HAS A PATIENT ASKED YOU FOR HELP AFTER A MASTECTOMY?
You wanted to help.
But you weren’t sure what was safe, appropriate or within your skills.
You’re not alone.
Most massage therapy programs don’t teach post-mastectomy care.
MAYBE YOUR PRACTICE IS ASKING FOR SOMETHING NEW.
More meaning.
More curiosity.
A gentler way to work.
Mastectomy massage may be the direction you’ve been looking for.
YOUR FIRST STEP INTO MASTECTOMY MASSAGE
This four-day live online course offers an affordable way to explore the field before committing to advanced training.
You’ll gain:
- Foundational knowledge
- Two gentle starter techniques
- Trauma-aware perspectives
- A real patient case study
- Connection with other massage therapists
- Clarity about your next step
THREE GAPS STAND BETWEEN PATIENTS AND THE CARE THEY NEED
1. THE CLINICAL GAP
Massage therapists want to help, but often lack the knowledge and skills.
2. THE SYSTEMIC GAP
Patients can fall between surgery and meaningful long-term recovery support.
3. THE VISIBILITY GAP
Patients, massage therapists and healthcare providers struggle to find one another.
Together, we can begin building bridges across all three.
GO BEYOND "JUST WORKING ON THE SCAR"
Recovery after mastectomy can affect:
- Movement
- Breathing
- Sensation
- Posture
- Comfort
- Confidence
- Connection with the body
Discover why mindful post-mastectomy massage considers the whole person.

I WENT LOOKING FOR THIS TRAINING TOO
Hi! I'm Eryn 🦋 I'm your main course facilitator!
When patients first asked me for help after mastectomy, I didn’t know what to do.
I searched for training.
None existed.
That search became more than a decade of clinical learning and the education I wish I’d had when I began.
Today, The Mastectomy Guide helps massage therapists offer safer, more informed care to people after breast and chest surgery.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Jess King
After so many years, the same old classes can start to feel like a rinse-and-repeat of what’s already out there. This feels different. This feels like a movement.
It’s new, it’s exciting, and it’s something that truly matters—and I’m really excited to be part of it. 💜
Katrina Tomczak
All of this has been terrifyingly eye-opening but also inspiring. Now... I understand what they are going through 🙏💪❤️
Restoring Touch
I showed up as a skeptic, I hate to admit…
After the first day, I was intrigued, and after yesterday I am grateful and hopeful to find a path for this work in my own practice.
