Have you experienced a mastectomy, lumpectomy, reconstruction, or radiation therapy? Recovery is not only physical. Navigating new limitations, altered sensation, and feelings of disconnection from your body can be just as challenging as the surgery itself.

Gentle manual therapy can play a meaningful role in this healing process. Through slow, supportive and intentional touch, treatments help the affected area feel integrated again, fostering a sense of reconnection and confidence as you move forward in your recovery.

Each session is client centered and guided by your comfort level, supporting long term healing of the surgical site and surrounding tissues. Gentle manual therapy can help reduce pain, improve sensation, ease itching and tightness, and support the appearance and mobility of scar tissue. Treatments also address cording, limited shoulder range of motion, capsular contracture, and other complications.

Your comfort, dignity and safety come first in every Breast Care manual therapy session.

I take a client centered approach rooted in clear communication, informed consent and respect for individual needs. Before we begin, we discuss goals, boundaries, and any medical considerations so there are no surprises- only support.

Sessions are conducted in a professional, therapeutic environment with thoughtful draping, ongoing check-ins, and gentle techniques tailored to your comfort level. You are always in control, and consent is continuous and collaborative.

Whether supporting recovery, reducing pain or swelling, or improving mobility, my focus is on providing skilled, compassionate care that honors both your body and your experience.

If you have questions or would like to learn more about what to expect, I’m always happy to talk.

Iron Bra Syndrome is a common complication after breast cancer surgery where tight, band-like pressure develops across the chest- often feeling like you’re wearing a rigid “iron bra”. This discomfort can affect breathing, limit movement and posture, and linger long after healing. The good news: gentle Scar Therapy and targeted treatment can help soften restrictions, improve movement and restore comfort.

I am so happy to share that I completed The Mastectomy Guide’s 6-month Mentorship and Training Academy!

Since the transition of my practice to focus on Scar Therapy, I’ve had the privilege of working with many women recovering from breast cancer surgeries who were still dealing with pain, limited mobility, and other post-surgical complications- even years after their procedures. Seeing their struggles up close made me realize just how big the gap in post-surgical care truly is. It also sparked a deeper calling in me to show up for them in a more meaningful way, supporting them through both the physical and emotional challenges of healing and recovery.

Completing this incredible 200-hour training led by has given me a comprehensive understanding of the many surgical pathways, as well as the physical challenges and emotional impact patients experience throughout treatment and recovery. It has transformed my approach by providing the skills, insight and confidence to deliver more thorough, compassionate care.

I am now fully equipped to help individuals manage complications, reduce symptoms, and reconnect with their bodies so they can move through their healing journey with greater ease and confidence. This program has been a deeply rewarding, pivotal step that aligned my practice with my purpose and I’m so excited to make a more meaningful difference for the breast cancer community!

Your well-being is my priority. From pain relief to scar tissue management, I'm here to support you with comfort and safety in mind.

BREAST HEALTH

This educational session is intended to promote lifelong optimal breast health through self treatment and to familiarize yourself with your breast tissue so you will be much more aware of any changes. You will learn how to perform a thorough visual and manual breast exam, as well as breast lymphatic massage. A shorter follow-up visit may be scheduled to review the material and make sure that you are totally comfortable with the process.

Approximately 1 in 8 women and 1 in 800 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. We can minimize that risk by making healthy lifestyle changes and promoting healthy breast tissue!
