Brought to us by Clare Hill, this course teaches light lymphatic drainage techniques combined with body and face sculpting methods and includes the use of wooden tools (Maderotherapy) and Vacuum Cupping.
Combining light lymphatic drainage techniques with body and face sculpting methods helps to reduce bloating, enhance definition in the areas being worked and leaves clients feeling lighter and more relaxed.
Light drainage techniques are used to reduce puffiness of the face followed by brisk massage movements, facial wooden tools and vacuum cupping to sculpt the face. On the body, light drainage techniques first prepare the lymphatic pathways. Deeper sculpting movements using the hands, wooden tools and vacuum cupping, contour and shape the body.
Unlike classical MLD, which is very light and slow, Brazilian Body Sculpting blends lymphatic-style drainage with faster, firmer massage, deeper tissue work and acupressure. The aim is to support fluid movement and reduce temporary water retention which then creates a more sculpted appearance.
Maderotherapy, often referred to as Wood Therapy or Colombian Wood Therapy, is a bodywork technique that uses specially carved wooden tools designed to work with the natural contours of the body and, combined with lymphatic-style massage, contours the body.
Vacuum Cupping is documented in early medical texts like Egypt’s Ebers Papyrus (1550 BCE) and practised by traditional healers in China, Greece and the Middle East to clear blockages and expel toxins.
These techniques can be used as a standalone body drain & sculpt treatment, as part of a facial or combined.
