Hi, I’m Amy.

Your Breast Cancer Self-Care Specialist™

I specialize in helping women impacted by breast cancer develop self-care skills to reduce pain and discomfort, understand and care for their bodies, and make informed daily decisions to move through life with more confidence and ease.

As a BRCA1+ previvor-turned-survivor in 2017, I understand the challenges of a breast cancer diagnosis.

As a practicing oncology massage and manual lymphatic drainage therapist since 2012, I combine my professional training and knowledge with my personal experience to offer a unique perspective few others can offer.

Whether you need hands-on therapy or are seeking online self-care support, I’m in this with you and ready to help you find the relief and confidence you’ve been seeking in your body and survivorship.
