I want to very gently remind you that you matter; every inch of your body matters and is deserving of care and supportive attention.
Statistics show that many people experience breast discomfort at some point in their lifetimes, and that the number of folks that will report this pain to their primary care giver, or to anyone, is quite low…why? Perhaps because our breasts rarely receive healthy attention as an important consideration in a persons overall care. Breasts hold alot of different emotional responses, and are often sexualized rather than respected, which gives many people a decreased sense of confidence in voicing any concerns they may have about their breasts.
It is an honour to weave; the teachings of Debra Curties and her work with breast massage, the work of Sat Dharam Kaur, and my 20 years of learning through workshop facilitation, learning, one – on-one care, yoga and massage with people on their breast health journey, into this empowering 6 week experiential program.
Through this process may you walk with a little more self-compassion, awareness, harmony and care for your sacred body in balance with our natural world.
This program is primarily geared towards breast health education, but explores different facets of our overall health and the ways we are woven together through body, mind and spirit. There is an accessible movement and yoga practice each week, with meditations, and a different discussion focus at each session over the course of the full program.
What can you expect? 6 weeks of self love and self care!
- We’ll be discussing the connections between your breast health and your whole body
- Learn and practice yoga and stretching specifically for your hormone and breast health
- Discuss why you’d consider breast massage and learn self massage and other self care techniques you can put into practice immediately
- Learn about different oils that help to support your breast health
- We’ll explore the lymphatic system and how you can optimize the ways it supports you
- Explore nutritional considerations for our breast health
- Discuss the emotional aspects of this sacred part of our bodies
- Connect with community in a safe way
- Weekly check in/practice sessions
- Support through reflective practices, exclusive weekly downloadable videos, electronic worksheets, and handouts, and a live 90 minute (optional) weekly discussion where we’ll move our bodies and dive deeper into the material.
- Ongoing support during the 6 weeks, as well as unlimited access to Amber’s live zoom classes for the duration of the program.
Enrollment in the full program is necessary, as each week we build on the previous weeks material.
There are a maximum number of spots for each session, to maintain a safe space supporting you to show up exactly as you are.

I would like to acknowledge that as a little girl I lost my Nana, one of the most important and special women in my life, to breast cancer. This offering is created in her honour, and in honour of all the women I’ve been privileged to work with over the years. I am grateful for your trust and in awe of your strength, each and every one of you.
Testimonials from past participants
” I can’t sing the praises of this course enough! It has transformed the way I treat myself and my health, not only through motivating me to take on healthier practices and habits, but also through establishing a stronger mindset on the importance of self care. I truly looked forward each week to seeing Amber and the others in my group, and cherished that time I could spend with them. After each class, I always felt rejuvenated, relaxed, and happy. The reading materials were informative and extremely helpful in incorporating Amber’s teachings and explanations, and the videos helped me to practice at other times. I’m grateful for this because it allows for the feeling that it doesn’t have to end – that I can continue these healthy habits and involve them in my daily life for a long time to come. “

“We need more of this!”

“This is a robust course with so much valuable information to digest, and after 6 weeks of looking forward to seeing Amber, practicing breathing techniques, and learning how I can improve my habits to nourish my own health and well being, I didn’t want it to end! Needless to say, it was not long enough! During the class, she is patient and kind, she teaches and also listens, and offers a safe and trusting environment to allow all the members to feel totally comfortable. But for all intensive purposes, the overall balance of the teaching material, mixed with meaningful discussion and practice, created the perfect environment for me to start some excellent habits and motivate me into caring for myself! I believe the long term benefits will be immense!”
