2024 TRAININGS
LYMPHATIC BREAST CARE & BREAST MASSAGE TRAINING
OCT 4-6 / 2024
( Fri - Sun )
LOCATION: Faber, VA
45 minutes outside Charlottesville, VA
ADD BREAST CARE & LYMPHATIC BREAST MASSAGE TO YOUR PRACTICE.
This work has changed my life, I believe firmly this is information that belongs to us all. From woman to woman we can carry the wisdom of healing to offer to our families, sisters and communities.
This work is for anyone who is interested in deepening their knowledge of lymphatic breast care and cancer prevention. You do not need to be a practicing or licensed professional to attend. This training is great for those who work in the womens health field as a practitioner, nurse, lactation consultant, doula, midwife or anyone who supports women.
After serving thousands of women, It is apparent that we as a culture and are lacking basic self care tools and knowledge to support properly caring for our breasts. We live in a society that sexualizes and objectifies our breasts, it is no surprise that woman after woman I work with has never even developed a relationship with her breasts. Within the medicalized industrial corporate structures that we have entrusted our lives too, countless women suffer un-necessary surgeries, biopsies, radiation and scare tactic care.
You can be the change! With proper education and training you can be the very shift a woman needs on her path to rebalance common breast imbalances.
AS THE DAUGHTER OF A MOTHER WHO HAD BREAST CANCER THIS IS THE TRAINING I WISH WE ALL HAD!!
Over our three days together we will look through the lens of the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and will uncover the truth around our lymph system, immunity and its impact on our breast health.
Ayurveda means the “Science of Life “ in this intimate workshop we will create a safe container to explore our tissue understanding our own unique balances and imbalances. I focus on educating and empowering you around your lymphatic system and its crucial role in supporting our immunity and breast health.
