This will be the only lymphatic breast massage practitioner training of 2026

*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.

✺ A personalized self-care plan to continue supporting your own lymphatic, hormone and nervous system health.

**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.

Space is limited!

FLOW: The Lymphatic - Hormone Blueprint: An 8 Week Intensive

An 8-Week Exploration in Breast, Lymphatic & Hormonal Health

Next Cohort Begins September 5th

Your breasts hold more than tissue.
They hold Story. Emotion. Stagnation. Wisdom.
They hold the echos of what has been ignored and the possibility of what wants to move.

FLOW is an 8-week online immersion into women's health through the lens of the lymphatic system, hormone balance, and body literacy. Together, we'll explore the anatomy and physiology of the female body, learn how our lymphatic and nervous systems influence our hormones, and build practical tools to support vibrant health from the inside out.

Why FLOW Is Different

FLOW is more than an online course. It's a guided, eight-week immersion into women's health & body literacy.

You'll learn the why behind what you're experiencing, along with practical tools you can begin using immediately. Through weekly teachings, self-lymphatic massage, nervous system support, movement, and nutrition, you'll develop a deeper understanding of how your body works and what it needs to thrive.

Most importantly, you'll do it alongside a community of women who are learning, asking questions, and supporting one another throughout the journey. Healing is rarely linear, and having a space to be seen, guided, and encouraged makes all the difference.

What’s Included

✔ Over 15 hours of Live classes
8 weekly live classes (1.5 hours each), recorded and downloadable

✔ A library of guided teachings + self-massage videos
Pre-recorded videos to support your practice throughout the week

✔ 30+ pages of beautifully designed PDF’s, slides, and resources
For deeper understanding or to weave into your own practice, resources that you can keep coming back to

✔ Weekly rituals + somatic reflection practices
To help you track emotional patterns and build embodied resilience

✔ Elemental Breast Health eBook
A gift to deepen your understanding and nourish your ongoing practice

✔ Private community space on Mighty Networks
Daily dialogue, reflection, and witnessing inside a container that is alive and responsive
(You’ll also have access to me in this space throughout the course.)

✔ 2 Surprise Guest Teachers
Bringing you different perspectives & lived experience of embodied lymphatic & hormonal health

This Course Is For You If…

• You want to reclaim your breasts as a center of wisdom—not a place of shame, fear, or confusion.

• You’re postpartum, in transition, or simply longing to come into deeper relationship with your body.

• You experience PMS, painful cycles, or signs of hormonal dysregulation and want a new way of relating to your menstrual rhythm.

• You’re craving daily rituals that nourish your nervous system and help stagnant energy finally move.

• You want to understand lymphatic breast massage on an emotional, cellular, and hormonal level, for yourself or women you work with.

• You thrive in community and want the reminder that healing isn’t meant to be done alone.

• You’re a women’s health practitioner, birthworker, massage therapist, lactation consultant, or nurse who wants to integrate the foundations of lymphatic breast health into your work in a grounded, embodied way.

Why This Work Matters Now More Than Ever

Women are experiencing rising rates of hormone imbalances, breast tenderness, dense breast tissue, fertility challenges, autoimmune conditions, and chronic stress. Yet so few of us have ever been taught how the lymphatic system, nervous system, and hormones work together—or how to support them in simple, practical ways.

FLOW was created to bridge that gap.

Rather than adding more to your to-do list, FLOW helps you build sustainable practices that fit into everyday life and support your health for years to come.

This is about more than learning techniques.

It's about developing the confidence to understand your body, trust what it's telling you, and know how to support yourself through every season of life.

They have over 20 years of combined training and knowledge in Ayurveda, Hormonal Health, Nutrition, Herbalism, and a life long apprenticeship to being in their bodies in the fullest way.
