Chikly Health Institute

Chikly Health Institute Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is an original hands-on method of lymphatic drainage developed by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO.

The Chikly Health Institute, an educational organization, teaches you how to connect with your patients in a deeper and more specific way through cutting-edge lymphatic drainage, brain and heart-centered therapy courses. Created out of his award-winning research on the lymphatic system, LDT takes traditional lymph drainage techniques and adds a level of precision consistent with recent scientific discoveries. LDT is the first modality to work with the specific rhythm of lymph (described by scientific experiments), the specific depth and direction of the lymph flow, in the skin, mucosa, muscles, viscera, bones or dura and pia membranes. From there practitioners can use their hands to perform Manual Lymphatic Mapping (MLM) of the vessels to assess overall circulation and determine the best alternate pathways for draining body-fluid stagnations. The result of these actions can include:

- Reduction in edemas (swelling) and lymphedemas of various origins

- Detoxification of the body

- Regeneration of tissue, including burns, wounds and wrinkles

- Anti-aging effects

- Relief of numerous chronic and subacute inflammations, including sinusitis, bronchitis and otitis

- Relief of chronic pain

- Reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia

- Antispastic actions to relieve conditions such as muscle hypertonus and some forms of constipation

- Deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress, loss of vitality and loss of memory

- Alleviation of adiposis and cellulite tissue

And many more…

Today we honor Molly Clark and her many years of exceptional teaching with the Chikly Institute. Molly’s dedication to her students and her mastery of the material have made her an invaluable part of our educational team.

Brain Awareness Week + AMND Spotlight
March 16–22

During Brain Awareness Week, we’re celebrating the incredible intelligence of the nervous system, its adaptability, its communication pathways, and the subtle rhythms that influence everything from development to emotional regulation.

This makes it the perfect time to highlight one of the most anticipated new courses of 2026:

Dr. Bruno Chikly brings his newest course Autism, Mitochondria & Nerve Drainage (AMND) to Loveland CO Sun. Mar 22 – Tue. Mar 24, 2026.

AMND explores the deep connections between:

the brain and neurodevelopment

mitochondrial function and cellular energy

nerve drainage pathways and overall regulation

This course has cutting‑edge insights and hands‑on techniques to support practitioners working with complex neurological presentations including those seen in autism and related conditions.

As we honor Brain Awareness Week, we’re reminded how essential it is to understand the brain not just as an organ, but as a dynamic, fluid, responsive system. AMND expands that understanding in powerful new way.

For those who’ve been waiting for Bruno’s newest course… this is it.
We’re all excited to welcome AMND

Welcoming the First Day of Spring from HCT‑2

Today, as the season turns and the world leans into renewal, we are gathered together in Loveland for Alaya’s Heart Centered Therapy 2 class held on the perfect day for new beginnings.

There’s something profoundly special about doing this work on the first day of spring. The room is filled with openness, courage, and the kind of gentle transformation that mirrors the season itself. As nature awakens, so do we softly releasing what’s old, making space for what’s new, and reconnecting with the heart in deeper ways.

We are truly grateful to be here together, learning, growing, and supporting one another on this meaningful day. What a gift to share this experience as the world around us blooms.

Here’s to renewal, connection, and the heart‑centered path ahead. 🌸💛
