The FLORA Detox Method™

The FLORA Detox Method is our signature approach to lymphatic therapy. It combines manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) or Brazilian lymphatic drainage (BLD) with fascia release, guided breathwork, reflexology, and acupressure. Each treatment is tailored to support recovery, restoration, and radiance.

In physiology, “detoxification” describes the ongoing clearance of metabolic waste, inflammatory by-products, and interstitial fluid through systems such as the lymphatic, glymphatic, and gastrointestinal pathways.

The FLORA Detox name reflects our focus on supporting the movement and regulation of these natural processes, particularly through the lymphatic and fascial networks.

Our treatments do not replace the body’s detoxification systems; they work with them by promoting fluid mobility, reducing stagnation, and supporting conditions that optimize natural clearance.

In this context, “detox” reflects the mechanisms and outcomes associated with improved lymphatic flow.

The lymphatic system is your body’s natural detoxification and fluid-regulation network. It helps move immune cells, proteins, and waste products through a delicate system of vessels and lymph nodes. Because it has no internal pump, the system relies on breath, movement, and manual stimulation to keep fluid flowing.

Lymphatic therapy uses gentle, rhythmic, and directional techniques to:
• Encourage lymph flow and reduce excess fluid
• Support the immune system
• Calm the nervous system and shift the body into “rest and digest”
• Reduce inflammation and swelling (especially post-surgery)
• Improve circulation in the skin and fascia
• Support the glymphatic system — the brain’s waste-clearance pathway

These effects are supported by research in lymphology, immunology, neuroscience, and post-surgical healing.

Lymphatic therapy helps reduce swelling, fluid retention, and inflammation, while supporting detoxification, digestion, immune health, and stress relief. Many clients notice immediate results such as feeling lighter, less puffy, more relaxed, and more energized.

Lymphatic therapy can benefit anyone looking to support their health, beauty, or recovery. It is often sought by clients experiencing chronic stress or fatigue, digestive issues, post-surgical swelling, pregnancy-related changes, or those simply wanting to enhance their natural glow.

Lymphatic drainage is not recommended if you have certain conditions such as acute infections, untreated cancer, blood clots, or uncontrolled heart/kidney issues. A brief intake form is completed before every session, and we may request medical clearance if needed.

Treatments are deeply relaxing. You’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table while gentle or deep (dependent on reason for treatment), rhythmic movements are applied to stimulate lymphatic flow.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and arrive well-hydrated. Avoid heavy meals or alcohol beforehand. After your session, continue to hydrate to support your body’s natural detox process. You will receive specific before/after care recommendations upon booking.

The number of sessions depends on your goals. Some clients book a single session before a special event, while others benefit from a series to support recovery, chronic conditions, or long-term wellness. We’ll discuss a personalized plan during your visit.

Yes, with appropriate modifications. We offer tailored treatments for pre/post-natal clients and post-surgical recovery. In these cases, medical clearance may be required to ensure your safety.

Yes — you can book individual treatments or purchase packages if you’d like ongoing support. Packages may offer cost savings and are ideal for clients with longer-term wellness or recovery goals.

Receipts are available, but coverage depends on your health benefits plan. Some insurance providers may cover lymphatic drainage under extended wellness benefits. Please check with your insurer directly.

We are located in Cobden, Ontario, in a serene and private treatment space designed to support relaxation and healing. Directions will be provided in your booking confirmation.
