Because breasts are complex organs with unique and intricate anatomy. They’re wild, actually. The only organs that develop after birth and live outside the body. Their very nature is to change—at puberty through pregnancy and again at menopause—and of course during every menstrual cycle. This continual change and their complex composition (fat, tissue, lymph) makes them vulnerable to toxins. It’s why they need special attention.
Clusters of immune cells that help filter the lymphatic system. If breast cancer spreads, the lymph nodes in the underarm are the first place it’s likely to go. Lymphatic massage drains excess fluid, which contains bacteria, toxins, and pathogens.
Cluster-like bunches of glands that are embedded in fatty and fibrous tissue and produce milk.
Thin tubes that carry milk to the nipples. 80% of all breast cancers start here.
Fills the space between glandular and fibrous tissue. The amount of fat determines your breast density (more fat = less dense), as well as breast size.
The body’s largest organ absorbs everything—the good and the bad.
FREE IT ALREADY! Heightens arousal during sex and of course, great for feeding babies.
Made up of radiating muscles that cause nipple stimulation to facilitate nursing. There’s no normal size, color, or shape, but if they have an unusual change, get them checked out.
Works to hold up and support the breast. Implants can be placed either under or over the muscle.
So many things impact breast health. It’s the food we eat, our genetics, our relationships, stress, lymphatic health, environmental toxins—the list goes on.
We’re here to help you create a breast care ritual that works for you—and your boobs. One that lets you connect with your body, feel supported and optimizes your breast wellness.
We get it, maybe you’ve never even thought about breast care—we didn’t either. So give yourself a minute as you figure out what the final frontier of self-care means to you.
Breast massage supports lymphatic flow, improves breast tissue nutrition, boosts blood circulation, flushes toxins and excess estrogen, enhances elasticity of the ligaments and improves skin tone.
*If you’re in active treatment or have had breast cancer, always connect with your practitioners to ensure safe massage.
