Pilates Course 4: Intermediate Pilates for Strength, Flexibility & Core Stability

It is with the deepest love and gratitude that I write this testimonial for Michelle Richardson — an extraordinary lymphology therapist who has not only transformed my practice but also changed my life. She is also my friend and someone I look up to. Her wealth of knowledge knows no bounds. She is always on hand to answer any questions I have with love and grace. Even though she is busy (obviously) she always goes out of her way to give me the time when needed on a professional and a personal one.

As a trained, highly skilled, and dedicated colon hydrotherapist, I have always been passionate about helping others restore and maintain their digestive health. However, it wasn’t until I attended Michelle’s 3-day Introduction to Lymphatic Drainage course that I truly understood the missing piece in the puzzle: the lymphatic system. What she shared over three magical days opened my eyes to the critical role lymphatic health plays in helping to clear the bowels and supporting long-term healing. Both systems work in complete synergy as they are the biggest elimination pathways to the body Since integrating Michelle’s approach into my clinic, the results I’ve seen in my clients have been nothing short of phenomenal.

But beyond the professional impact, Michelle’s work has been deeply personal for me. I first went to her for Wolfe non-surgical treatment on scar tissue from a previous caesarean section, not fully realizing the extent to which that scar was affecting my overall health. What Michelle did for me was nothing short of miraculous. Through her compassionate, intuitive, and expert care, she has completely transformed my health and given me back a vitality I didn’t realize I had lost.

Michelle, thank you for your wisdom, your healing hands, and your heart. You are a gift to this world, and I am forever grateful to you — both as a therapist and as a human being. It is truly your time to shine and share all your knowledge with the world.

Now everybody please book in and start your introduction by doing Michelle’s 3-day course, you won’t regret it!!!!!! It is the simplest way of elevating your health. You will walk away healthier and empowered to be able to elevate your health in the simplest way possible.

Go get em michelle. You are a blessing to all who cross your path. Enjoy your special day lots and lots of love

Why I Joined:
When I heard that this program was going to be offered I didn’t hesitate. I am passionate about improving health and wanted to further explore the hidden causes behind fluid retention and inflammation and further educate myself.

What I Gained & Learned:
I learned and enhanced my practical lymphatic drainage techniques and adopted daily habits that genuinely support the body's natural healing. Even though the course is fully online, it felt incredibly interactive. The weekly live sessions were fantastic, and having access to the recordings let me learn at my own pace.

Best of all, we had total access to Michelle outside of class time to ask personal questions and get her expert guidance whenever we needed a bit of extra support.

How It Helped & Where I Am Now:
Personally, right now in my journey, I am successfully using these techniques and daily habits with my clients. My passion is infectious when it comes to educating my clients on how their body can heal and where I am an instrument or tool to assist them on that journey.

Nothing makes me feel so happy when a client comes out of a session and feels unbelievably light and relaxed. Now the body has a chance to reset and begin the healing process it requires.

My Recommendation:
I absolutely recommend this program to anyone interested in health and wellness. Michelle’s massive clinical experience shines through every module, and the supportive environment she creates gives you the confidence to change not only your health but your clients for the better.

Her passion shines through this course. It could easily have been 4 hours and the time would have flown by.

In 2025, my daughter and I completed Michelle Richardson's three-day Lymphatic Drainage Training Course, and it was one of the best investments we've ever made.

The knowledge, education, and hands-on training we received wereexceptional. Michelle has an incredible way of explaining how the body works and how we can support its natural healing processes. I left the course with a completely different understanding of health and the confidence to apply what I had learned.

Michelle is an outstanding educator. She is positive, compassionate, and genuinely cares about every person who walks through her door. Her passion for helping others shines through in everything she does.

I have also experienced many lymphatic drainage sessions with Michelle personally, and every time I leave feeling lighter, healthier, and so much better than when I arrived. Her care, experience, and gentle approach make every treatment a wonderful experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to improve their health or learn the incredible benefits of the lymphatic system. Her knowledge, professionalism, and caring nature truly make her one of a kind.

Out of curiosity, and after hearing several practitioners I knew rave about Michelle Richardson’s training through Lymphology Australia, I decided to enrol in her lymphatic system course. I went in with a few preconceived ideas about the lymphatic system, but the course far exceeded my expectations. It completely changed my understanding of how vital the lymphatic system is to overall health and recovery. That experience sparked a passion to continue learning. I went on to study with Professor Karl West, completing his certification to become a lymphologist. Since then, I have continued my professional development with other respected lymphology educators to deepen my understanding of the lymphatic system and how best to support people with a wide range of conditions. Today, I work from my own private treatment room, where I educate and help both men and women with “issues in their tissues.” I support clients recovering from surgery, cancer treatment, lymph node removal, lymphoedema, lipoedema, chronic swelling, scar tissue, inflammation, and other conditions where improving lymphatic function can play an important role in recovery and wellbeing. My passion is empowering people with knowledge while providing personalised treatments that support the body’s natural healing processes and help them feel their best.

I was initially drawn to the Lymphatic Drainage Massage course because of my wife’s interest, but I quickly discovered my own passion for it.

The 3-day course was thoroughly enjoyable and eye-opening. Not only did I gain valuable skills, but I also found myself eager to support my wife in setting up her business.

The course, which was run by Michelle Richardson, exceeded my expectations, and I’m grateful for the knowledge and experience gained.

I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Lymphatic Drainage Massage.

In the early days of my work in Lymphology, I was invited to give a talk in Albury, country Victoria, Australia. As I stood before the audience, one person stood out—Sharon. A dedicated schoolteacher for most of her life, Sharon had always cared deeply for others, but the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic had ignited a desire within her to make an even greater impact. She was searching for a new direction, a way to truly transform lives.

After the talk, Sharon approached me with an idea. She proposed hosting a weekend workshop in Albury, eager to dive deeper into the world of Lymphatics and explore how it could change the course of her life and the lives of others. This marked the beginning of Sharon’s remarkable journey—a journey of learning, growth, and profound transformation.
