Hello! I am Barbara Lina Lei; a Good Fun Ecstatic Quinquagenarian Mom; Coach, Instructor, Trainer of specialty, Holistic Practitioner (Certified Aromatherapist with a MERIT in ITEC L3 Diploma in Aromatherapy). Aromatherapy is a huge part of my wellness routine so it’s important that I incorporate it to support my body in a way that allows me to achieve my fitness goals. With one passion in mind, seeking wellness as a whole; holistic approach to life physically, mentally, emotionally. Harness the power of essential oil therapy to enhance your performance in sports and fitness today!
My fitness routines include self care lymphatic drainage : Lymphatic fluid is completely dependent on physical exercise to move and the up-and-down repetitive rhythmic gravitational motion of bouncing, the lymph system one-way vales to open and close increasing lymph flow provides a simple, zero-impact exercise method with long-term mental and physical health benefits. These benefits include increasing oxygen uptake and promoting detoxification via the lungs, skin and lymph. And breathing techniques; after all aromatherapy is about scents.
Other important things you can do to support your fitness goals is to care for your joints and muscles. I know that when I intensify my workouts sore muscles are soon to follow! For times like these, using a soothing muscle rub infused with healing essential oils is the perfect way to deflect inflammation, decrease discomfort, and improve recovery before and after a workout. Essential oils have a role in preparing the body and mind for optimum sports performance as well as post exertion recovery.
