Proudly introducing my very own curriculum...
Adaptive Lymphatic Drainage (ALD)™
Lymphatic Drainage is arguably the most in-demand, high value hands-on skill in the massage, beauty, and health care industries. Known for it's reputation of being light work for hands-on practitioners, while offering effective results for clients and patients, Lymphatic Drainage contributes to career longevity and success.
While demand for confident lymphatic practitioners is high, comprehensive curriculums the meet the needs of diverse populations are few and far between. The majority of Lymphatic Drainage curriculums offer a CDT training that addresses the clinical treatment of Lymphedema through traditional MLD techniques and use of compression wrapping and garments. The modern applications for Lymphatic Drainage are seemingly endless and those who can benefit from these gentle techniques goes far beyond those with Lymphedema.
This curriculum addresses the need for an adaptive approach to lymphatic therapy that considers classic and modern techniques with a wide variety of applications from hospital beds to massage tables.
Coursework ranges from offers one-on-one, group, and self study for an immersive experience that focuses on empowering practitioners with the skills and confidence to integrate Lymphatic Drainage successfully into their existing practice. Practitioners will learn how to build efficient rhythms for lymphatic self and client care, learn effective ways to educate clients and patients on Lymphatic Drainage, and practice hands-on techniques with live models who are experienced in receiving Lymphatic Drainage.
