Muriel Lane, OT

“I don't think I have ever learned so much in such a short time. A tribute to your instructorial skill!”

Don Landis, PT

“The class gave me a solid foundation to build on in areas of anatomy of the lymphatic system in relation to the normal physiology and understanding the effects of the pathophysiology. This enabled me to educate physicians, insurance companies and patients. I have been able to obtain results with every patient that has undergone Manual Lymph Drainage.”

Joan Finley, OT

“The course was excellent. It provides a safe and comfortable environment for practicing Manual Lymph Drainage. The number of participants was limited so we each received equal attention. A lot of material crammed in a short period but very well organized. The instructor was great, knowledgeable and paced the course well.”
