Please use a computer and stable/hard-wired internet connection to virtually attend. Please do NOT use any cellular, weak/spotty WIFI connections, outdated/broken computers or lesser devices such a CELL PHONE. There is no student device/connection tech support available. We have had hundreds of students attend our webinars with impossible tech issues beyond our control. As such, we no longer stop class for a student's tech issues. Any student experiencing tech issues is required to fix them on their own, without disrupting class.

For live interactive board compliance CE training, we require students to check-in and interact with the instructor on a minimum hourly basis via the webinar chat box, polls and/or other interactive requests. Students who do not have solid computer experience or an appropriate computer device/connection should attend a live in-person class instead. Our webinars require basic computer skills, equipment and a solid internet connection to login, attend and interact. Any student who ignores instructions, displays disrespectful/inappropriate conduct or repeatedly/inappropriately disrupts class for any reason, including personal tech issues, will be dismissed. Please respect that webinars are group training sessions that cannot be monopolized by one student.

Self-reporting your own CE hours is required when the licensed name does not match the student's registered name for ANY reason.

Here's some more information about attending our live webinars:

• Quality Student Files & Access: We email login info to your webinar approximately 2-weeks prior to the start of training. Our written hands-on procedures and modality workbooks are available to download/save when you login to the webinar account.  We provide a wonderful amount of written student support materials to supplement your live webinar. You can view, download or print these student files/materials before or during the webinar. Access to these student files EXPIRES, and is no longer available at the end of webinar training, so it is imperative to download, save and secure these files in a safe place before or during class!

• Live Question & Answer with Your Instructor:  You can ask questions of the instructor during the webinar in the chat box. Because this is a group training, any individual questions/comments will be addressed with the entire class listening. Verbally chatting out loud with instructors or amongst students is not available. The instructor is usually the only attendee with an active microphone.  

• Practice Along with Your Instructor:  When possible, we provide students the opportunity to practice hands-on techniques on themselves and/or on a healthy live model, while simultaneously watching instructor demonstrations. Your instructor can view and provide some feedback of hands-on techniques when your camera is focussed within 4 feet of the hands-on application. We will email when live model practice times might be available, a couple weeks prior to the start of training. Please do not practice on pregnant women, ill or medically deteriorated/complicated models during training. 

• Know the Limits of Online Training: Visually inspecting/directing hands-on practice via any computer-based training is not precise, and less effective than in-person training. We are unable to obtain model feedback during webinars, and cannot determine a student's pressure or other hands-on practice skills.  As such, CE Institute LLC is not responsible for injury or harm from hands-on practice or training. Students must always practice within their licensed scope, and ensure it is safe and comfortable for the model/client. Students should follow up with in-person training or individual tutoring with a qualified instructor to verify their hands-on practice is appropriate when learning hands-on applications.   

• Webinars Run Simultaneously with In-person Class. Most of our live webinars are broadcast from live in-person training, so it's almost like being in class with other in-person students. While webinar attendance does not count for in-person training with most states or boards, attendees can benefit from hearing questions and answers from a greater student body with simultaneous broadcast. 

• Student Expectations: We are a top provider and well-versed with in-person and online bodywork CE training; however, perfection is difficult and unforeseen issues can arise. We always try our best for our students. Please provide the respect and patience we need to do the best possible job for you!

• Requirements & Voluntary Quizzes: We run quizzes with answers within our webinar software to review training. These quizzes are optional, fun, interactive exercises that do not count towards certification or CE hours. Your only requirement is to watch 100% of your webinar and interact with the instructor when requested, to receive CE hours and a certificate. Hands-on practice is not required. Your CE certificate will be emailed within a few days of your webinar's conclusion.

Here is CE Institute LLC MLD Instructor Selena Belisle's latest Lymphatic Drainage article published in MASSAGE MAGAZINE!

__________________

This lymphatic drainage class was written and is taught by CE Institute LLC Founder, Selena Belisle.  Selena initially studied Vodder-style Lymphatic Drainage in 1995 at the Massage Institute of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts - – the same city where other schools such as MIT and Harvard University are located.

Selena has attended and studied in numerous lymphatic online and live classes (including initial lymphatic re-mapping research and studies in 2003).  She found her studies of lymphatic drainage to be “frustrating”, given the amount of conflicting and misinformation amongst instructors.  As such, Selena spent hundreds of additional hours sorting through research and published studies to create this evidence-based course where the efficacy of our teachings are 100% backed by scientific data.  You can view a more complete list of Selena’s accolades including her publications, training and experience by clicking HERE.

In addition to practicing lymphatic drainage for 25 years, Selena managed/owned an alternative health care practice for 10 years that serviced thousands, and employed over 40 massage therapists, 4 chiropractors and 4 acupuncturists in Quincy & Braintree, Massachusetts, until she sold in 2005.  Lymphatic Drainage was one of the many modalities offered in this large group practice.  The lymphatic drainage appointments that were practiced for over a decade at Selena's health clinic provided much relief for her clients, and was a wonderful healing alternative for customers who were contraindicated for regular massage. 

Selena is a also a retired professional athlete with 3 WAF World Championships.  She has competed in places like the Athens Olympic Stadium and has worked on scores other athletes, including a player from every single team in the NFL (and accolade not many have accomplished). She also earned a 2017 Award from Dana Farber & the Jimmy Fund for: “in recognition of extraordinary support of research and patient care at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, leading to breakthroughs against cancer”. She has worked as a volunteer at the Miami Cancer Institute in the infusion wings, and has spent decades working to help cancer and lymphedema patients.

Selena’s long history, experience, studies, practice and instruction of manual lymphatic drainage makes her one of the foremost leading instructors of the modality today.
