Our definition*:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a treatment performed by stretching the skin using nickel weight pressure with the fingers in patterns of circular motion. This addresses the root cause of inflammation and congestion in the body by jump starting the lymph system into higher efficiency causing it to pick-up more excess fluid throughout the body, starting in the skin, thereby reducing the primary source of swelling (aka edema), fluid buildup itself.

The MLD Tool™ (previously known as The RMS) is a Resistive Measurement System that shows the pressure of the student's fingers on the skin as they apply MLD. It is a bio feed-back tool with your finger pressure represented as a wave on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod). Click here to check it out.
The MLD Tool™ is included in the cost of Hands-On Classes Complete Training Packages, along with the Science & Theory of MLD Online Course, most students will need to purchase the package if they've never taken a class from the School of MLD or Gay Lee Gulbrandson during her tenure as an Instructor at the Dr. Vodder School International.

6 day classes:

Some people will feel ready to use their MLD techniques right after class. I endorse this if I feel their hands are competent. I also encourage this, because it is the only way to train you hands to improve. 

Currently, classes are 8 students or less. This allows for maximum personal attention, sometimes with a Teacher in Training so we can give two people personal attention at once! Students cannot handle any more than that because they need to practice without input as well. We don't think you can get more personal attention anywhere else, except at one of our review classes or private or group mentoring/tutoring sessions.
