Wanting to add breast massage to my practice

by Sherri K Scott

Feb 26, 2012

I've been a massage therapist for almost 8 years. Several years ago I decided I want to teach women about self breast massage. I became a certified lymphedema therapist to help understand the lymphatic system. I have yet to take a breast massage class, but I'm anxious to onc work  that much so I feel I still need more training. I joined this forum to connect with others who are doing the work. It seems like the activity of this forum had dropped. I hope to open more discussion as I move forward in this area.This is my blog. I post every blue moon, but I expect to do better in the future.  http://www.holisticbreasthealth.blogspot.com  Also, this is my facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Holistic-Breast-Health-and-other-sel...

    Carol, that's a great website. Thanks for leading me to it. I also have Susan Weeds book, (and Debra Curties and Cheryl Chapman). In fact my breast massage oil is loosely based on the herbs she suggests.

    Hi Sherri, I offer Lymphatic Drainage of the breasts in my practice and listed it as massage so potential clients could find it on web searches.  Women find it incredibly helpful for a whole list of things including prevention!  http://www.fortcollinslymph-massage.com/breast-massage.html

    I appreciate everyone's input. I think once I take a breast massage course I'll feel more confident. I'd love to take Eeris's class.
