I spent $60,000 on machines. Then I spent one year with my hands.
Three years ago I left a corporate job that was quietly destroying my health. I went all-in on body contouring. I bought a high-end body contouring machine a “successful clinic” was supposed to own.
Twelve months later I had three repeat clients. The few I did attract left underwhelmed. The machine was painful, expensive, and inconsistent. I was one bad review away from closing.
Then I trained in Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage.
Within two months I was fully booked. Within four months I had a month-long waitlist. I was charging $150+ per session, with my hands. No machines required.
But something nagged me. The training I’d taken was strong on technique and thin on anatomy. I went back to the literature. What I found, the cisterna chyli, the lumbar trunks, the diaphragmatic pump, had been almost entirely absent from my training.
I built the method around those.
Today, my graduates report their clients see results in one session that used to take three. The ShapeFX® Method is the certification I wish I’d been able to take when I started.
