💗 Breast Care Massage & What It’s All About 💗

Our breasts are made up of glands, fat, connective tissue & lymph pathways. For many women, this area can feel dense, tight, or tender at times.

✨ A gentle breast care massage can help:
💧 Support healthy lymphatic flow
🌹 Soften dense or fibrous tissue
💆‍♀️ Ease chest, neck & shoulder tension
💖 Improve circulation & comfort
🫶 Build awareness of your own body

This isn’t deep or invasive work; it’s slow, mindful, and always guided by your comfort. Draping and privacy are respected at every step.

Breast care massage can help ease breast feeding struggles, hormonal tenderness, postural tightness, or that heavy, congested feeling we often ignore.

🌸 Your breasts are part of your wellbeing, not separate from it.
Nurture them with the same kindness you give the rest of your body. 🌸

🧠 Mental Health Matters 💙

Sometimes it’s not about being strong — it’s about acknowledging when your mind feels overloaded, when the tabs are all open and your capacity is stretched thin.

Take a moment to close them. Step outside. Go for the walk, the run, the swim, the coffee catch-up — whatever reignites your spark.

Hold your fur babies, your kids, your friends a little tighter. Be gentle with yourself and with others.

We’re all just doing our best — and sometimes, holding space and showing kindness is exactly what someone needs to keep going. 💫

✨Your IVF story matters. And we want to help you share it in our collaborative IVF book ✨

We’re building something that doesn’t exist yet (to our knowledge), a collaborative book filled with the real, raw voices of women who have walked the IVF path. Not just the medical process, but the heartbreak, the hope, the resilience, and the moments of triumph that only those who’ve lived it can truly understand.

This book will hold every kind of story. Long journeys. First-try successes. Same-sex couples, solo parents, surrogacy, egg and sperm donation, adoption, secondary infertility, endo, PCOS, male factor, unexplained infertility… and everything in between. Because every journey deserves to be seen, remembered, and honoured.

🌿 We want women who are just beginning IVF to be able to hold this book in their hands and feel less alone. To feel prepared for the parts no one talks about. To find comfort at 2 a.m. when they’re googling symptoms, and to know they have the strength to keep going, or the courage to choose another path.

By adding your voice, you’ll:
💛 Leave a legacy — your story will live on and help others for years to come.
💛 Be part of something groundbreaking for the IVF community.
💛 Know that 50% of profits will go straight to charity, supporting other women through infertility and loss.
💛 Gain exposure for yourself — your story, name, business, product, or cause will be shared far and wide as this book is promoted and passed through communities, clinics, and support networks.

📖 The link has everything you need —

This project is about more than a book. It’s about creating a safe, collective voice. A community banding together to carry the weight, the wisdom, and the wonder of IVF.
And we would be honoured if you added your story.l

A Note from Chloe & Katrina I’m Chloe, creator of and one of the women behind this book. Like many of you, I’ve been through the full spectrum of the IVF experience- hopeful beginnings, devastating losses, immune protocols, scans with no heartbeat, hormonal side effects, relat...
