Breast massage is not taught in many schools because of its controversial nature and fear of jeopardizing students and the profession. Now that medical massage is entering the mainstream and has gained a professional status, breast massage is becoming more acceptable.
There are wonderful, effective, safe, and easy techniques that can make all the difference to a client in pain or in need of therapeutic intervention.
It may be time for a paradigm shift - this program is a good introduction to breast massage.
We will discuss anatomy, hormones, gender roles, implants, scar tissue, and learn hands on techniques that you can start using right away. We also go in depth about ethical touch, client emotions, and legal implications.
You must be state licensed to enroll in this program.
This course is open to all gender licensed practitioners. Due to the sensitive and legal nature of this work, if you are a male gendered therapist, we will contact you to ensure professional intentions.
There is a hands-on portion of the course where we will work on each other. If you are uncomfortable with working with a therapist of the opposite gender, please let us know. Your safety and comfort are important to us.
