Certification Course

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (BLD)

A sculpting, detoxifying technique blending traditional lymphatic drainage with Brazilian body contouring methods for face and full body.

BLD Full Body & Buccal Facial Certification

Lift · Contour · Detox

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage is one of the most sought-after techniques in wellness today — and for good reason. This intensive day course equips you with a full-body and facial skill set that your clients will return for again and again. Blending rhythmic lymphatic strokes with fascia-releasing movements, BLD reduces swelling, sculpts and contours the body, and accelerates post-operative recovery. The facial component adds buccal (intra-oral) massage for jaw definition and lifting — a game-changing skill that sets your practice apart.

Our small-group format ensures individualized feedback and real skill development, so you leave confident and clinic-ready from day one.

What You Will Learn:

  • Anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system
  • Principles of detoxification, fascia, and fluid retention
  • Contraindications and client intake protocols
  • Full-body BLD strokes and sequencing
  • Face mapping and buccal facial massage techniques
  • Tool integration for enhanced contouring results
  • Post-operative and post-surgical application protocols
  • Hands-on practice with live models

Prerequisites:

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), esthetician, or equivalent healthcare professional. Basic anatomy knowledge required.

Certificate upon completion.

Certification Pathway

Traditional Thai Massage

A progressive two-level journey into the ancient healing art of Thai massage — where acupressure, assisted stretching, and mindful bodywork come together into one of the most complete modalities a therapist can offer.

Thai Massage Level 1: Foundations

Introduction to Traditional Thai Bodywork

Level 1 introduces you to the foundational principles and techniques of Traditional Thai Massage (Nuad Boran) — often called 'lazy yoga.' You'll learn to work with the body's energy lines (Sen lines), apply rhythmic compression, and guide clients through passive stretches, all performed on a mat with the client fully clothed. By the end of the course, you'll have a complete supine and prone sequence ready to use immediately in your practice.

Course Content:

  • History, philosophy, and traditions of Thai massage
  • Thai energy lines (Sen lines) and their therapeutic applications
  • Body mechanics, posture, and practitioner self-care
  • Thumb, palm, elbow, and foot pressure techniques
  • Passive stretching sequences for the lower body and hips
  • Full supine and prone treatment sequences
  • Contraindications and safe practice guidelines
  • Supervised hands-on practice

Prerequisites:

Registered Massage Therapist or equivalent healthcare professional. No prior Thai massage experience required.

Thai Massage Level 2: Advanced Applications

Upper Body, Side-Lying & Advanced Stretching

Building on the Level 1 foundation, this course expands your repertoire into the upper body, side-lying, and seated sequences — plus advanced assisted yoga stretches that will transform what you can offer your clients. You'll learn to adapt techniques for specific needs, address complex conditions, and seamlessly integrate Thai massage elements into your existing clinical or spa practice.

Course Content:

  • Advanced shoulder, neck, and upper extremity sequences
  • Side-lying protocols for pregnancy and client comfort adaptations
  • Seated Thai massage techniques
  • Advanced spinal twists and hip-opening stretches
  • Therapeutic applications for back pain, sciatica, and frozen shoulder
  • Integrating Thai massage into a clinical or spa setting
  • Full advanced treatment sequence with case studies

Prerequisites:

Successful completion of Thai Massage Level 1.
