About The Insttructor
This workshop is taught by Kacper Szarejko, LMT, CLT, a massage therapist who actively uses Manual Lymphatic Drainage in real-world practice — not just in theory.
After beginning practice in 2019, Kacper encountered a client with lymphedema and quickly realized that his existing tools were not producing results. That experience led him to pursue advanced training and certification in lymphatic care. He became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) through a 135-hour lymphedema management program, which includes extensive training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Since then, he has successfully incorporated MLD into his practice and continues to see consistent, meaningful results with clients.
Kacper is an NCBTMB Approved Provider (No. 1001099) and teaches multiple massage therapy courses approved for continuing education. This workshop reflects both his clinical experience and his understanding of what massage therapists need to confidently and safely integrate MLD into their practice.
He is the owner of Revive Zone, a mobile massage practice based in St. Louis, specializing in Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Working directly with clients — including those with lymphedema and post–surgical needs — keeps his teaching grounded in practical application, safety, and real-world effectiveness.
Teaching Philosophy
Kacper’s teaching philosophy is simple: massage therapists learn best by doing. This workshop is intentionally hands-on, with guided practice throughout the weekend. You’ll spend time using your hands, refining techniques, and asking questions — so you leave feeling confident, capable, and ready to apply what you’ve learned immediately.
