Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage: Detox, Wellness & Hormonal Support

When your lymphatic system is sluggish, toxins and excess fluid can build up, causing bloating, fatigue, weakened immunity, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, digestive discomfort, and even skin issues. Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (BLD) is a specialized massage that stimulates lymph flow, releases fascial restrictions, and supports your body’s natural detox, helping you feel lighter, more energized, and healthier inside and out.

  • Support immune function

  • Improve hormonal balance, easing peri-menopause and menopause symptoms

  • Support digestion and gut health

  • Loosen fascial restrictions that can impede lymph flow

  • Boost energy, vitality, and relaxation

FAQ

Q: Is this covered by extended health insurance?
A: If you have coverage for Massage Therapy, Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage will be covered at Mosaic, as it is performed by Mandy, an RMT with a registration number. Lymphatic drainage massages on the body and face are insurance receipt–eligible only when performed by an RMT for therapeutic purposes.

Q: How often should I get a Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage massage?
A: Frequency depends on your individual needs and wellness goals.

  • General maintenance and overall well-being: Monthly sessions are typically sufficient.

  • Managing specific symptoms or conditions (bloating, menstrual discomfort, sleep issues, injury, or athletic recovery): More frequent sessions may help, ranging from a couple of times a month to once or twice a week.
    Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Q: Is it painful?
A: No—BLD uses gentle but firm, rhythmic, precise movements that are comfortable while effectively stimulating lymph flow. Some sensitive areas with tight fascia, such as the sides of the legs, may feel slightly uncomfortable as the fascia is released. Your therapist will check in and adjust pressure as needed for your comfort.

Q: When will I feel results?
A: Many clients notice reduced swelling, a sense of lightness, and improved energy after the first session. Multiple sessions provide longer-lasting benefits.

Q: What happens to the fluid during a lymphatic drainage massage?
A: During the massage, excess fluid is gently guided through the lymphatic system. This fluid, along with toxins and waste, is processed by the lymph nodes and eventually returned to the bloodstream for elimination from the body.
