When it comes to regenerative aging, the lymph does not get the credit it deserves
...and I am here to change that
If the idea of burning, scraping and peeling your skin, needling it until it bleeds, keeping up with a cosmetic injection routine, or using a 10-step skincare routine with exfoliating acids and retinol doesn’t really appeal to you, if you are looking to embrace aging and just want to do so gracefully, or if you have ever wondered about powerful natural options, please know that you are not alone and that is where the power of the lymph comes in.
We often forget that the signs of aging are created from an accumulation of damage deep into the tissues. Our bodies already know how to reverse the damage, how to repair and regenerate tissues. The main system that oversees this process is the lymphatic system. Therefore the easiest, most natural and most comprehensive approach to aging gracefully is to harness its regenerative powers. This is what I chose to specialize in years ago, and never looked back!
Restoring + Optimizing Lymph Flow In Everyday Life
The 3 Pillars
Over many years of working closely with clients, I have identified 3 main pillars when it comes to restoring lymph flow in the facial area so we can age gracefully.
Mitigating Inflammation
It turns out that many aspects of our modern lives can cause so much unnecessary free radicals and inflammation in the body. Inflammation directly burdens the lymphatic system because the immune system circulates within it. A lifestyle that includes stress management, proper nutrient intake, morning/evening routines, cycle tracking, and living with the seasons can have a profound impact on facial changes.
Drainage & Detoxification
Our modern lifestyles exposes us to thousands of toxicants and man-made chemicals each and every day. Our bodies are beautifully designed to deal with those exposures as long as the body's own elimination systems are functioning properly. Keeping them maintained, combined with low-tox living can help unburden the body and improve facial changes.
Fascial Fitness
The lymph flows through the fascia tissue, which is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every part of your body. Movement in many traditional practices such as yoga helps keep the fascia flexible and the lymph flowing, which is a key component of aging gracefully.
How Did I Get Here?
Chances are by now you are wondering who is behind The Lymph Initiatives, so let me properly introduce myself. My name is Genevieve Albert-Mawhinney, I am a Lymph Naturopath and Advanced Facial Mapping Expert with more than 17 years experience. Although I am obsessed with a lot of things, the lymph system and the drainage pathways take the cake. I started in the skincare industry in 2007. In 2019, I started introducing lymph work in my practice and it totally changed the trajectory of my career.

FAQ
The lymphatic system transports the lymph (a clear-to-white fluid) throughout the body. It also transports our immune system, healthy fats, proteins and water to all of our tissues. The lymphatic system’s main purpose is to exchange nutrients and waste deep in our tissues (even where blood vessels can’t reach) so our cells can bathe in a clean environment where they can thrive and be healthy. Because of its elusive morphology and mysterious pathophysiology (it cannot easily be “seen” when dissecting a body), the lymphatic system has been flying under the radar of conventional medicine, receiving much less scientific and medical attention because. However, a series of landmark discoveries made in the past decade has begun to change the previous misconception of the lymphatic system to be secondary to health.
The lymphatic system will help neutralize and get rid of dead or dying cells, mutant cells, pathogens (bacteria, viruses, mold, fungus), synthetic man-made substances (such as colorants, preservatives, pesticides, etc.), and heavy metals or minerals (zinc, asbestos, silica, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, etc.). Basically, the lymphatic system will collect anything that is not supposed to be there or is not used by the cells to create new cells or produce energy. This is why moving the lymph, detoxifying the right way and living a “low-tox” life will help support your whole body because the lymphatic system will not be burdened dealing with that waste.
There are many factors that can influence lymphatic health, such as: Genetics, lymph node/lymph organs removal, cancer, chronic infections, inflammation, toxic burden, poor nutrition, lack of movement and surgical procedures.
There are many signs of stagnant lymph, which can range from swelling, cellulite, acne, excessive burping to undigested food particles in the stool.
