Why do we want to learn holistic breast care?
Because the breasts’ long term wellbeing may depend on it!
We know what we are supposed to ‘do’ for breast ‘health’: get them scanned. But. When were you taught what to actually do to cultivate wellbeing in your breasts other than just monitoring them? What are the action steps you could take?
(Is that crickets I hear?)
Like most people I wasn’t taught – especially by the time I was in my 20’s – scared and alone and dealing with finding breast lumps. So I started learning, gathering skills, and asking lots of questions to discover more. Turns out, there’s a lot we can do. And all that learning can be empowering.
As a licensed massage therapist specializing in women’s care for 25 years, and who is certified in clinical breast massage and manual lymph drainage, I can show you hands on skills and lifestyle shifts you can go home and use right away.
About the class:
Yes, it’s about 3 hours (in the shorter version). No, you will likely not be bored. This is an action packed, info dense, completely accessible and useful course in how to approach practical holistic breast wellbeing with your own two hands and choices. The best time to start helping yourself is now.
This is not a formal sit down, stay quiet, and get-stuck-in-your-head kinda class! I don’t learn well that way, so I don’t educate that way. Instead, we will be interacting, exploring concepts, moving a bit, looking at kinesthetic and visual aids, taking notes, and experiencing. It’s interactive and the time flies quickly.
Who is this class for?
Women of all ages and breast health histories who want to learn more about how to cultivate healthy breasts. Teens attend class for free!
Have you experienced a surgical history on your breast?
You may need an adaptation to the self breast massage we will learn in class and the workshop.
I can offer you suggested adaptations based on my experience and certification in manual lymph drainage massage and clinical breast massage training with double breast cancer survivor Sally Spurgeon, LMT. Please contact me to briefly review your breast situation *prior* to class by phone, once you have signed up. I will have limited spots available to offer this in person.

************************************************************************************************************************** As part of the effort to help women build community and resources locally, I have been networking with local herbalists to provide samples of their breast massage oils for you to experience in class so you know where you can easily access what you need after class. I’ve also been networking to find local holistic practitioners that have an affinity for supporting women in their holistic breast health journies… If you are such a practitioner or know someone who is, please let me know.
There may be some adjunct self care resources available for sale, such as organic handcrafted soap, topical flower essence blends for women’s unique challenges, local herbal products, and more, depending on class location.
**************************************************************************************************************************
As part of this class, we will be learning how to do a lymph loving self breast massage as one part of the class.
For this, we will stay fully clothed and just go under our shirt, so don’t dress up! Wear a dark colored, loose, old teeshirt that you don’t care about getting oil on. If you need to wear a bra, that’s fine, just bring one that you can easily loosen to reach underneath. And know it might get oily.
What to Bring to class:
– a notebook and pen to take notes (you’ll want to remember what is mentioned – we will cover a lot!)
– your curiosity and wonder to learn more about your breasts and self care!
– willingness to learn different and new things ❤
