About Mariana

Let me introduce myself ...

My name is Mariana da Silva, I was born in a town in Brazil called Campinas, in the São Paulo state.

My biggest passion is HEALTH.

My wellness journey and my connection with lymphatic drainage started back in Brazil when I was 15 years old. I never thought I would become a Massage Therapist one day. Everything started when I had to face anxiety and depression, and consequently weight gain, due to many family challenges growing up in an unstable home.

I didn’t let that go too far though. I was extremely curious to understand the connection between mind and body and I started seeking answers.

As time passed, I moved to another country, but lymphatic drainage was always with me.

During my 16 years living in Australia, I have trained as a Holistic Therapist and built my own business, as I continue my learning, bettering my knowledge and techniques.

15 years ago when I was learning lymphatic drainage there wasn’t much information available. Everything was very basic. But my intuition always told me: there is more to it! I wanted more answers.

And they came. In 2021, after becoming a certified Trainer and Assessor, I deepened my study, researching the connection between all the body systems. And then everything made sense!

Using all this knowledge, I have developed a new treatment that connects all the body systems, nutrition, exercise, supplementation and even genetics. A method based on a lot of scientific research and spirituality. A method that investigates the causes, not just treating the symptoms.

To heal the outside, one must go within.

Are you ready to heal?

Mariana was very warm and welcoming during our training. Very informative and hands on. Highly recommend!
