WHY CHOOSE MLD CERTIFICATION?

MLD is a specialized technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, promote detoxification, and enhance the immune system.

This certification allows you to work with patients who are recovering from invasive cosmetic procedures such as tummy tucks, fat transfers, breast augmentation, and more. The world of post-op is unique and requires a practitioner who has plenty of empathy and patience. You’re helping decrease post-surgical swelling and monitoring wounds and sutures.

Specializing in MLD will set you apart from other massage therapists and expand your clientele base and income. For spa businesses, specialization is the key to increasing your prices.

It opens up opportunities for collaboration with healthcare professionals, like doctors, physical therapists, or oncologists, who then refer patients in need of lymphatic support. Not to mention, gaining expertise in a niche field brings a sense of professional fulfillment and allows you to make a significant impact on the well-being of your clients and their recovery.

 
"I absolutely loved taking this course. The instructor did a wonderful job explaining all aspects of post-op manual lymphatic drainage. I got exactly what I needed from taking this course and then some. I already have previous knowledge of the lymphatic system and how to use it in my practice so this was reaffirming what I knew before taking the course, and I learned new things that I'd wondered about but was not sure of. I really enjoyed the last 3 days and I look forward to using this technique in my practice."

"Ayana is an incredible instructor. She is knowledgeable and passionate about the material taught in the class, and I learned a lot from her. I'm very excited to start utilizing this knowledge in my own practice. I will absolutely use it and am changing the scope of my massage into doing post op work!"
