In LDT2, you'll review and hone existing skills plus learn valuable refinements and advanced drainage techniques for all surface areas of the body, along with numerous pathological conditions. You will learn the foundational principles of lymphedema care. At the end of the course, you should be able to drain the superficial lymphatic circulation over the entire body as well as the cisterna Chyli, the breast tissue, and perform Lympho-Fascia Release (LFR) on some viscera.

Just incredible Paula !! Truly amazing.
My patient said: <<I am 84 years old. When I sat up I was stunned to find that constant ache in my right shoulder was gone! I easily slipped off the table and while dressing I realized not only was that pain gone in my shoulder, I had more flexibility than I’ve had for several years in that nagging, painful shoulder. And in my lower back and hands!! I had one of those slight nagging sinus headaches that morning but that too was gone! It has been four days now since Thursday’s treatment, and when bending over to spread my bed or stretching to reach that second shelf in the kitchen cabinet, I have to chuckle over how challenging that was just days ago with my whopping 4’10” frame. I’m flabbergasted at how just one treatment of lymphatic drainage could bring me such relief! And the colors that I saw were so beautiful and vibrant. I felt so peaceful, relaxed and calm after the treatment and just didn’t want it to end. Simply amazing!!>>
Thanks again for all your support, advice and sharing your passion for the lymphatic system.
All the best,
