A name keeps surfacing when Brazilian lymphatic drainage and body sculpting are discussed: Rebecca Faria.
Faria is the Brazilian-born practitioner behind Detox by Rebecca® in Beverly Hills. Her approach to Brazilian lymphatic drainage has attracted significant beauty-industry attention and a high-profile clientele.
But there is also a direct connection between Rebecca Faria's work and Huntington Beach.
Agnes Grumslys, owner of Agnes Beauty & Wellness, trained in Brazilian Body Lymphatic Sculpting through Rebecca Faria's Detox program. Agnes has incorporated that training into her own hands-only 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt, with an emphasis on manual technique rather than machines or body-contouring devices.
This is the story behind Rebecca Faria's approach, why Agnes sought out her training, what Agnes learned from it, and how that training influences the body sculpting treatment she performs today in Huntington Beach.
Who Is Rebecca Faria?
Rebecca Faria is a Brazilian-born lymphatic drainage practitioner and body sculpting specialist based in Beverly Hills, California. She is the founder of Detox by Rebecca®, where Brazilian-inspired lymphatic drainage and body-contouring techniques form the foundation of her work.
Her official biography describes an education in aesthetics and cosmetology in Brazil, additional study in Oriental Medicine in Australia, and advanced education related to body aesthetics and integrative wellness.
Faria's work eventually attracted a high-profile clientele. Her official biography and published media profiles have associated her with clients including Jennifer Aniston, Hailey Bieber, Ariana Grande and members of the Kardashian family.
Her reputation grew substantially through referrals and word of mouth. In interviews, Faria has discussed the importance of client trust and discretion as her practice expanded.
From Brazil to Beverly Hills
Faria's story did not begin in a Beverly Hills wellness studio.
She has described growing up in Brazil and developing an early interest in bodywork and aesthetics. After moving to Los Angeles in 2018, she began building a client base before eventually establishing Detox by Rebecca in Beverly Hills.
That part of her story particularly resonated with Agnes.
"I love the fact that her reputation was built through the work itself and clients telling other clients. I understand that because that is very similar to how I built my own studio — one client at a time." — Agnes Grumslys
What Is Rebecca Faria's Brazilian Lymphatic Approach?
Brazilian lymphatic sculpting combines drainage-oriented manual movements with faster, more dynamic body-sculpting techniques.
Rather than treating body contouring and lymphatic-style massage as completely separate concepts, the Brazilian approach often combines rhythmic manual movements intended to encourage lymphatic flow with sculpting movements intended to enhance the appearance of the body's natural contours.
Rebecca Faria's broader Beverly Hills practice has also incorporated additional body-contouring modalities into certain treatments. However, it is important to distinguish Rebecca's broader practice from the treatment Agnes performs in Huntington Beach.
Agnes's 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt is completely hands-on. She does not use radiofrequency, ultrasound, wooden sculpting tools or vacuum devices as part of this treatment.
Why Agnes Trained in Rebecca Faria's Method
For Agnes, the attraction was not simply adding another service to a treatment menu. She wanted to become better at understanding the body through her hands.
"I was already offering different types of body contouring, but I wanted something completely different — something performed with my hands, without machines or tools standing between me and the client's body."
"I discovered Rebecca's technique about two years ago, and my original plan was actually to hire someone else to perform it. But I kept coming back to the same thought: if I'm going to offer this service, I should learn it myself first."
"I wanted to understand the technique, the body and exactly what my clients would be receiving so I could ensure the highest level of care."
That decision changed the direction of the service.
"Once I started offering it myself, clients told me directly, 'We don't want anyone else working on us.' So I never did end up hiring someone. I kept doing it myself, and I'm glad I did."
Why Hands-On Training Mattered to Agnes
One of the most important lessons Agnes took from her training was that manual bodywork involves much more than memorizing a sequence of movements.
"A proper technique cannot truly be learned from a video alone. There is so much precision involved — pressure, direction, rhythm, anatomy and understanding why each movement is performed."
"Hands-on training gave me the ability to actually feel the tissue and understand the technique in a way that watching a video simply cannot provide."
That philosophy now extends beyond body sculpting into Agnes's approach to facial massage and lymphatic treatments.
"I love techniques that use the hands instead of relying on machines because our hands can actually feel what the tissue needs. That is something a device cannot replicate."

How Rebecca Faria's Method Differs From Traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Traditional manual lymphatic drainage and Brazilian lymphatic sculpting should not simply be viewed as weaker and stronger versions of the same massage. They use different techniques and may be performed for different purposes.
Traditional manual lymphatic drainage generally uses gentle, highly specific movements intended to encourage lymphatic flow.
Brazilian-style lymphatic sculpting typically has a faster rhythm and combines drainage-oriented movements with aesthetic sculpting techniques. The experience can therefore feel quite different from a traditional gentle lymphatic drainage session.
More pressure does not automatically mean a better lymphatic treatment. Technique, direction, rhythm and appropriate pressure all matter.
How Rebecca Faria's Training Shows Up in Agnes's 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt
Agnes's 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt brings the manual principles she learned through her Brazilian lymphatic sculpting training into a treatment that reflects her own hands-on philosophy.
The treatment is performed manually and customized to the individual client.
Agnes uses rhythmic hands-on movements designed to encourage lymphatic flow and help address the appearance of temporary fluid retention, puffiness and bloating. Sculpting movements are incorporated to enhance the appearance of the body's natural contours.
There are no wooden sculpting tools, vacuum devices or radiofrequency treatments involved in Agnes's 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt.
What 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt Can — and Cannot — Do
360° Brazilian Body Sculpt is not a weight-loss treatment.
It does not destroy fat cells, remove fat or produce permanent weight loss. Instead, the treatment focuses on manual bodywork, lymphatic flow and temporary fluid retention. Reducing the appearance of puffiness or bloating can make natural body contours appear more defined.
Any short-term change on the scale following a lymphatic-style treatment would generally reflect changes in fluid rather than fat loss.
Results vary from person to person based on individual anatomy, fluid retention, lifestyle and treatment frequency. Some clients notice a visible difference after their first session, while others choose a series of treatments to build on their results.

Why Agnes Chose a Hands-Only Approach
Body sculpting is increasingly associated with machines, applicators and devices. Agnes intentionally took her 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt in the opposite direction.
Her goal is to use her hands to assess how the body and tissue feel during the session and adjust pressure, rhythm and technique accordingly.
That approach is consistent with the larger direction of Agnes Beauty & Wellness: advanced manual techniques, individualized treatments and practitioner-led care rather than relying primarily on equipment.
