*6 Month Payment Plans Available*
FLOW Mexico is an immersive training in lymphatic breast & womb care, bringing together therapeutic touch, women's health education, and body literacy in one unforgettable experience.
Together, we'll explore the relationship between the breasts, belly, womb, lymphatic system, nervous system, and hormones while learning hands-on skills in lymphatic drainage, breast massage, abdominal and womb massage, and uterine alignment. Whether you're a practitioner or simply wanting a deeper understanding of your own body, you'll leave with practical tools to support yourself and the women in your community.
More than a training, FLOW is an opportunity to step away from the pace of everyday life and immerse yourself in learning. Through daily somatic movement, nourishing organic meals, herbal medicine, deep self care, and the beauty of the Oaxaca coast, you'll experience firsthand how therapeutic touch, nervous system regulation, and community support become powerful foundations for healing.
What You'll Learn
The anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system and its role in hormone balance, immunity, and breast & pelvic health.
Hands-on lymphatic breast massage, tissue assessment, abdominal and womb massage, and uterine alignment.
How to assess tissue quality through touch, including texture, temperature, mobility, tenderness, and areas of stagnation.
Nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle practices that support healthy lymphatic flow, resilient breast tissue & balanced hormones.
Somatic practices that support nervous system regulation and deepen your capacity to hold space for yourself and others.
How to confidently integrate these skills into your own self-care or women's health practice.
By the end of the training, every participant will have both given and received a complete lymphatic breast & belly massage and tissue assessment, leaving with the confidence to continue practicing these skills long after returning home.
Who This Training Is For
FLOW Mexico is open to practitioners and non-practitioners alike. Whether you're a birth worker, massage therapist, herbalist, nurse, lactation consultant, bodyworker, or simply a woman wanting to better understand your own body, you'll find a place here.
No previous experience is necessary—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to learn.
You'll Leave With
✺ Confidence in lymphatic breast massage, tissue assessment, abdominal massage, and uterine alignment.
✺ A deeper understanding of female anatomy, physiology, and the lymphatic-hormonal connection.
✺ Practical tools to support yourself, your family, or the women in your practice.
✺ Handcrafted herbal body care products and the knowledge to continue making them at home.

**Upon completing the training, you'll also be eligible to apprentice and eventually practice with The Areola Practitioner Collective, offering breast wellness checks and lymphatic breast massage at women's gatherings throughout the U.S. You'll also have the opportunity to be featured in our upcoming practitioner directory.
This is not a CEC-certified course. It is an immersive practitioner training rooted in hands-on learning, body literacy, and women's health education.
Together, we can help more women understand their bodies, care for their breast health, and reclaim confidence in their own physiology.

Meet Taylor, our Kitchen Queen & Chef
Inspired by earth's delights, Taylor’s intention with food is to orchestrate the weaving of culinary design and cellular nourishment. She is inspired by empowering people through nourishing their inner and outer world.
The menus she designs are enriched with a mix of nutritional biohacking, flavor fusion, textural delicacy, and are collaborative to harmonize with the flow of the retreat. For Taylor, food is a pillar of the adventure and by using a combination of fresh locally sourced produce and intentional technique she creates a culinary experience that ignites the journey of inner world alchemy, to outer world ecstasy.
Meet Summer, our Retreat Photographer
Summer is a medicine woman with a camera. Her eye for evocative lighting and creative composition lends her photographs a sense of nostalgia and magic, but her real gift is in the way she holds her muses through the experience of revealing their most embodied, powerful, tender, open selves to her lens.
For the past eight years, Summer has been holding experiences centered around her photography as a healing modality, and as such, one of her favorite ways to photograph people is when they are deep inside a container of embodiment, connection, opening, healing and remembrance.
