Frank Ansel, CHMLDT, LMT
I am located in Tampa, FL and after spending 30 years in the accounting field, I became a Florida Licensed Massage Therapist (MA47419) in June 2006, after graduating from Suncoast II, School of Massage in Tampa. Since then I have received continuing education credits in CranioSacral Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, Reflexology, Myofascial Release, Energy Work, and Seated Massage Experience. Then, in December of 2005, I decided to focus on a modality and through training by Elisa DiFalco (MLD Institute) became a Certified Holistic Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist in December 2010.
America is becoming aware of the benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage and it’s many applications in the Spa World and well as the Medical Profession. Enhancing the Lymph System is enhancing the quality of life. In my experience I found that Doctors are aware of the benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage, however, they do not know where to look to find where the services are available. Russell and I have joined together to be that “where to” source.
Massage is a preventive care process. By keeping the body in-tune, it will provide you with efficient performance. Along with the other modalities I use (Swedish/Relaxation, Reflexology, Myofacial Release, CranioSacral Therapy) Manual Lymph Drainage creates the environment in which you body can relax, recover and repair.
