NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Petra Erving
When I started working with postop cosmetic plastic surgery patients, I had no clue what I was doing. Yes, I knew Manual Lymph Drainage and was confident treating people with lymphoedema and lipoedema. But, when it came to having someone who had just been through the trauma of a plastic surgery procedure I was scared and worried I might do them more harm than good.
Now I use my own personal struggle to help people just like you find confidence and success. Iâll show you how to safely and successfully treat post surgical patients, earn more, and have a fully booked calendar weeks in advance.

Brittany
Our industry is designed so that our integrity is in our own hands, this training is one that raises the bar for all of us. The depth at which these topics dig into is awesome. My CDT training covered a lot of this but I felt like we really blew by so much of it. Petra has a genuine interest in us as practitioners and to uplift the standards of the industry
Christophe
I was a complete beginner and totally new to working with postop patients. Since doing the training I have a better overall understanding of post-op care so I feel more confident with patients. The training is perfect for a lymphatic drainage massage therapist who wants to be able to expand their services and offer something more advanced. Do it, it's just amazing!
Misrak
I feel that the training really gave me a good understanding on what was happening for my post op patients. I can explain to them what is happening or what I am doing. Everything seems to fall in place for me, and all that I am doing makes sense. I am credible. It was what I was missing. This training covers a very wide range of subjects , and I have learned a lot.Â

Helen
I lacked confidence and felt I wasnât providing adequate bespoke treatment. I was anxious that I might not be helping the client to the standard I wanted. Petra always responded quickly to any questions I had and gave great feedback to any comments posted below each lesson. The content was easy to follow and I loved her drawings while talking! If youâre looking for a postop training, 100% do this one.
Sarah
I struggled with confidence with understanding plastic surgery procedures and felt unable to answer my patientâs questions as well as I wanted. My favourite part of the training was all the amazing demo videos and my biggest âAHAâ moment was learning about postop compression. If youâre hesitating about doing the training, donât. Just do it! Since doing the training, Iâve been inundated with patients!Â
Alex
Before doing this training, I felt totally inept. But by the end my confidence to know how to handle any issues relating to surgery really improved. The big AHA moment for me was learning that the watershed moves with a tummy tuck procedure! It is worth every penny. It is very straightforward and easy to navigate and I would recommend it to any MLD therapist working with postop patients.
