Bridging Ancient Wisdom with Modern Innovation

Who I Am?
I’m Desiree De Spong—lymphatic specialist, inventor, educator, and founder of Medella Health. Over two decades, I’ve worked with thousands of people, developed FDA-cleared Flowpresso technology, and dedicated my life to one mission: making lymphatic health understandable and accessible for everyone.
I don’t just teach lymphatics. I’ve lived it—from basement prototypes to international stages, from hands-on clinical work to groundbreaking research. My approach bridges Māori healing traditions (Te Whare Tapa Whā) with modern science, always leading with one non-negotiable principle: Drainage first, always.
Whether you’re discovering the lymphatic system for the first time or you’re a seasoned practitioner ready to deepen your expertise, you’re in the right place.
The Three Pillars of My Work
EDUCATION
Making the complex simple. I translate 20+ years of clinical expertise into practical, accessible knowledge that empowers you to take charge of your lymphatic health.
INNOVATION
From mad scientist in my basement to FDA-cleared technology in 500+ clinics worldwide, I create tools that make lymphatic therapy consistent, effective, and accessible.
INTEGRATION
Honoring ancient Māori wisdom while advancing modern science. The body heals when pathways are open and it feels safe—this truth transcends time and culture.
