Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this event for?
Our aim is to provide useful and holistic strategies that would help treat lipedema, lymphedema, and lymphatic/fat disorders.
As a result, you will gain the opportunity to learn about, begin, enhance, or expand your holistic and well-balanced lifestyle and positively impact your own healing or that of your patients..
If you know you have these disorders, or suspect you do, are a therapist, caregiver, healthcare provider, researcher, advocate, surgeon, doctor, or human with interset in lymphatic/fat disoders, this is for you.
Is this an in-person live event?
This is a virtual event. We previously hosted our conferences in-person, with a smaller group of attendees at a much higher cost. Due to current situations, we pivoted to make the conference available to you online, from the comfort of your own home, and at a much more affordable price.
We are able to have a global community event that brings participants from many countries. We hope you take this opportunity while it's available.
Will there be a way to connect with other attendees?
Yes! Our Facebook group is included in your registration. You will receive the link as soon as you register, and your request to join our Facebook group will be accepted within 24-48 hours.
