SELF-CARE WORKSHOP
Mastering Dry Brushing
for Breast Cancer Self-Care
A Safe, Simple Self-Care Practice to Support Your Lymphatic Health, Skin Integrity, and Well-Being.
Why Dry Brushing?
After a breast cancer diagnosis, caring for your body can feel overwhelming—especially when the guidance on safe, effective self-care is often vague or nonexistent.
One simple but effective practice is dry brushing—a technique that uses a dry body brush to gently stimulate the skin, support lymphatic flow, and encourage circulation.
Yet, most tutorials focus on reducing cellulite or “glowing skin” rather than the true health and wellness benefits that make dry brushing a valuable self-care tool—especially for breast cancer survivors.
Dry brushing can be a supportive practice for:
>> Supporting Your Lymphatic System – Encourages lymphatic flow, reducing the risk of stagnation and lymphedema symptoms.
>> Boosting Circulation – Stimulates blood flow and cellular renewal.
>> Improving Skin Health – Gently exfoliates, strengthens skin integrity, and helps reduce infection risk.
>> Creating a Mind-Body Connection – Helps you reconnect with your body after the physical and emotional toll of breast cancer.
>> Saving Time & Money on Professional Care – Offers a simple, lifelong self-care technique that can help extend the benefits of professional treatments and support your lymphatic health between MLD sessions.
>> Building Self-Care Confidence - Gives you a simple, effective way to support your body on your time and terms, so you feel more in control of your health and well-being.
But not all dry brushing techniques are safe for someone who has had breast cancer.
That’s why I created this workshop—so you can confidently integrate dry brushing into your routine in a way that works for your body and your lived experience.
The Only Dry Brushing Workshop Designed for Breast Cancer Recovery & Lymphatic Health
Unlike generic dry brushing tutorials that last 8-15 minutes, this 90-minute workshop offers a more in-depth look, tailored specifically for those with a breast cancer experience.
You’ll learn:
✔️ How breast cancer treatments impact your lymphatic system and skin health and why that matters for dry brushing.
✔️ Which brush to use (because choosing the wrong one can do more harm than good).
✔️ The proper technique to safely and effectively dry brush for your body’s unique needs.
✔️ How to build a ritual that turns dry brushing into an enjoyable, consistent practice.
Beth, 8 year breast cancer survivor
“After dry brushing my body feels awakened by the process. It's definitely a good feeling. Not only pampering but effective in controlling lymphedema.”
Kathy, 3 year breast cancer survivor
I use dry brushing as a regular part of my self care to help manage my lymphedema. It's nice to be able to switch between manual lymphatic massage one day and dry brushing on another to get those "feel good" benefits that improve lymphatic flow.
Arianna, 1 year breast cancer survivor
Before my mastectomy I spent a great deal of time critiquing my body, dodging mirrors, hiding behind shapeless silhouettes. The ritual of dry brushing for me made me look at myself outside of the shower and outside of my ordinary view. [It] connected my mind and body. They are now a team instead of in opposition and I've never known such peace.
Julie, 1 year breast cancer survivor
Establishing a dry brushing regimen has helped to add a manageable bit of self care into my weekly routine. It's easy, relaxing, and is a nice proactive way to help me feel a bit more in control of my health. I am grateful to have this knowledge in my toolkit to help mitigate my risk of lymphedema.
By the End of This Workshop, You'll Walk Away With:
✔️ Confidence in your ability to safely and effectively care for your body in a way that is both practical and meaningful.
✔️ A step-by-step technique designed specifically for those with a breast cancer history—created by someone who’s been there, too.
✔️ A clear understanding of how your lymphatic system works and why dry brushing matters, taught by an expert in integrative oncology care.
✔️ Guidance on choosing a brush that works for you and feeling more confident using it (so you don’t have to rely on trial and error).
✔️ A personalized approach that turns dry brushing from a to-do list item into a self-care ritual you’ll actually enjoy.
Meet Your Guide: A Survivor and Advocate for Safe, Effective Self-Care
Hi, I’m Amy Hartl—a BRCA1+ breast cancer survivor and oncology massage therapist with over 12 years of experience specializing in integrative oncology and lymphatic health.
I understand how vital self-care is after breast cancer—and how confusing it can feel to navigate your body’s changes. Dry brushing can be a wonderful way to reconnect with and care for yourself, but it’s essential to adapt your approach to fit your body’s unique needs.
This workshop was born from a desire to make dry brushing accessible, empowering, and tailored to the unique needs of breast cancer survivors.
I’m honored to help you explore how dry brushing can fit into your self-care and recovery.
This may be for you if…
✔ You’ve recently finished treatment for breast cancer and want a gentle, effective way to support your recovery and healing.
✔ You’ve been living in survivorship for a while and want to feel more in control of your self-care instead of relying solely on professional treatments.
✔ You want a safe, effective way to reduce your risk of lymphedema or manage early symptoms.
✔ You’re curious about dry brushing but want guidance tailored to the unique needs of a breast cancer survivor.
✔ You are very familiar with dry brushing but aren’t sure how to modify your practice after a breast cancer diagnosis.
✔ You’re overwhelmed by conflicting information about dry brushing and want a clear, expert-led approach.
✔ You’re ready to invest in a lifelong self-care tool —without needing expensive equipment or multiple appointments.
This may not be for you if…
𝑿 You’re currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. This is a challenging time when your body is working hard to heal—consider coming back once treatment is complete.
𝑿 You’ve had a different cancer diagnosis that requires specialized guidance outside the scope of this workshop.
𝑿 You’re looking for a replacement for professional medical care. This workshop is designed to complement—not replace—medical treatment, physical therapy, or professional lymphatic care.
𝑿 You have a medical condition that may make dry brushing unsafe. If you have active wounds, infections, a skin condition, or complex health concerns (such as advanced heart disease or another cancer diagnosis), consult your healthcare provider before incorporating dry brushing into your routine.
𝑿 You haven’t had breast cancer and are looking for a general dry brushing tutorial. While anyone can dry brush, this workshop is designed specifically to address the unique concerns of breast cancer survivors.
