A note from Leah:

"On behalf of my clients, I thank you for taking this step. My clients have been asking, and wondering why there are not more people that can help with lymphatic care. This course was born out of the tears of one particular client, who endured an unsanitary treatment with an non certified person and now suffers from PTSD. I do not blame our traditional healthcare system, I do not blame the clients for their lack of knowledge. There is no time to blame, there is only time for a solution that needed to happen immediately. As a busy working mother, I could not feasibly conquer designing an in-depth course, however, the urgency for accuracy and accessibility in lymphatic care training gave me an unwavering energy to bring this course to the public.

From the bottom of my cisterna chyli, (a lymphatic reference joke), thank you for learning,

With Gratitude, Leah
