Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Thank you so very much for this excellent knowledge. All of the materials were beyond my expectations; and I am looking forward to furthering my education and skills via your organization. P.S. Your Customer Service is the best!

B. Gardner, NCMT, ABMP

Awesome course, excellent information to help expand my practice with a nice break for my hands. I have already seen results!

S. Lilley, NCTMB, AMTA

The completeness of the course with the video & demo plus diagrams & the guide book was very impressive. Included here is all we need to learn this technique well & to keep studying the vast amount of information given. The gentle touch is a great relief for my hands. As I get near 70 yrs of age, this more gentle work is important to my continued success in doing massage therapy. Thank you for making this awesome course available.

This was the first home study course I have taken, and I was surprised how thorough and easy to understand the contents were.

M. Radcliffe, NCTMB, AMTA

Excellent course. A very worthwhile presentation that was professional and packed full of pertinent information.

B. Martin, NCTMB

I learned a lot and will read and study more. Very important course for a massage practitioner. I especially love all contraindications for LDM (not to harm clients)! I love instructor's technique on DVD - really talented professional!

Teresa Combs, LMT, NCTMB

I thought the course was well organized and convenient for the therapist who has a busy schedule. I was able to save time and money by not having to travel to a destination in order to take this course, and by not having to go away from family for an extended amount of time.

Kimberly Willis, LMT

Good and extensive questions. You really need to know your stuff to pass the test.

Fiorenza De Giorgio, LMP

Very interesting and has become a valuable technique that I have already intergrated into my practice. Am very interested in pursuing advanced training in the area after this thorough introduction.

This was a fantastic overview and education on lymphatic drainage. I didn't know anything and feel very confident now.

Sherrie Callahan, LMT, BCTMB

I was again reminded how fascinating our bodies are!

Cindy Stromstedt, BCTMB

Although I remembered a lot of this information from Massage school it was great to have a refresher! I was actually surprised at how easily it came back to me and so much of it I already use on a day to day basis!

Elizabeth Bentley, LMT, NCTMB

This was a great course

Jonathan Simmons, LMBT

As a deep tissue specialist, this has helped a great deal with understanding and integrating lighter touch when deeper is not called for. I have several people waiting for me to implement this into my practice, which I feel I can do confidently.

Tyna Boccarossa, LMT

Overall excellent course. No complaints

Sandra Yeager, LMT

Extremely enjoyed how it was presented in video and manual. test questions were appropriate.

I was pleasantly surprised by the superior quality of the LDM manuals and DVD. They were able to take a complex anatomical subject and make it into an easy to understand format. Very impressed!

Holly Luenemann, LMT, NCTMB

I have been wanting to learn about lymphatic drainage massage since I became a massage therapist. This course allowed me to do that in my own home at my own pace. And I can always continue to use the materials to brush up or to become better at my practice!

Elisha Logsdon, LMT

Book was very long but through. The DVD and manual were done very well and easy to follow.

Great learning product, thanks for making it so available!

Ivy Dreiman, LMT

The information was presented straight forward & easy to understand. I appreciated that! The only problem I had was staying awake watching the video. The instructors voice was to soothing. I was very glad the book had all of the info from the video. All in all it was a good course and I will definitely recommend the Institute to others and also purchase more courses at a later time.

Christine Mills, LMT

Concise and thorough.

Steve Pearson, LMT, NCTMB

Taking the test online was a much easier experience than I had expected. Not that the test was easy :), just the website and experience of it.

Jodi Lynn Wright, LMT, NCTMB

This course was presented in a clear and concise way. The DVD was extremely helpful and the materials were of excellent quality.

Maria Piekiel, LMT

I have used your courses several times. I always find them interesting and easy to follow. I enjoy the fact that I can do the required test - on my own time.

Donna Holmes, LMT

The dvd by Sean is so helpful. I will continue to use it until im comfortable performing the massage on my own. Very detailed course, I enjoyed it.

Michelle Perkins, LMT

The course material was very informative and challenging. I liked the fact that it was not so easy. I read the book and watched the dvd. I still had to review and do some research in the book while answering some of the test questions. I enjoyed this course and learned a lot.

Mary Jacobs, LMBT

This was a very easy and straight-forward course. Very easy to understand and I enjoyed it very much. I cant wait to order my next course and I will be more than happy to recommend this to any of my other friends that are Massage Therapists.

Melissa Murrill, LMT

So far, I've taken two courses from the Institute. As an NMT teacher of nearly 20 years, I'm impressed by the quality and content of the courses offered. My opinion is that an online course should entice the student to take a live class, and this course does exactly that. Thank you for an excellent product!

Nancy Ward, RMT, NCTMB

Very informative & well presented. Thank you for yet another excellent course! Highly recommended.

Tanya Dixon

Great course. Very informative, yet practical. It explains the anatomy and physiology very clearly but the application comes right after, so it is very complete.

Maria Sperber, LMT

This information will be useful in my practice. I have had many inquires for lymphatic massage over the years and very few practitioners have these skills mostly due to the cost of the classes.

Myriam Munson, CMT

I found the course to be very informative. Being a visual learner the DVD was very helpful.

Malgorzata Selbo, LMT

The Institute is a wonderful resource for CEU classes. I am already a repeat customer and will be back for more. I enjoyed this course- straight forward, clear, and fascinating content.

The course content was very well presented and informative. The entire course was interesting and raised my awareness of how to meet my client’s needs.

Kimberly S. Freeman, LMT

I will continue to study and use this in my practice and add to and save for reference material. Great information. Beautiful books. Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed this course. It was very interesting and I will be able to incorporate some of this into my business. I have been practicing since 1994 and this is one of the best courses I have taken. Thank you.

Donna C. Sutton, LMT

I really enjoyed taking the LDM course. The manual held my attention from beginning to end. After watching the video, I actually played it while practicing LDM on my husband.

Andrea Bennett

Wonderful! I will use this as reference material for many years to come.

Marcia H. Ferry, LMT

Great information, however, I would like to take a more in depth course to really feel comfortable performing LDM. Start slow and practice more frequently. Thank you for all the online courses you offer.

Anne Sanders, LMT

I have been interested in Lymphatic Drainage Massage for a long time. The DVD was very helpful. I will use it often to help me perfect my technique.

WOW that was intense but very informative. The manuals were clear and concise. The video helped with this kinesthetic learner.

This course was easy to follow and very interesting. I am really excited to be able to use this knowledge in my massage practice. I will take another course from this education site.

Maureen Parker, LMT

The coursework was much more thorough and detailed than I was expecting. This was a great refresher for material that I'd been introduced to years ago, but hadn't ever studied in depth. This course makes me want to pursue the subject matter more deeply with an actual hand-on class someday.

Tiffany Robeck, LMP

Really loved this course and very helpful.

Tiffany Holland, LMBT

Although I have been trained in another form of lymphatic drainage ,I found this course to be quite useful and compatible and a very thorough refresher for previous work...thanks again!
