Everything starts at your chest
Not your legs. Not wherever feels puffiest. Your chest, every single time, because that is where it all drains back to. Do it in the wrong order and you are pushing against a closed door.
Chelsey walks through the whole sequence. Or read it below.
The whole thing, written out
Pop the cork
Get comfortable, relax, and breathe deep. Then tap at your chest, collarbone and armpits. This is where everything drains back to, so it has to be open before anything else moves. Chelsey calls it popping the cork.
Then tap the other main stations too: tummy, hips, knees, ankles and elbows.
Upper body
Gentle brushing movements, three to ten strokes each, always towards your heart.
Armpits to heart · neck to heart · elbows to heart · fingertips to heart
Core
A clockwise motion around your abdomen, three to ten times. Then sweeping strokes from your back towards your belly button, and upwards from your tummy towards your heart.
Flow up the legs
Tap at the hips first. Then gentle upward brushing movements, three to ten strokes each.
All around your pelvic area · knees to pelvis · ankles and calves to knees · full leg, toes to pelvis
Bounce
Rebound, dance, hop, skip, jump. Whatever you like. Two minutes of moving at the end is what carries everything you have just shifted.
The bits people ask about
- How long does it take?
- Two to five minutes for the whole sequence, once or twice a day.
- What is a good pressure?
- Hard enough to feel it, soft enough not to hurt.
- Which side of the glove?
- Spiky side on bare skin. Magnetic roller side over clothes, or on bare skin after your cream or oil.
- How do I breathe?
- In through your nose for four seconds, out through your mouth for six.
Start slowly. Every second day to begin with, then build up. There is no prize for rushing it.
Print it and stick it up
The one-page version, with the stroke directions drawn on. Most women put it on the back of the bathroom door.

The sequence uses all three: the gloves to move, the cream so the glove glides, and the oil after. If you are starting from nothing, start with the kit rather than buying them one at a time.

What it looks like once it is a habit
“I keep my kit on the bathroom vanity so that I can use the products straight after my shower. Keeping it here reminds me to do it every day. I found the mitts scratchy at first, but I quickly got used to the sensation. I love the Lymphatic body cream. It’s incredibly hydrating and my skin looks and feels so much better.”
Tracey K.
“I have found my Energy improved and I’m overall more aware of my body. My arms and lower legs don’t ache and I love using the rollers. It’s nice giving myself some self-care.”
