Norton School of Lymphatic TherapyReviews of nortonschool.com

I think the class taught me a lot about lymphedema and the treatment of lymphedema. I do think that having two instructors was positive and negative and I felt they weren't on the same page with the material that was taught. It became confusing to perform strokes for MLD differently between the two instructors along with the bandaging techniques. I also think they should include real life situations regarding patients post mastectomy who do have pain. When I got to the clinic to apply my new skills, I became confused with treatment on patients with pain and scars. Overall, I feel like the course was good and taught me a ton, however I feel as if the class could have been more organized between the two instructors and including more real like scenarios with patients who do have pain after their surgeries would have been more helpful.

Norton School- My time with the educators was very valuable. I learned skills that I am currently applying in my daily practice. I would highly recommend this certification course. One benefit from the class was the two instructors. one the first 1/2 and a different the second 1/2. While this was frustrating at first I can now see the reason for this and the benefit for my current practice. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that even though I took the class over a year ago I still feel the venue provided the best environment for this class.

The course, it's self, was excellent. The teachers were also excellent. When I had a problem in the field, I put out a call to one of my instructors. I didn't receive a call back or a text back for over a week. Then, it was just a reason as to why she didn't get back to me. And, said she would call me in a few days. That call never came. I actually quit the job where I was working as a lymphedema therapist. I needed to be talked down from the ledge, and no one was there. I spent a lot of time and money for nothing. I Regret ever taking the course

There was lacking in reviewing information for the LANA exam. I did not feel that the course made any effort to review information that would be included on the exam.

The class being 9 days straight was expected BUT the curriculum being taught by your instructors did not match the information given to us. We found ourselves having to take picture of slides and writing down almost full paragraphs because we could not find the information in our copy of the PowerPoints. The instructors were wonderful and the location was great. I just wish the organization of the material was better considering we spent $3000 for the course not including hotel and flights. This must be changed for future classes!

I learned what I came to learn.

Thank you to Julia, instructor in Urbana, Ill. Thoughtful explanations, examples and shared treatment ideas. I appreciated her style of instruction as well as her expertise. Thank you Julia for bring actual patients (lymphedema) for the class to observe and touch and learn.

The course itself was fantastic and exciting. I hope I will get to use these skills in my private massage practice! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the certificate that was provided to me did not address all of the information required for my LMT licensure and NCBTMB Board Certification renewal submission, and I had to get back in touch with the company for additional information. I would have been happier with a certificate that addressed both of my licenses. This of course is a minor issue.
