Meet Your Instructors

Hi there!

We’re Thais and Cassandra, the co-founders of the Toronto Lymphatic Academy and your course facilitators.

We first met at Longév Clinic, the headquarters of the Academy and home to our private practices. After discussing our unique approaches to manual lymphatic drainage, we knew we were aligned and had to join forces.

Our massage style emphasizes the medical side of lymphatic drainage, prioritizing health benefits over aesthetics. While a reduction in water weight and a leaner appearance are welcomed effects, we focus on the nervous system and optimizing clients’ overall health.

From the pace of our speech to the environment we create in the clinic, every detail is designed to calm the nervous system. This approach enhances metabolic function, detoxification, and repair—key reasons clients seek us out.

In the winter of 2023, inspired by our passion, we collaborated with Dr. Kate and Dr. Nadine, founders of Longév Clinic, to create an Academy certifying holistic practitioners in lymphatic drainage massage with a focus on nervous system regulation. By spring, we launched our first cohort, welcoming students from Windsor to Vancouver!

We’re now hosting group and private trainings across Canada and hope to teach you our unique approach, helping you elevate your wellness practice and support your clients for years to come!

With love and gratitude,
Cassandra + Thais
