Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage has been taught as “steps”. I teach it as anatomy.
I'm Lena Fontaine, a former 9-to-5er who swapped the corporate grind for a wellness practice that's since served over 1000 clients and trained therapists across North America to build businesses that actually work around their lives.
When I started, I took eight Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage courses. I flew to Brazil. I went to Europe. I learned Portuguese just to take some of them.
Every single time I thought this is the one.
And every time I walked out with another sequence to memorise and no idea why any of it worked.
I was in a loop of endless investment, looking for a new course, spending more money, repeating. To the point where I stopped keeping count.
So I stopped looking, and built the one I'd been trying to find.

FAQ
1. Do I need to be a licensed massage therapist to enroll?
This course is suitable for RMTs, manual therapists, naturopathic doctors, nurses, chiropractors, osteopaths, nutritionists and holistic estheticians. Significant massage experience is required.

The online course is self-paced. Most students complete it in 1 to 2 weeks, practicing 2 to 3 hours a week, and can book their first client within days of finishing.
