Why Train in Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage?
Brazilian lymphatic drainage has become one of the fastest-growing treatments in the UK and Ireland — driven by demand for body contouring, sculpting and post-procedure recovery. Clients are actively searching for it, yet very few therapists in Northern Ireland are trained to deliver it. Unlike traditional MLD, the Brazilian method uses firmer, faster rhythmic movements combined with sculpting techniques for visible results in a single session.

The course combines self-paced online theory with one full practical training day. Most learners complete the online element in a few hours spread over one to two weeks before attending in person.
What qualification do I need to enrol?
You'll need a recognised Level 3 massage qualification or equivalent. If you're not sure whether yours qualifies, contact us and we'll check for you.
Is Brazilian lymphatic drainage the same as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)?
No. Traditional MLD uses very light, slow pressure and is primarily clinical. The Brazilian method uses firmer, faster rhythmic strokes combined with sculpting movements, and is used for contouring, de-bloating and wellness treatments as well as recovery support.
Can I charge more for this treatment after qualifying?
Brazilian lymphatic drainage is typically positioned as a premium treatment, and many therapists offer it as both single sessions and treatment courses. Pricing and packaging guidance is covered on the course.
