One of the most common questions we hear from massage therapists is:
“How do I drape appropriately during breast or chest massage?”
Draping is about more than technique. It’s about safety, communication, consent, and helping clients feel comfortable throughout treatment.
Listen to Eryn from as she shares practical tips and considerations that can help you approach this work with more confidence and clarity.

Pride Month 🌈
Pride is a celebration, but it's also a reminder of the importance of creating spaces where people feel safe, respected, and supported in their healthcare experiences.
At Mastectomy Guide, we are committed to helping massage therapists provide inclusive, affirming care for individuals preparing for and recovering from gender-affirming chest surgery.
Every client deserves to be met with respect, thoughtful communication, and care that honours their identity and lived experience.
Through education, we help therapists build confidence in supporting gender affirming surgery clients with compassion, clinical knowledge, and a commitment to creating welcoming treatment spaces.
Because everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and cared for.

Day 1 of Intro is complete ✨
Today we talked about THE CLINICAL Gap
On Day 1, everything starts to come into focus.
We walked through:
• the reality of breast cancer and surgical care today
• what clients are navigating physically and emotionally after surgery
• what post-surgical healing can really look like
• foundations of trauma-informed, ethical care
This is often the moment where massage therapists realize:
“I had no idea… and now I can’t un-see it.”
Such an important first day together 🤍
