Our Advanced Trainings
A look inside Level 1 Foundations

  • No, you don’t need to be an RMT. However, to get the most out of the training, we do recommend having a background in some education on anatomy and physiology.

    We teach the medical side of lymphatic drainage and use technical language that might be difficult to follow without prior training.

  • Yes! Although you will need to practice on roughly 3 people before confidently using this style of massage, you can in essence use it as soon as you complete the training.

  • If you are not an RMT you will not be permitted to have your massages claimed via insurance.

    However, if you do have a designation that allows for insurance billing, such as an acupuncturist, and you do some lymphatic massage in your hybrid treatment, you can decide if you’d like to offer a billable receipt to your client.

  • The cost of manual lymphatic drainage sessions differs depending on where you live and what your competitors are charging.

    We recommend researching your colleagues’ fees in your neighbourhood and deciding from there.

  • Be sure to brush up on any training you’ve had on human anatomy and physiology, including the nervous system.

    If you don’t do that, you’ll be fine to attend the training with confidence. Your teachers can explain any terms you might need refreshing on.

    PS - if you have long nails, we highly recommend cutting them.

  • There is street parking around the clinic.

    We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early to be sure you get a spot.

  • You bet! We provide a healthy lunch for all students. There are plenty of gluten and dairy-free options to choose from.

  • Workout gear or Sunday comfies :)

What our alumni have said…

  • Savana Wiebe, RPN

    “I can’t thank Thais and Cassandra enough for giving me the best experience at the TLA, your knowledge goes above and beyond, and I can’t wait to come back for level 2.”

  • Sarah R, RMT

    "I recently took the lymphatic drainage level 1 course. I really enjoyed this course! Cassandra and Thais were both amazing teachers. They made learning really easy and enjoyable. They are both very patient, kind, and thorough. They really make sure you understand what you are learning before moving on. When practicing the techniques on each other they make sure each student has enough time to practice and feel confident with the techniques. You can really tell how passionate they are. After taking their course I am feeling confident about adding MLD into my practice. I highly recommend this course and I can’t wait to take level 2! Thank you for everything!"

  • Jacqueline, RMT

    “Thank you for a great course this weekend! Thais and Cassandra were a dream to learn from. They are both passionate and kind and bring so much knowledge and expertise to this course. I felt very supported throughout the weekend and I am excited now to start incorporating lymphatic massage into my practice. I highly recommend it!"

  • Harpreet Kaur, RMT

    “Just completed level 1 of the lymphatic drainage course and it was absolutely amazing. Thais and Cassandra took their time explaining each step, why we do it and the benefit that comes from it. Even with a two-day course, they were able to give us so much knowledge, really made sure to take their time to explain everything as well as had time to ask any questions. In the course there were people from different professions such as RMT and nurses yet the instructors made sure to relate lymphatic drainage to each of our professions and gave us an open space to ask any questions that would help us in the future. They had an alumni come in and demonstrate the massage on them while we observed techniques. The next day was all filled with hands-on experience, where Thais and Cassandra worked with each one of us, one one-on-one, to ensure we got the technique correctly. Overall, I highly recommend this course and feel confident being able to add MLD to my practice.” 

  • Paula F, Aesthetician

    “Wonderful course! The content was rich and dynamic. Thais and Cassandra went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better instructors. Your kindness and attentiveness made a significant impact on my learning experience. Thais, I especially appreciate you reaching out almost every week to check in and offer support—it means so much to me! I feel incredibly lucky to have encountered such talented and special professionals on my journey.”

  • Taryn S, RMT

    “Thaís & Cassandra did not fall short of sharing their wealth of knowledge about the lymphatic system. They have an abundance of information to educate you on and ensure that their students are absorbing the curriculum. Their teaching methods implement guaranteed success for their students! I am so excited to add manual lymphatic drainage massage into my professional practice. I highly recommend this training and enjoyed the personal aspects of lunch and conversation.”
