Managing engorgement and figuring out supply

Breasts have their own rhythm, expanding and contracting as they produce milk. It's a dance, especially in the early stages or when your pumping routine shifts. Understanding your body's signals is key – it's more than just numbers and clock-watching. Learn to interpret your body's cues, crafting a schedule that fits your unique rhythm and needs. Let's move beyond the basics and create a feeding and sustainably healthy milk making plan in harmony with your body and your baby.

Improving Posture and Range of Motion

Therapeutic breast massage goes beyond the breasts, extending its healing touch to the chest, shoulders, and neck. Through a blend of deep-tissue massage, movement, breathing, and stretching, this technique offers holistic relief. Regardless of your breast health, every woman can find solace in this practice. It becomes a potent tool for recovery post-C-section, mastitis, or your baby's tongue and lip tie release. Let your body experience the rejuvenating power of therapeutic touch as a mom working hard to feed and care for herself and her baby.

What to Expect in a Treatment

Taking Matters into Your Own Hands

Beyond professional breast massage treatments, you can take several preventive measures to maximize your breast health.

Daily self-massage promotes lymph flow and is especially beneficial for those experiencing engorgement. The debate between deep versus light touch breast massages continues, with various techniques available, all of which need not be overly complicated. Julee will guide you through these in your visits.
