I am pleased to make this important work available to our community.

Breast cancer recovery does not end when medical treatment is complete. Many patients continue to live with pain, restriction, scar tissue, radiation fibrosis, and limited movement that affect their daily lives. These challenges are real, and they require thoughtful, skilled, and compassionate care.

Our new booklet and Master Class, Breast Cancer: Radiation Fibrosis, Surgical Scar Remediation, and Clinical Massage Therapy Applications, presents a clear, clinically grounded approach to supporting recovery. This work is designed for massage therapists, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how to safely and effectively work with post-surgical and post-radiation tissue.

Inside this material, we address:
• Radiation fibrosis and its long-term effects on tissue
• Surgical scars and adhesion patterns
• Lymphatic considerations and lymphedema risk
• Pain, sensitivity, and nervous system response
• Safe, assessment-driven manual therapy techniques
• Functional movement restoration and postural balance
• The use of topical herbal applications and therapeutic modalities

This is not a technique-driven course. It is a clinical thinking course. It teaches you how to assess, how to adapt, and how to treat with precision and restraint.

This workshop is part of our ongoing commitment to Building a Healing Community, where knowledge, skill, and compassionate care come together to support patients in meaningful ways.

If you are called to do this work, we invite you to join us on Monday, May 4th, from 9AM to 4PM at my Cascade Village Office.

Monday’s Neuropathy Master Class was one of those days that reminds me why we do this work.

A full room of dedicated practitioners came together not just to learn techniques, but to deepen their clinical thinking and sharpen their ability to truly help patients living with neuropathy. We moved beyond theory and into real-world application, working through assessment, nerve pathway patterns, and hands-on treatment strategies aimed at reducing pain, restoring sensation, and improving function.

Neuropathy is not just a condition, it is a daily reality for our patients. That understanding shaped everything we did.

I want to extend a sincere thank you to Rafael and Amanda for their expertise, presence, and support throughout the day. Their contribution helped elevate the experience for everyone in the room.

There is something powerful about practitioners gathering with a shared purpose, to learn, to serve, and to grow. That is how we build a true healing community.
