2-Day Lymphatic Drainage Massage Practitioner Diploma Course

Our two day Lymphatic Drainage Massage course focuses on the use of the therapy for beauty and wellbeing. You can do Day One only to offer LDM Facials or BOTH days to offer Facial and Full Body LDM.

In order to do either of our Lymphatic Drainage Massage Courses you need to have completed a full body massage course to level 3 or equivalent which included Anatomy & Physiology.  Our own Holistic Massage, Aromatherapy, and Ayurveda Massage courses are all suitable for this purpose. 

Our Lymphatic Drainage courses introduce the massage to holistic therapists and combine theory with routines and techniques to use in a therapy practice or the salon. 

Many of our holistic therapy clients have surgery, suffer car accidents, are inactive because of their lifestyles, experience a lot of stress, stand a lot in their jobs or need help with reducing swelling for a variety of other reasons. The majority of clients have subclinical oedema or swelling which responds well to Lymphatic Drainage Massage, and the therapy brings huge well being and beauty benefits. 

We offer two days of training. You can take Day One as a stand -alone course, but if you want to do LDM for the full body you need to do BOTH days.
