Colibrí Massage & Bodyworks
In some indigenous communities, El Colibrí (the hummingbird) is highly protected as a sacred being as it acts as a messenger of time and healing.
One incredible characteristic of the hummingbird is that it has the ability to fly backward and forward which mirrors the importance of one being able to look back at the past but still continue forward, and while still being in the present.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage ( MLD )
Is a technique that uses very light, skin stretching pressure to stimulate the lymphatic system, our body’s filtering system. MLD is a systematic approach which increases the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body or region, which can help to reduce swelling and promote detoxification.
What is massage therapy?
Massage therapy is a form of therapy aimed to establish balance between the mind and body through the manipulation of soft tissue (muscle, ligament, tendon).
Despite its long history among many cultures as being a part of their healthcare systems, it has recently been accepted as a part of integrative medicine here in the United States. More and more medical care providers are referring patients to massage therapy as a part of treatment for its therapeutic effect. Sports trainers are also including massage therapy as a part of their athletic training programs for its effective role in injury prevention and recovery, athletic performance progress, and more.

Testimonials
“As a person who had never had manual lymphatic drainage done before and had only seen videos of it on the internet, I was so excited to try this out with Yessenia! To start, I knew little to nothing about the science behind manual lymphatic drainage. All I thought was that MLD could be done to the body to help with some firming. Yessenia did explained to me that manual lymphatic drainage helps to boost a person’s immune system by removing toxins and other waste products by moving lymph fluid and preventing a clogged lymphatic system. She emphasized that the lymphatic systems keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections. She is very knowledgable on the subject.
With it being flu season and also not making the healthiest food choices this entire holiday season (yes, guilty lol)- I realized MLD could help make me feel less lousy.
At the beginning of every appointment we would discuss my progress and the effects I was experiencing. After each session, I felt more incredible. I was energized, less moody and felt rebalanced. I did look less swollen in my face and I did not have any bloating either. As a person who really hasn’t been doing much movement this winter season, I definitely saw a difference in my appearance.
I recommend MLD whether you’re having digestive issues, lots of bloating/swelling, stress, see yourself getting sick easily or if you just want to relax and feel pretty afterwards- because you definitely will!”
“The whole experience was wonderful! The space is beautiful and soothing, and Yessenia is a caring and attentive practitioner. She reviewed my allergies and preferences before we started, and then gently checked in with me during the session about the pressure being applied and my well-being. It was exactly what I needed, and I’m looking forward to my next one!”
“My second massage with Yessenia. She has relieved the pain in my mid and lower back that I have been experiencing due to arthritis. The pain and discomfort is not totally gone, but much improved. Thanks Yessenia.”
“Yesenia was great! She took the time to really find where my issues were, made me comfortable in the setting, and listened to feedback and adjusted accordingly as we went. I will definitely keep coming back!”
“I recently had the pleasure of receiving a manual lymphatic drainage massage from Yessenia, and I must say it was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment I walked into her tranquil studio, I felt at ease and relaxed. Yessenia was incredibly attentive and took the time to understand my needs and concerns before beginning the massage. Her technique was gentle, yet effective, and I could feel the tension in my body melting away with every stroke. She expertly worked on the areas that needed the most attention, and I felt a noticeable improvement in my circulation and lymphatic system.
Aside from her technical skills, Yessenia’s warm and calming presence made the entire experience even more enjoyable. She was professional, yet personable, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire massage. I would highly recommend Yessenia to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate massage therapist. Her manual lymphatic drainage massage was truly exceptional, and I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and grateful for the experience.
“Always and great peaceful experience! Very relaxing atmosphere and the massage table is comfortable I fall alseep everytime .”
