Question for you:
If these 4 types of mastectomy clients walked into your treatment room, would you know what to do?
The variances in surgeries and what people go through is huge, and you may not currently know what type of surgery is what. That's why were are here, so you CAN know what to do without feeling like an impostor.
One of our Mentorship Academy students said: "You gave all of us who were lost and fumbling a place to land. And through all this we can extend the reach to so many people."

Meet Your Mentor
Hi! I'm Eryn 😃🦋
I've been working in the healing arts for almost 25 years, the last 13 dedicated to massage therapy. I got my "10,000+ hours" of hands-on treatment with breast and chest surgery patients years ago, so I'm now helping other people open their practice to this very unique and beautiful population.
I've now trained about 375 therapists across 3 countries in my professional training programs, and educated many hundreds more through educational events.
I find working with people going through breast cancer an extremely meaningful career path, one that allows us to touch the human spirit at a very vulnerable time of life.
It is also a population that needs and appreciates a light touch, so it's a good body saver - something I desperately needed after facing unrelenting chronic pain and burnout just a few years into my massage therapy career.
Pivoting my practice to support people going through cancer treatments and related surgeries has provided incredible inspiration, purpose and passion in my work, and gotten me out of chronic pain as well.
I'm excited to share this path with you, so you can have a meaningful and sustainable career!
Can't wait to see you inside the Academy! 💕😃
