Zoom Livestream

Gather with us via Zoom and learn how your breast and lymphatic health are connected to your overall wellnessWellness is on all of our minds now more than ever, yet breast health is not often a topic discussed unless in relation to a mammogram or cancer diagnosis.  1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer and the death rates of those diagnosed are higher than any other cancer, besides lung cancer.  We need to take matters into our own hands, literally.

In the privacy of your won homes, we will discuss the lymphatic system, learn breast self massage techniques and participate in movements which assist in lymphatic drainage.  Please wear comfortable clothing to move in and let’s have a frank discussion on self care tools to support your whole health!

This donation-based wellness workshop will be presented by Krista Tarantino, RN, IBCLC of Earth Milk Moon and Alexis Pittmon, Movement Educator of Be Well Pilates.  Donations humbly accepted through Eventbrite or PayPal.
