The Mastectomy Guide

16/03/2026

There’s only so much you can learn through a screen.

Hands-on clinical work needs real-time practice, guided support, and feedback you can actually apply in session.

Our In-Person Comprehensive Intensive is designed to give you direct coaching and practical skill integration in post-surgical recovery care.

Seats are intentionally limited.

Post-surgical clients need informed care. Most therapists were never trained for it.

We’re sharing a FREE Masterclass on how to support recovery without burning out your own body.

Limited access for this round. Comment MASTERCLASS 💗

Many massage therapists are interested in supporting post-mastectomy clients but aren’t sure where to begin.

Breast and chest surgery recovery is rarely covered in foundational massage training, which can leave therapists unsure how to safely approach these sessions.

Our 3-Day Intro to Mastectomy Massage Course was designed as a starting point to understand healing timelines, gentle techniques, and how to support recovery in a safe, informed way.

Last Saturday we wrapped up another beautiful Comprehensive Intensive. 💕

Six days together with a group of thoughtful, heart-centered massage therapists who showed up with curiosity, care, and a genuine desire to support people navigating breast and chest surgery recovery.

Last Saturday, we wrapped up another beautiful Comprehensive Intensive. 💕
Over the course of the training we explored what happens under the skin during surgery, how to recognize and work with post-operative complications, and how to offer safe, effective light-touch treatments for this very special population.

But what always stands out most is the people in the room.

The thoughtful questions.
The willingness to learn something new.
The shared commitment to doing this work ethically, safely, and with heart.

Watching this group grow in clinical confidence over the six days was such a joy.

Congratulations to our newest Comprehensive Intensive graduates.

Today we honour the strength, resilience, and stories of women everywhere.

At The Mastectomy Guide, we see every day how powerful women truly are navigating breast cancer, mastectomy, reconstruction, and recovery with courage, vulnerability, and determination.

Healing is not just physical. It is emotional, personal, and deeply human.

Every body deserves care, respect, and support.

Happy International Women’s Day. 💗 From all of us at the MG team

A post mastectomy client books in. What do you do?

Most massage training never covers post-surgical tissue, scar response, or safe touch timelines. So therapists hesitate. Work around it. Refer out.

There's a better way.

The Intro to Mastectomy Massage is a 3-day live virtual course built to give massage therapists a clear, confident foundation in post-surgical care.
✅ Evidence-informed techniques
✅ Trauma-informed communication
✅ Gentle methods that protect your body too

📅 March 24–27, 2026 | Live on Zoom
🎟️ $33 (valued at $380)

Enrollment closes soon - grab your spot via the link below, or comment INTRO and we'll send it to you.

Patients often expect strength to “bounce back” quickly.
Recovery is more nuanced.
Gradual load and supported movement build confidence safely.
Our Recovery Companion Guide provides practical education to help patients navigate this stage of healing.

We just wrapped Day 1 of our Virtual Comprehensive Intensive, and it was a full, rich, transformational day. 🦋

Here's a peek at what we covered:
🌸 Lymph vessel theory — the foundation of effective post-mastectomy care
🌸 Full body compression — pressure, pace, and intentional touch
🌸 Working with pressure using a soft small object

This is what it looks like when therapists show up fully for themselves and for the population that needs them most. More from the Intensive coming soon. Stay tuned!
