The Modern Lymph Method™ Experiences
Expert knowledge. Practical tools. Self-care you can actually use.
The Modern Lymph Method™ Experiences are intimate, hands-on educational experiences designed to help you better understand your lymphatic system—and learn practical ways to support it in everyday life.
Limited to small groups, each experience combines education, guided practice, personalized instruction, and thoughtfully selected take-home tools and resources so you can confidently continue what you've learned at home.
New! Self-Care Experiences
Join us for small-group experiences designed to make lymphatic self-care approachable, practical, and easy to bring into everyday life. Each Modern Lymph Method™ Experience is intentionally kept small, allowing for personalized attention, hands-on guidance, and individual technique support. Through step-by-step instruction, you’ll perform your own guided lymphatic self-care routine while learning other supportive approaches specific to each experience. Thoughtfully curated products and tools are incorporated to support what you’re learning and help you continue your self-care at home.
Facial Flow
​Discover a gentle, hands-on approach to facial lymphatic self-care designed to support healthy lymphatic flow, reduce the appearance of puffiness, soften facial tension, and leave your face looking refreshed and naturally radiant.
Your ritual begins with a warm towel facial cleanse, followed by guided, step-by-step instruction as we perform the complete ritual together—combining gentle myofascial release with detailed lymphatic drainage of the face and neck, including focused techniques for the delicate eye and under-eye area.
You’ll learn proper pressure, placement, direction, and rhythm, with personalized hands-on guidance throughout. While primarily focused on facial aesthetics, the techniques may also benefit occasional sinus pressure and facial congestion.
Intentionally limited to just six guests, this experience is gentle, relaxing, and results-focused—leaving you with a simple ritual you can confidently continue at home.
Includes thoughtfully selected skincare products used during the ritual, a muslin cleansing cloth, laminated facial lymphatic chart, step-by-step instructions.
​
​
Belly & Flow
Give your belly a little breathing room. This hands-on experience focuses on gentle lymphatic self-care for the abdomen to support healthy flow, ease feelings of constipation, bloating and fullness, and release everyday tension through the belly.
You’ll be guided through a soothing abdominal routine, then layer in breath, accupressure, gentle movement, and simple fascia techniques that work beautifully together.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, more open, and equipped with a simple self-care routine you can return to whenever your belly—or your body—feels sluggish, tight, or puffy.
You’ll leave with thoughtfully selected self-care tools and a laminated step-by-step lymphatic routine to help you continue your Belly + Flow practice at home.
Because the abdomen is an important part of lymphatic flow for the lower body, this experience also pairs beautifully with Light Legs + Flow.
​
Lighter Legs & Flow
Give tired, heavy legs a reset. This guided, hands-on experience combines lymphatic self-care with gentle movement and simple fascia techniques designed to support healthy circulation and lymphatic flow through the legs and lower body.
You’ll learn an easy-to-follow lymphatic routine for the feet and legs, along with techniques that encourage movement, circulation, and release areas of tension that can leave your legs feeling tight, sluggish, puffy, or heavy. We’ll explore the important role of the feet, ankles, and calf muscles in keeping things moving, while incorporating gentle movement and fascia work to support the entire lower body.
Whether you spend long hours sitting at a desk, standing on your feet, traveling, or simply notice that your legs feel heavier as the day goes on, you’ll learn practical ways to give them a little extra attention.
You’ll leave with thoughtfully selected self-care tools and a laminated step-by-step lymphatic routine to help you continue your Lighter Legs + Flow practice at home.
Pairs beautifully with Belly + Flow, which takes the work upstream with a focus on abdominal lymphatic flow and self-care

Aimee Kupcak
Aimee is a clinical massage therapist, Certified Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) practitioner, and Certified Plastic Surgery Therapist (CPST) with nearly three decades of experience in therapeutic bodywork, pain management, post-surgical recovery, and oncology massage. Her education in lymphatic drainage began in 2005 at the Colorado School of Healing Arts, and she has continued advanced lymphatic training throughout her career with the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS), Chikly Health Institute, and Klose Training.
​​​​​​​
Throughout her career, Aimee has worked with individuals managing a wide range of health and recovery needs. That experience has shaped one of her strongest beliefs: self-care should be simple, accessible, and something you can actually use in everyday life.
This philosophy became the foundation for The Modern Lymph Method™—a simple, easy, and effective approach to lymphatic self-care. Aimee takes what can feel like a complicated system and makes it understandable, practical, and approachable, teaching people how small, intentional practices can support lymphatic flow and overall well-being.
Aimee has also mentored and taught massage professionals in multiple therapeutic techniques and developed specialized training programs in oncology massage and post-surgical lymphatic drainage. Today, she brings her years of clinical experience and education into The Modern Lymph Method™ Experiences, including intimate classes, workshops, and retreats designed to make learning about the body both useful and enjoyable.
Her teaching style blends education with ease. She believes self-care doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming to be valuable—it simply needs to be something you understand and will actually do.
Simple. Easy. Effective.

Jenny Romano
Jenny began her career in 1997 at The Institute of Aveda. In 2017, she became licensed in California and opened her own practice. She is a Certified Pastiche Advanced Skin Analysis Diagnostician, an advanced technique to accurately determine skin type and condition with a focus on the root cause, rather than just treating symptoms. Additionally, she is trained in the Vodder technique for Manual Lymphatic Drainage of the face and neck and has extensive education and practice in fascia release, excelling in natural facial rejuvenation.
Jenny's passion is healing the body from the inside out. Her work as an esthetician has evolved from inside the treatment room to a classroom setting where she can work alongside others in a supportive role.
Continuing to deepen her holistic practice, Jenny is currently completing a 200-hour yoga teacher training with a focus in yin yoga, which centers on the connective tissue, including fascia — a natural extension of her work in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and fascia release. Her goal is to educate others on how they can bring these holistic techniques into their own self-care.
Jenny is also a sound bath practitioner and healer, and facilitates Kintsugi workshops, drawing on the Japanese art of embracing imperfection as a lens for healing and self-acceptance.
