Take Your Healing into Your Own Hands
Lymphatic Self-Care for Breast Cancer
Save time. Save money. Build confidence. Feel better.
Understand and reduce your risk and/or manage your symptoms of breast cancer-related lymphedema on your time and your terms.
Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema is what I like to call, “breast cancer’s best kept secret”.
It’s something every person diagnosed with breast cancer should know about but too often is not addressed until there is a problem.
This needs to change.
I’m raising the bar on lymphedema risk and lymphatic self-care education for the breast cancer community.
Whether this is your first time hearing the term lymphedema, or you are already living with a diagnosis, lymphatic self-care education and activities can help shorten the gap between living in fear and living with freedom.
Because no one should end up living with lymphedema when they didn’t even know they were at risk.
No one should end up with breast cancer related-lymphedema without even knowing they were at risk.
FREE QUIZ: Test Your Knowledge
How much do you really know about breast cancer-related lymphedema?
“I had never heard of lymphedema until they told me I had it.”
“My doctor told me I would either get it or I wouldn’t but not much else.”
“They said I didn’t have to worry about it because I only had a sentinel node biopsy.”
“I’m ok because I haven’t gotten it by now so I’m in the clear right?”
These are the things I've heard from people around the world who didn't know they were at risk for breast cancer-related lymphedema, or simply found out too late.
As a healthcare professional in integrative oncology, I’m frustrated by the lack of education around this condition within our community.
As a woman at risk, and on behalf of every other person at risk or living with it, I’m mad as hell.

Breast Cancer’s Best Kept Secret: Your Complete Guide to Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Risk
Hi, I’m Amy Hartl
Society for Oncology Massage Preferred Practitioner and Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, Board Certified & NYS Licensed Massage Therapist
As a BRCA1+ previvor-turned survivor, I know how cancer tries to steal control from you.
I also know that you have the power to take it back.
Learning to care for your lymphatic system as it relates to your breast cancer experience not only reduces your risk of developing lymphedema, it offers you more freedom in your daily life to do the things you enjoy without fear.
What sounds better? Living by a list of vague do’s and don’ts or making informed decisions in your daily life so you can enjoy all it has to offer?
In my experience, the extent of most peoples’ education for breast cancer-related lymphedema is limited to their doctor telling them to avoid having their blood pressure taken
No one should have to live by a list of do’s and don’ts.
