Therefore if you need a refund issued, it will be returned in full minus the original “PayPal Fee”. This does not go to the Instructor or school; this money goes directly to PayPal to handle the credit card processing and refund processing and the Instructor or school has no control over this.

Breast/Chest Massage Continuing Education for Healthcare Providers

In this class students will learn massage of the ribcage, chest and breasts intended to support healthy breathing and general stress relief within full body wellness massage. Students also learn how this massage may benefit clients living with menstrual related tenderness, fibrocystic breast tissue, breast augmentation, breast reduction, mastectomy, and other non-cancerous breast conditions.

The chest and breast massage taught in this class is intended to be easily integrated into a holistic, full body session to relieve tension, stress, and pain, and to increase our clients’ ease of movement in both the upper and lower body. This work consistently helps clients feel and connect with their whole body in a wonderful way that many have not previously experienced. Emphasis is placed on making our touch safe, pleasant, neutral/non-sexual, and effective for all clients. In many of the techniques, pressure is directed to the muscles and ribs located deep to the mammary glands. Students will learn massage techniques which are done for all genders with the chest covered with a drape, and other techniques which are done bare chested/breasted.

This course meets Washington State training requirements for specialized training in breast massage. (WAC 246-830-555).

More than half the class time is devoted to hands on massage practice. The balance of the time is spent discussing the issues specific to breast massage listed below:

indications & contraindications
therapeutic treatment techniques
draping requirements
appropriate therapist-client or patient boundaries
