Thais Alvs
Co-Founder, Co-Lead Instructor
Thais is a highly accomplished manual lymphatic drainage specialist who began her journey in lymphatics in 2018 in her home country of Brazil. Her training started with the renowned Renata França, where she mastered lymphatic drainage and sculpting techniques. She further expanded her expertise by completing certifications with Joana Medrado and Nany Mota, leaders in post-operative and fibrosis techniques. Thais also studied at Dr. Vodder’s International School of Manual Lymphatic Drainage and the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS) for advanced post-op care. Most recently, she has deepened her knowledge under the mentorship of Dr. Perry Nicholston through his Lymph Mojo training programs.
Thais believes in the transformative power of touch, emphasizing that hands do more than massage—they communicate with the body, understanding its needs and responding with care. Her work focuses on supporting the parasympathetic nervous system to manage stress and anxiety, enhance fertility and pregnancy, improve brain health, and promote body detoxification. Thais’s passion for teaching empowers her students to approach lymphatic drainage holistically, equipping them with the confidence to address their clients' health with compassion and precision.
