Personal Journey and Vision

Jennifer recognizes her personal journey in building self-esteem and cultivating healthy relationships as the emotional component to her own benign breast condition. She believes that breast related conditions and illness may be a sign of an emotional issue that needs healing. Making positive changes that support our emotional needs by loving and nurturing ourselves may offer a preventative measure to help treat imbalances before they manifest in the body. Her journey and message has now turned into her life's work. Her vision is to unite women in creating a new paradigm on breast cancer prevention by offering a new model of breast care that encourages women to think differently in promoting breast wellness by caring for our physical and emotional well being.

"Jennifer is knowledgeable about breast tissue and works her fingers deftly and skillfully over delicate areas as she locates lymph node sites and pressure points. With a glass of filtered water both before and after her session, I feel confident that any accumulated toxins will experience a lymphatic drain! I could not recommend a more skillful or sensitive massage therapist."
