What Is Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage(“BLDM”)?
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a powerful, full-body technique designed to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce fluid retention, and sculpt the body’s natural contours. Based on the evolved techniques of Brazilian practitioners like Josie Rushing, this approach blends traditional lymphatic drainage with specific sequences and pressure designed to optimize detoxification and enhance visible results.
Unlike traditional lymphatic massage, BLDM incorporates rhythmic movements and deep pumping techniques that stimulate key lymph nodes—from the pelvis and abdomen to the armpits and thoracic duct. This helps move stagnant lymphatic fluid, flush toxins, and boost circulation, all while supporting immune health and overall vitality.
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage is known not just for its health benefits—but for its instant sculpting effect. It’s popular before events, after travel, and post-surgery for its ability to visibly reduce bloating and puffiness.
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage massage involves bringing the fluid stuck in between cells and in the tissue to the lymph nodes, in order to be pumped out of the body. It requires a deeper touch, so it helps with cellulite appearance and increases circulation in general, creating that "sculpting" effect. Since Brazil is considered one of the world leaders in plastic surgery procedures—lymphatic drainage is considered mandatory after any cosmetic procedure.

What to Expect During a Session:
A Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage session is a relaxing, full-body experience. You’ll receive gentle, rhythmic strokes along the lymphatic pathways, with attention to areas like the abdomen, legs, underarms, and chest. Expect light pressure, soothing breathwork, and a focus on the digestive system.
Some sessions may include buccal massage (inside the mouth) and gentle fascial work, especially for those seeking deeper detox or contouring. It’s not painful, though if you're coming in post-surgery, the touch may feel more sensitive at first.
You’ll likely leave feeling lighter, more relaxed, and visibly less bloated.
