Lymphatic Drainage Testimonials

🌿 “20 Years of Sciatica Pain Gone After One Lymphatic Drainage Session”

Client’s Experience

After the session, this client began noticing changes right away. Within 5 days, the sciatica that had persisted for 20 years was gone. By 10 days after the session, she reported being completely pain-free. Here is client’s voice.

Sciatica and Back Pain
Twenty years ago, sciatica made walking very difficult. Doctors struggled to help, and eventually gave one epidural block injection. During the session, I suddenly recognized the exact spot where the injection had been given. Sciatica had persisted for 20 years, but by the 5th day after the session, the pain was completely gone. Lower back pain also eased from 10 (worst) to 6.

Walking and Leg Condition
On the same day as the session, stepping out of the car and walking to the entrance, my legs felt lighter than usual. That night, severe pain in the right ankle woke me up, lasting until the next day — but by the evening it was completely gone. Since then, getting in and out of the car has been pain-free. By the third day, swelling behind the knee had also disappeared without notice.

Cough, Phlegm, and Dental Episode
After the session, I coughed up yellow phlegm with small sac-like particles. The next day, a tooth broke and required dental treatment — yet not a single cough occurred during the procedure.

Sweating and Autonomic Nervous System
On the night of September 8 (the day of the session), I experienced heavy night sweats, enough to soak through undergarments and require a full change of clothes. On September 10, the same heavy sweating happened again. Afterward, the unusual post-meal sweating stopped, and temperature regulation returned to normal.

Digestive and Internal Reactions
During the session, there was a clear “gurgling” in the solar plexus area — a sign my digestive system was activating again.

Seasonal Sensitivity
Previously, cooler weather worsened the pain, often requiring extra clothing and leg warmers. Since the session, I have been comfortable without leg warmers, even on cooler days.

Seasonal Sensitivity

Practitioner’s Perspective

This client’s journey shows how deeply lymphatic drainage can affect not only pain relief but also systemic functions. The rapid improvement in long-standing sciatica suggests that circulation and tissue release were activated, allowing the body to let go of chronic tension patterns.

The temporary flare-ups — ankle pain, heavy sweating, coughing — can be understood as the body’s way of clearing stored stagnation and recalibrating. Far from being setbacks, these transitions are often part of the healing process.

The improvements in digestion, temperature regulation, and seasonal sensitivity point to a broader rebalancing of the autonomic nervous system. Overall, her progress illustrates how one session can set in motion significant and lasting change.

🌿 Pain Relief and Postural Realignment

Case 1: Pain Relief and Daily Function Improved

Client Experience (Day-by-Day Report):
Practitioner’s Perspective:

The reduction of pain (8 → 5 → 3) over consecutive days shows that lymphatic circulation was activated and the body began releasing stored tension and waste. Her ability to perform tasks without compensating (not leaning on the elbow) demonstrates that her body is rediscovering a natural balance.

Post-session changes often include fluctuations—sometimes a brief return of discomfort—while the body integrates. This is actually a good sign of healing. Hydration, gentle movement, and mindful awareness support the body’s ongoing process.

Case 2: Posture and Body Alignment Awareness

Client Experience:

“After a bath, I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed something surprising. Around my stomach area there were new folds, as if my spine had compressed over time. I also felt like my belly button had shifted slightly to the right. Maybe it is just my imagination… but I wonder if my twisted body is finally straightening out.”

Practitioner’s Perspective:

These observations are a classic sign of the body’s structural rebalancing.

🌿 Sinus & Shoulder Pain Released

“I was experiencing knee pain, pain in my back/shoulder area on my right side, blocked sinuses, and swelling/inflammation in my hands. During the session, I could feel pressure in my sinuses even while Kozue was working on my chest area. After the session, my sinuses were no longer blocked and have since remained mostly clear. The pain in my back/shoulder area completely disappeared. The swelling in my hands is still present but has diminished. A few days later, my sinuses do sometimes block a little more at night, but during the day they stay clear. Overall, I really feel the benefit of the lymphatic drainage treatment.” Sep. 2025

🌿Sciatica Relief (remote)

“I had been suffering from severe sciatica since last year, and by January it had gotten much worse. Walking was very difficult, and my thigh was so tight and painful I couldn’t even touch it. During the session, the pain spiked, but the next day it was gone. Within days I was walking, shopping, and exercising again—completely pain-free. Even 10 days later, I’m still without pain. My pain went from 10 (worst) to 0.” Aug. 2025

🌿Sinus & Breath Relief (in-person)

“For a long time I had a persistent cough and had lost my sense of smell. Nothing I tried really helped, and it was exhausting. The night after the session, I hardly coughed at all. The next morning the cough returned for a couple of hours, then cleared and I felt much lighter. Four days later, my cough had improved from 10 (worst) to 3.5. Each time I cough now, it feels like one step closer to being completely cleared.” in-person Aug. 2025

🌿Arm & Leg Relief (remote)

“Since March I had been struggling with arm pain. My doctor explained that the space between my neck and shoulder was narrowing and pressing on a nerve. Treatments and physical therapy only gave temporary relief. On top of that, ever since surgery nine years ago, my legs often felt heavy and swollen. Before the session, my pain was at 10, but it dropped to 2. Three days later, my arm pain was completely gone, and the heaviness in my legs that I used to feel in the evenings had eased.” Sep. 2025

Bridge Series Transformations – 3-Session Deep Healing Stories

🌿“Profound Shifts” (remote)

“Thank you so very much for my Bridge Session package. Each of the three sessions brought profound shifts, deep healing, and powerful transformation. I could feel layers peeling away—especially the deeply rooted wounds from my earlier life, the ones I had tucked away like skeletons in a closet. Now they are rising to the surface with compassion and awareness.

