Comprehensive Breast Care Conference

Comprehensive Breast Care Conference

If you are ready to deepen your knowledge of how to care for the human breast, this conference is for you. First, you’ll delve into the topic of breast massage with an expert who has studied it in cultures around the world and developed her own techniques. You’ll explore how breast massage can be a vital tool in addressing pain and complications of milk stasis, and also how it can be damaging without the proper understanding. With the knowledge in this course, your clients will be in good hands–yours. Next, go deep with the subject of lactation after breast surgery, with an IBCLC who is also a breast surgeon. This course teaches everything you need to know to create an individualized care plan to support the success of any client who has had a previous breast surgery.
