Is your body holding onto stress, inflammation, and fatigue? You might be ignoring your lymphatic system, the body's most underrated network for health and recovery.

In this episode, Jacqui O'Connor talks to Desiree De Spong, a lymphatic therapy educator and the innovator behind Flowpresso. After a 20-year clinical career helping patients with chronic illness, Desiree developed a groundbreaking technology to support deep physiological balance.

We dive into how the lymphatic system impacts everything from your immune health to your nervous system, and Desiree shares her incredible journey from a career in finance to becoming a global leader in health technology. You'll learn about the profound results she's seen, including a 91% improvement in sleep in a recent study with first responders.

Today on the Heart Place Hospital podcast, we’re honoured to welcome Desiree De Spong — Founder and CEO of Medella Health, international lymphatic therapy educator, and innovator. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, Desiree is a global leader in understanding the lymphatic system’s role in chronic illness, immune health, and autonomic regulation. She’s the creator of Lymph Node Release Therapy and a pioneer behind Flowpresso®. In this conversation, we explore autonomic dysregulation, lymphatics, and Flowpresso — including how Heart Place Hospital’s digital ecosystem connects people with aligned service providers around Aotearoa who are trained Flowpresso practitioners, expanding access to nervous-system-informed, lymphatic care.
