Nurturing mothers as they successfully feed their babies is a highly rewarding practice that supports families in our communities at a profound level. Breast massage and manual expression of breast milk is highly effective in increasing milk production, as evidenced by the many cultures throughout the world that include this work as standard of care on maternity wards. The simplicity of the work allows bodyworkers to easily and confidently incorporate breast massage into their current practices, while adding an appealing and beneficial service to increase clientele.

This class was created as a way for therapists to learn how to offer breast health education, as well as provide a quality chest and breast massage to healthy breast tissue. Techniques can be applied to all genders and the class is open to students of all genders. In particular, the regulations for providing breast massage in WA State will be reviewed.

The first morning will be a lecture focusing on ethics (credit for 2 hours of ethics will be given), regulations and communication. In the afternoon we will review anatomy, breast self-massage and start trades with proper draping and a basic chest and breast massage protocol that can be included as part of any full-body massage.

Day 2 will focus on furthering our breast massage protocol for particular client populations, as well as lymphatic massage. We will also discuss relevant marketing and office consent policies to support breast massage in your practice.

Throughout my years of studying the mammary glands, I have become acquainted with its many personalities. This class will focus on the nurturing aspect of the breast - breast feeding. We will learn breast self-care practices that practitioners can use, or teach parents to prepare themselves as the mammary glands are expanding during pregnancy. From here develops a breast massage system we can easily meld into any pre-natal massage treatment we are already familiar with.
