This clinical, therapeutic treatment addresses breast/chest tissue for clients with healthy breasts. Breast massage can reduce tenderness due to hormonal changes or pregnancy, improve lymphatic circulation, improve milk production, clear blocked ducts, reduce the presence of fibrocystic tissue, and soften scar tissue and adhesions. Did you know that most people who wear bras, tight clothes or carry heavy bags have scar tissue in their breasts? This bodywork can also support a nurturing, normalizing and kind attitude towards the breasts; incredibly valuable in a culture where breasts are heavily judged, censored, and fetishized. This massage is for those with natural breasts, those who have had top surgery (to add or remove!) and/or implants (note: some implants are safe for massage, but not all). Those experiencing active cancers, some lymphatic diseases or severe mastitis should seek care from a specialist. Tillie would be happy to refer you.
Note: According to Oregon law, a separate free consultation appointment and consent form will be required prior to any breast massage performed. This can be done before you leave after a non-breast massage with me, or you can come in for a consultation separately. It is recommended that you have at least one massage with me before we schedule a breast massage so we can build rapport and communication together. My goal is to help you feel as safe as possible, as breast massage can be a vulnerable and emotional experience for clients. Your breast massage can be performed over thin, soft clothing or on the skin directly. Nipples are avoided according to Oregon law.
