Lead Instructor
Eryn Price, RMT
Hi! I’m Eryn 😄🦋
With over 25 years in the healing arts and 15 years as a massage therapist, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting clients through breast and chest surgeries—from breast cancer treatments to gender-affirming procedures. After logging well over 10,000 hours of hands-on work with this unique and beautiful population, I now focus on helping other therapists expand their skills and practices in this rewarding field.
To date, I’ve trained over 650 massage therapists across multiple countries through my accredited programs and reached thousands more through educational events and workshops.
Working with clients navigating breast cancer and surgical recovery has been one of the most meaningful and inspiring paths in my career. It allows us to connect deeply with people during a vulnerable time and provide care that truly makes a difference. Plus, the gentle, focused techniques needed for this work are not just transformative for clients—they’re body-saving for therapists, too. Shifting my practice in this direction helped me overcome chronic pain and burnout early in my career, giving me a renewed sense of purpose and passion.
I’m excited to share this journey with you and help you build a meaningful, sustainable career that brings both personal fulfillment and professional growth.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF MASSAGE WORK
MANY MASSAGE THERAPISTS FEEL A QUIET PULL TOWARD MORE MEANINGFUL WORK.
Supporting someone through:
- Cancer treatment
- Major surgery
- Gender affirmation
- Deeply personal body changes
These moments require care that is thoughtful, respectful, and clinically informed.
Yet most massage therapy programs never teach how to safely work with surgical tissues, scar patterns, or oncology considerations.
Therapists are left wanting to help… but unsure how.
THIS RETREAT WAS DESIGNED TO CHANGE THAT
WHY THIS WORK MATTERS
Every year, millions of people undergo breast and chest surgeries.
- Mastectomies
- Lumpectomies
- Reconstruction
- Gender-affirming surgeries
- Implant removals
These procedures affect mobility, sensation, and overall function.
Yet once medical treatment ends, many patients are left asking:
“What now?”
Massage therapists are uniquely positioned to help.
But most training programs don’t teach how to work safely with surgical tissues.
THIS TRAINING WAS CREATED TO HELP CLOST THAT GAP
SCIENCE OF SCAR TISSUE ONLY
A limited number of participants may attend the 2-day Science of Scar Tissue training at the end of the retreat.
