Massage therapists…
What if the answer isn’t leaving massage therapy…but finding a new direction inside your massage career?

So many massage therapists are quietly dealing with:
• sore wrists
• numb hands at night
• emotional exhaustion
• wondering how long their body can keep up with this work

Breast, chest & oncology massage has changed the direction of many massage therapy practices.
Not by leaving the profession… but by evolving inside it.

If you’ve been craving a shift in your practice, this could be the beginning of something new. ✨

Our Intro to Mastectomy Massage offers massage therapists a supportive place to begin exploring this work and learning how to safely support clients through breast cancer surgery, gender-affirming surgeries, and post-operative recovery.

Did you know…
Many patients leave breast or chest surgery without ever being told what supportive recovery options are available.

That’s one of the reasons this work matters so much. 💗

If you’ve been curious about working with:
• breast cancer recovery

• top surgery recovery
• scar and mobility support
• post-op nervous system care

…this Intro to Mastectomy Massage training was created as a starting place.

Inside the live virtual training we’ll explore:
✨ supportive post-op considerations
✨ communication + patient-centered care
✨ recovery support concepts
✨ creating safer, more informed spaces for clients

If this work has been calling to you, we’d love to have you join us.

If your massage practice could evolve, what would you want it to look like?

More ease?
More meaning?
Different patients?
More clinical confidence?
A new direction that feels aligned with where you are now?

Curious what comes up for you. 💛

Many massage therapists come into The Mastectomy Guide feeling like they are ready for something different, even if they cannot fully explain it yet.

Sometimes it starts with curiosity.
Sometimes burnout.
Sometimes wanting to support patients in a deeper way.
Sometimes simply feeling called toward more intentional, patient-led care.

Whether you are looking to begin with the Intro to Mastectomy Massage course, deepen your skills through the Comprehensive Intensive, or continue growing through mentorship and community, there are different pathways to explore with MG.

Behind the scenes of this work is something deeper than learning new techniques.

It is about supporting patients through vulnerable moments in their recovery.
It is about slowing down, listening, and practicing with intention.
It is about helping people reconnect with their bodies after surgery, pain, treatment, or change.

We believe massage therapists can play an important role in recovery when care is patient-led, trauma-aware, and grounded in safety and respect.

This work asks us to approach the body differently.
With softer hands.
With deeper listening.
With less assumption and more curiosity.

If you are feeling called to explore this work, our Intro to Mastectomy Massage course is designed to help you begin in a supportive, evidence-informed way.

When Maya first came for care, she was in pain, restricted, and overwhelmed after multiple surgeries.

She felt disconnected from her body.

Over time, with gentle, informed, trauma-aware support, things began to shift.

Her scars softened.
Her body felt more free.
Her confidence returned.
This is why this work matters.

In Intro to Mastectomy Massage, you’ll see what’s possible when therapists understand the gaps and begin learning how to support this population with care.

Sometimes one introductory course opens a much bigger doorway.

Many massage therapists come into this work simply feeling curious and leave seeing a completely new direction for their practice.

A new population of clients.
A deeper understanding of surgical recovery.
A different way of working with the body.
A more meaningful connection to patient-led care.

You do not need to have it all figured out before you begin.....Curiosity can be enough.

The Intro to Mastectomy Massage course was created for massage therapists who want to explore breast, chest, and oncology massage in a supportive, evidence-informed learning environment.

If this work has been quietly pulling at your attention, this may be your sign to step through the doorway. 💛
