Somatic Drainage
Colon Hydrotherapy - Manual Lymphatic Drainage - Fascial Mobility
Looking good is just a side effect!
Welcome to Be Well With Hope! I'm Cassandra Hope, a Somatic Drainage Specialist, Educator, and Functional Health Coach.
I specialize in recovering gut-brain health through Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Colon Hydrotherapy, and Genetic Testing.
If you're seeking relief from chronic gut and brain issues, you've come to the right place.
Through years of practice and research, I’ve discovered that proper drainage is essential for resolving chronic health problems.
What is drainage? Great question! Drainage refers to the body’s ability to move and filter fluids that contain toxins and pathogens. When left in the body, these can lead to chronic gut and immune issues, mental health issues, swelling, fatigue, and more.
Safe and effective drainage is the first step in any healing journey. It would be my honour to help you begin to feel better!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage enhances the flow of lymphatic fluid to promote overall well-being, even in individuals with impaired lymphatic systems (such as those recovering from surgery, cancer, or lymphedema). This massage involves a slow, gentle application of pressure designed to eliminate excess inflammation and toxins, thereby accelerating the body's natural healing process.
Colon Hydrotherapy
If you experience unexplained inflammation, anxiety, lower back pain, bloating, or acid reflux, consider colonics. Colon cleansing gently removes waste from the large intestine, aiding the body’s elimination process. A clogged colon hinders this process, affecting other elimination organs. A healthy colon, home to essential bacteria, is vital for nutrient absorption, reducing inflammation, lowering disease risk.
Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy aims to mobilize the ‘skin under the skin’. Your fascia is interconnected and weaves through bones, organs, nervous tissue and skin. It’s deeply connected to your nervous system and will create adhesions when under chronic stress, inhibiting fluids from properly draining. This treatment will help optimize detoxification, reduce pain and stiffness, and leave you feeling really good in your body.
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing offers data that can be very helpful in navigating illness and detoxification. Ideal for those who aren’t sure what has led them to feel so unwell and want pertinent strategies. Using genetics, blood work and symptomatology we can streamline your protocols for optimal outcomes. Receive guidance in the areas of gut + brain health, detoxification, nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and supplementation.
Questions About Your Treatments?
-
Eat something light 2-3 hours before your treatment. Be sure to drink at least 1 litre of purified water beforehand. Try to keep stress at bay.
-
You might feel you need a little extra TLC after your lymphatic massage. This is due to the amount of detoxification happening. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, rest and nap as needed, try to keep stress minimal.
Although it isn't the rule, it can be common to feel a bit lethargic for 3-5 days post-treatment.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a massage that yields incredible therapeutic results. Its ability to drain unwanted pathogens, toxins and inflammation is notable. MLD doesn't only transport toxins from the body, it also delivers key hormones, nutrients and genes to your body.
It is also incredibly effective at activating the parasympathetic branch of our nervous system, allowing for better sleep, digestion, repair, mood, thought processing and genetic expression.
-
3 to 5 days beforehand increase your fibre and water intake, and consume lighter foods.
Reduce your consumption of heavy proteins such as red meat and pork. Cut down on sugar, avoid baked goods, and stay away from deep-fried foods. Releasing can be more challenging if your upper digestive tract is full.
-
The procedure is completely painless and I will support you throughout the entire session, addressing any questions and overseeing the treatment. I also guide those who are open to it through meditation and breath work to help calm and soothe your nervous system.

Your fascia is your connective tissue. It is interconnected and weaves through your tissues, bones, organs and nerves. When fascia becomes restricted due to chronic stressors it can create adhesions. These adhesions inhibit the flow of fluids which transport toxins out of your body. By mobilizing your fascia we open the highway for better drainage.

Why Drain?
Lifestyle Toxicity & Your Symptoms
Since the industrial revolution, thousands of untested chemicals have entered our environment. Our bodies haven’t evolved to manage this level of toxicity. Coupled with spending most of our time in a “fight or flight” state—which hinders our ability to neutralize toxins—this places a significant burden on our detox organs.
Accumulated toxins stored in tissues can lead to a range of symptoms, from weight gain/retention, brain fog, irritability, depression, and anxiety to fatigue, IBS, food intolerances, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and hormone imbalances.
Your lifestyle plays a role in this, including the food you eat, the air you breathe, the water you drink, your home and office environment, the clothes you wear, and, importantly, your genetics.
This is why I offer personalized genomics testing. While your genetic detox capacity remains constant, your lifestyle affects how those genes are expressed (epigenetics). By managing your stress response, making strategic daily choices, and supporting safe detox through colon hydrotherapy and manual lymphatic drainage, we can help your body recover naturally, and symptoms begin to fade.
At Longév Clinic, my team and I are here to support your recovery journey with comprehensive health support including Naturopathic Medicine, IV therapy, Osteopathy, and Acupuncture. We stay in communication, referencing blood labs, MRIs, functional labs, and your personal/familial health history to ensure you receive the best support.
