What makes NeuroSomatic Lymphatic Drainage™ unique?

NeuroSomatic Lymphatic Drainage™ was developed at node & needle by our Founder, a licensed mental health clinician and certified lymphatic therapist. Her background in trauma-informed care and somatic therapies shaped a technique that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of healing. This approach views the lymphatic and nervous systems as deeply connected pathways that influence how the body restores balance and releases held tension.
 

By integrating principles of neuroscience, manual lymphatic drainage, and somatic awareness, this method helps regulate the nervous system while improving the body’s ability to clear inflammation and stagnation. It also supports the glymphatic system, the brain’s own cleansing network that removes metabolic waste and inflammatory byproducts during rest.

Healthy glymphatic flow is essential for cognitive function, memory, and long-term brain health. When the glymphatic system becomes sluggish, toxins can accumulate around neural tissue, contributing to brain fog, fatigue, and increased risk for neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. By supporting lymphatic and glymphatic circulation together, NeuroSomatic Lymphatic Drainage™ encourages clearer thinking, better sleep, and more efficient neural recovery.

Each session is designed to create measurable changes in circulation and swelling, while also inviting a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and connection between mind and body.
