What made you want to start out doing Lymphatic Drainage?

I have been looking for a course specifically focusing on MLD for several years. Although there were courses available none of them offered anything extra to what I already knew from my years of practice, training and teaching in the industry. Until I saw Flavia’s training being promoted.