I feel lighter, clearer, and genuinely happier. There’s a new sense of clarity moving through me, and I’ve even started releasing the physical heaviness I had unknowingly carried as protection. These sessions opened the door to a more authentic, aligned version of myself—and I am deeply grateful.”

🌿“Intuitive and Healing” (remote)

“Recently, I had the opportunity to experience a BodyTalk Bridge Series session with Kozue. Her intuition was truly amazing—she was able to hone in on what was bothering me and gently alleviate it. I felt seen, supported, and uplifted. It was an absolute joy to work with her.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — June 2025

Individual BodyTalk Sessions (1:1 Emotional + Physical Support)

“Kozue is an exceptional practitioner—professional, experienced, and incredibly kind. In our one-on-one session, she created a safe space where I felt completely comfortable opening up. The night after, I had an intense, almost lucid dream—a rare experience for me—in which I accessed and released a range of long-suppressed emotions. It was truly liberating, allowing me to let go of the past and move forward with joy and genuine happiness. I highly recommend Kozue to anyone seeking transformative energy work.”

🌿“Peace and Relief”

Kozue Stankaitis did a body talk session on me about one month ago.  I have had an unresolved ongoing issue with my daughter for the past four years.   I did not realize how much it physically affected me and my body until Kozue was able to relieve me of the constant yearning to connect with my daughter.  Immediately, I could feel the peace and relief her healing had given me.   It’s been a month now, and I still feel as good as I did the day of my session.  Kozue is an excellent healer and I highly recommend her.  Thank you so much, Kozue.

🌿“Strength After Trauma”

“I cannot highly recommend her enough for any healing work, especially for those who have experienced trauma.  

I drove down an hour and forty minutes, in sheer desperation for some help, to see Kozue on an emergency basis. She was so kind to make time for me after hearing my voice on the phone. I think that’s what got me to her house in one piece. I left that day able to have the strength to continue to the next. Kozue is the second practitioner with whom I’ve experienced the BodyTalk modality of treatment, and I am awed by how she was able to help my body resolve pain. I told my physical therapist that it felt like she was syncing the rhythm of my continually nauseous stomach (something I had been in the ER countless times since 2020) with the rest of my body. I went home with no nausea that day. The BodyTalk modality dictates that a practitioner merely provides the environment for a body to heal through its innate wisdom. Kozue understood and resolved my pain with compassion and grace, two things I desperately needed. I have since had two more sessions, both under extenuating circumstances, and emerged able to live. I cannot highly recommend her enough for any healing work, especially for those who have experienced trauma.

🌿“Discovering the Past”

Kozue was wonderful and helped me discover past events that were ‘blocking’ me from moving forward, specifically an event that happened in college. I was very grateful that her sessions helped me deal with these issues. She also helped me release many pent-up repressed emotions, feel/listen to my heart more, and express myself better. I highly recommend Kozue’s BodyTalk session!

🌿“Improved Sleep”

Kozue was wonderful & helped me to discover past events that were ‘blocking’ me from moving forward. Specifically, I’m so glad that I had a session with Kozue!! I was suffering from insomnia for the last three months, and I was looking for a natural naturopath. My friend recommended it, and I luckily found a local certified Body Talk practitioner, Kozue. I’ve never done body talk before, so I had no idea how it would work, but I decided to give it a try since I wanted to get this improved without taking a medical pill.
I had a 60-minute session, which was a relaxing and great experience. Kozue was very professional and reviewed all the details, like body-talk and how our body works. After 10~15 min hearing and consultation, she figured out all my physical conditions and problems. She explained to me what’s causing my insomnia and how I can improve it. After her session, my insomnia problem has been improved.
I’m excited to have the next session with her. I’m venting about what happened in college. I was very grateful that her sessions helped me deal with these issues. She also helped me release many pent-up repressed emotions, feel/listen to my heart more, and express myself better. I highly recommend Kozue’s BodyTalk session!

Professional Endorsements – Practitioner Reviews

🌿“Mentor”

“Kozue Stankaitis is one of the most sensitively attuned clinicians I know. I’ve had the privilege of both watching her work and receiving BodyTalk from her myself. Her intuition, accuracy, and level of caring are unsurpassed. I don’t often refer clients to other practitioners, but I am always confident sending them to Kozue.”
