Bill Mueller, Founder of Mueller College of Holistic Studies:
"I have wanted a book like this for years. Ramona has written a book that includes and goes beyond the usual mechanical justification of the techniques that are traditionally used in lymph massage and has applied them to the person as a whole. By writing about the various levels of the person that are addressed as well as the possible responses to the approach, she implies that lymph massage may even be used for other reasons than lymph drainage per se and introduces the concept that the gentle approach of lymph massage may be applicable where there is no edema. Additionally, she writes in a concise way about emotional release and the healing crisis that can result from this type of massage and the appropriate responses of the therapist. This knowledge is a must for all therapists especially for those who hold themselves to be 'holistic'."
