Instructor: Rachel Perry Gilbertson, LMT, is excited to share her own style of gentle hands-on techniques that increase lymph flow, improve overall health, and impact conditions as varied as lymphedema, strains, sprains and venous insufficiency.  Since her initial medical massage training at Blue Sky School of Professional Massage in 1997, she has studied and explored the lymphatic system, becoming more fascinated as her knowledge deepens.   She is a Wisconsin LMT and Nationally Certified Medical Massage Therapist, specializing as a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist. In 2003, she opened Healing Haven Spa LLC in Edgerton, WI.  Rachel retired from client services in 2023, after 25 years, to pursue teaching continuing education full time. She has been providing shadowing opportunity for students in a professional environment, as well as mentoring students and providing feedback on technique and professionalism. Rachel loves sharing knowledge about wellness with her clients and other professionals, and she offers this course as a gateway to a long-lasting and fulfilling massage career.
