Learn, Relax, Certify, and get CEU's in Puerto Rico
Experience the perfect blend of professional development and relaxation in Puerto Rico. As a US territory, no passport or visa is required for US nationals, and English is widely spoken. We suggest you stay in Ocean Park, San Juan, where you can find nice, affordable Airbnb apartments within walking distance of a beautiful beach and Calle Loiza, a lively street known for its vibrant weekend nightlife, restaurants, cafes, food trucks, and local food 'cafeterias'. Puerto Rico is a tourist-friendly country where almost everybody in San Juan speaks English as a second language or can at least understand and make themselves understood.
Plan to arrive a day or two before the workshop or stay a little longer to explore one of the oldest and most charming walled cities in the Americas, beautifully conserved. Additionally, visit the only rainforest national park in the USA, enjoy plenty of beaches, and book a tour to the rainforest during the day, take a dip in the crystal clear mountain waters, and then have a kayak tour at night in the bioluminescent waters of Fajardo. Come on, it's just a jump!

About Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is well known for its benefits for breast cancer survivors, and post-surgical patients because of its detox capacities. What is less known is that it is an invaluable add-on to absolutely all the other therapies you do. That is because of the management of edemas... which includes chronic long-term inflammation.
​
Learn to recognize areas in the body that are overflowing with liquid, and how to deal with it, painlessly. You would be able to work cases where others can't and modify your touch, to where a more aggressive therapy would be counterindicated.

Dr. Bruno Chikly is a French physician, educated in La Sorbonne, who made the most detailed description and drawings of the lymphatic system of the whole body that is available so far. Including the body organs, and all its tissues. He took a long-held tradition of Medical Lymphatic work in France, to a complete new level, by incorporating all the discoveries of the Lymphatic System of the last years and enhancing the repertoire of techniques and applications.
