This summer, Global Outreach Developments International (G.O.D. Int'l) proudly partnered with The Soma Wellness Group to host a healthcare seminar for the Burmese refugee community in Nashville. This collaboration aimed to provide vital education on maintaining and enhancing health through a better understanding of the lymphatic system.
The seminar was led by two experienced professionals: Kim Ownby, a licensed massage and ELT/ALT Therapist, and Gabrielle Calhoun, a Licensed Massage Therapist and Arvigo Practitioner from Soma Wellness. Together, they delivered comprehensive insights into the lymphatic system's crucial role in keeping us healthy and combating illnesses.
Kim Ownby focused on explaining how the lymphatic system works and shared practical advice on ways to improve lymphatic flow. Her guidance emphasized the importance of a balanced lifestyle, which includes proper hydration, nutritious food, restful sleep, regular movement, and techniques to promote sweating—all of which aid in boosting the immune system.
Gabrielle Calhoun further enriched the seminar by teaching participants specific stretches and movements designed to enhance flexibility and range of motion. These exercises not only promote physical wellness but also help improve lymphatic function, which is vital for overall health.
We at G.O.D. Int'l are deeply grateful for the education and contributions of Kim and Gabrielle. Their knowledge and passion for wellness left a lasting impact on the Burmese community, empowering many to take better care of their health through simple, effective practices.
This partnership with Soma Wellness Group is a reflection of our commitment to supporting refugee communities by providing essential resources for their wellbeing. We look forward to continuing such collaborations, which bring hope, healing, and empowerment to those in need.
