> Can I meet you in order to determine if you are qualified to teach me?
No, if after reading my posts you are not convinced that what i offer has value, you should take lessons with another teacher.
>I have been paying X dollars per lesson with X teacher, do you offer some specials?
I value my time enough, I hope you do too.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy(LDT), also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage(MLD), is a form of massage therapy specifically targeting the lymphatic system to correct imbalances and promote optimal function. The technique involves light pressure explicitly applied in the direction of the lymph flow to stimulate increased lymphatic fluid movement throughout the whole body, specifically in dysfunctional areas.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is known for its ability to help move stagnant fluids from the body.
There are many causes of body fluid stagnation, both chronic and temporary, which Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can treat. The most common of these are post-surgical swelling and chronic Lymphedema. Still, while treating edema and fluid stagnation may be the most commonly known benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, there are many other benefits to LDT. These include assistance in detoxing and regenerating tissues compromised by burns, injuries and surgery; stimulation of the immune system; treatment of chronic inflammations such as sinus and bronchitis; help with symptoms of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and chronic pain; and the promotion of deep relaxation for the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, and stress.
Most post-surgical clients can expect a massage once a week for 3-4 weeks and then every two weeks for another four weeks. If everything is healing as it should be eight weeks post-op, you should be finished with your treatments.
The goal is always to spread the appointments further apart while still progressing in treating your condition.
If you need any additional information, please get in touch with me and make an appointment.

“Thanks to attending the language school “CCNations, Escuela de Idiomas” I was able to pass the Ecuador citizenship written and interview exams, and will soon become a naturalized citizen. With their homework materials and instructional classes, my level of Spanish increased to where I could study, learn, and pass these essential subjects: the history of the tri-color Flag (“la bandera”); the Coat-of-Arms Shield (“el escudo”); the National Anthem (“himno nacional”); the important battles, persons and events for gaining Independence; and the primary Presidents of Ecuador.
This is one of the top language schools I have ever attended!”
Bartley
“My success in passing the test on my first attempt was primarily due to CCNations, their time, efforts and patience in guiding me towards success. I really couldn’t have done so well without them. For this reason, I highly recommend this school to anyone who needs help with Spanish in any capacity.”

Recently it has been verified that many have lost the opportunity to be regular in Ecuador due to bad information received by some facilitators.
The Visa process is a legal issue that must be carefully handled and processed and strictly adhered to the law.

Did you know that the lymphatic system helps your body eliminate toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials?
Usually, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell.
Lymphatic drainage massage aims to increase your lymphatic system flow, flush toxins from your body, promote relaxation and reduce swelling.
Conditions that benefit from a massage are:
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Fibromyalgia

We are happy to be able to share with you in some way during these Christmas seasons, and in our social enterprise D’Ellas Second Hand to help mothers in vulnerable situations, we are creating Christmas decorations for those who want, such as:
Sitting and standing dolls that measure from 30cm onwards, with a concrete base that helps with their stabilization, they can be customized to your liking with the colors you want. And that’s not all, you can also make other faces apart from Christmas ones (Example: clowns and more)
Below we leave you a recommendation from our beloved Marilyn Cochran.
What a great surprise! Last week, D’Ellas posted an article about their line of handcrafted Christmas ‘statues’. D’Ellas is a Cuenca Ladies organization, striving to make a living to support their families by cleaning houses, running a thrift store, and now, offering darling Christmas decor to enhance your Holidays.
I ordered one just to support these fine ladies but I received a real treat. This little guy is over 28 inches tall, has a sweet smile, elfish ears, and a darling costume He’s even holding a present he must have just made in Santa’s workshop…¨
We are located in Cuenca
