We tend to this portal of the potent ‘yoni-verse’ with great care. \nHere is a rare opportunity to join a circle of female licensed massage therapists\, midwives\, or others licensed to offer internal bodywork\, in a safe\, respectful\, nurturing environment.

As a labor & delivery nurse I grew aware of the pelvic traumas that many endure and live with after birth\, with few avenues for help. In 2009 I successfully helped a client relieve 80% of her postnatal pelvic pain with one internal pelvic floor bodywork session. Inspired\, I pursued further studies\, including training with Tami Kent PT\, Bryan Baisinger DC\, John Barnes LMT\, Herman & Wallace\, and private studies with PT’s\, DC’s\, and an Osteopath\, Lee Morgan. Currently I have a private practice in Nevada City\, CA. Read more about Leslie. \nAPPLICATION

Contact Leslie to be added to the wait list! \nEARLY DISCOUNT: Register By January 14\, 2025:  $145  \nLOCATION:  Portland\, OR \nIn the United States\, many massage practitioners often omit breast massage from their full body sessions\, a practice that differs from the European standard of care. The breasts\, however\, play a vital role in the energetic female body\, in sexual pleasure\, and in generating total nourishment for infants. This course offers insights into breast health and therapeutic breast massage. \nWhat You’ll Learn: \nAnatomy and Physiology: Explore the intricacies of breast tissue\, gaining a deeper understanding of its structure and function. \nContraindications and Pathology: Learn when and how to approach breast massage\, and understand potential health concerns. \nNormalizing Therapeutic Touch: Discover the significance of incorporating breast massage into your practice\, promoting holistic well-being. \nInformed Consent: Understand the importance of obtaining informed consent from clients and how to navigate the necessary release forms. \nTechniques and Approaches: Master sidelying and semi-reclining approaches to provide a comfortable and effective breast massage experience. \nAddressing Common Breast Concerns: \n\nLactation Issues: Gain insights into supporting lactating individuals with massage techniques.\nClogged Ducts: Learn effective methods to address and alleviate clogged ducts.\nScar Tissue Management: Explore approaches for managing scar tissue resulting from breast reduction or enhancement surgeries.\nSelf Breast Massage: Empower your clients and yourself by practicing and teaching self-massage techniques for breast health.\n\nNote about breast massage in class: If you feel inhibited\, ashamed\, or insecure about touching one’s own or others’ breasts\, you’re not alone! In this class\, we’ll cultivate an environment of respect and curiosity about these potent glands that have the capacity to provide a complete food specifically designed for each individual baby. We will acknowledge both our anxiety and enthusiasm. Come discover the comfort and relief that comes of honoring breasts with massage!  We will practice self-breast massage\, draped or clothed\,  as well as  practice undraped directly on skin. There is the option to work through T-shirt or thin breast drape if undraping in class setting is not comfortable for you. \nPlease Note: This course does not cover techniques for individuals undergoing cancer treatment\, mastectomy\, or lymphectomy recovery. It focuses on promoting breast health and well-being. \nDon’t miss the opportunity to expand your knowledge and offer a more holistic approach to wellness in your practice! \nIMPORTANT PROTOCOLS FOR CLASS:  \n*** This class is designed for women and those identified as women.  \n*** Students are expected to be LMT or health care professional licensed to touch breast tissue. If not licensed\, please contact Leslie.  \n*** Students understand that full chest / breasts will be undraped and treated during class. \n*** Per OBMT requirement\, nipples and areolas may be exposed but not touched during treatment sequences. \n*** Professional standards and ethics will be upheld throughout class. Any student not adhering to course rules\, respect\, and standards will be immediately asked to leave the course and will receive neither course credit nor tuition refund.

SUMMARY:Dec 1: FREE Q&A about Bodywork for the Female Pelvic Floor and Integrative Pelvic Bodywork
DESCRIPTION:Join Leslie Stager\, RN\, LMT for a FREE meetup on ZOOM to hear about becoming an Integrative Pelvic Floor Specialist and the class: \nENTERING THE TEMPLE: BODYWORK FOR THE FEMALE PELVIC FLOOR. \nWHEN:   December 1st\, 2024\,  4-5 PM PST/ 7-8PM EST \nWHO is this class for? For bodywork professionals licensed to work internally\, or practitioners who want to learn about their own internal musculature and pelvic energetics for personal or professional reasons. In addition to oral work\, in Oregon\, massage therapists with advanced training are in scope of practice to work on the internal musculature of the pelvic floor–vaginally or rectally. \nWHAT is this work?  \nAfter working externally on the pelvis and belly\, (Leslie has classes in that work as well)\, it may be provident to work on internal pelvic muscles\, including coccygeus\, piriformis\, obturator internus\, and levator ani muscles. This work can help relieve pelvic\, sacral\, hip/lowback/leg pain that has been unrelieved by external work. It also addresses issues of incontinence\, organ prolapse\, as well as general energetic disconnect that develops for many from living in a linear world\, experiencing abuse\, giving birth\, and many other reasons. \nPhysical Therapists are  the most common practitioners who offer this work. However\, LMT’s have the ability to offer a holistic\, nurturing experience with their hands-on musculoskeletal bodywork skills\, and can create a gentle\, thorough session that is generally more comfortable as compared to PT sessions that may tend more toward clinical setting. \nJoin the zoom talk to learn more about this practice and the class\, Meet Leslie Stager\, Ask questions\, and see what it’s all about!

SUMMARY:FREE Q&A about the class Bodywork for the Female Pelvic Floor
DESCRIPTION:Join Leslie Stager\, RN\, LMT to hear about ENTERING THE TEMPLE: BODYWORK FOR THE FEMALE PELVIC FLOOR class in April 2025. -3-4 PM PST: October 7\, 2024 \, or 7-8 PM PST: December 1st\, 2024. \nWHO is this class for? For bodywork professionals licensed to work internally\, or practitioners who want to learn about their own internal musculature and pelvic energetics for personal or professional reasons. In addition to oral work\, in Oregon\, massage therapists with advanced training are in scope of practice to work on the internal musculature of the pelvic floor–vaginally or rectally. \nWHAT is this work? After working externally on the pelvis and belly\, (Leslie has classes in that work as well)\, it may be provident to work on the internal pelvic muscles\, including coccygeus\, piriformis\, obturator internus\, and levator ani muscles. This work can help relieve pelvic\, sacral\, hip/lowback/leg pain that has been unrelieved by external work. It also addresses issues of incontinence\, organ prolapse\, as well as general energetic disconnect that develops for many from living in a linear world\, experiencing abuse\, giving birth\, and many other reasons. \nCome join a zoom talk to learn more about the class\, Meet Leslie Stager\, Ask questions\, and see what it’s all about!

As a labor & delivery nurse I grew aware of the pelvic traumas that many endure and live with after birth\, with few avenues for help. In 2009 I successfully helped a client relieve 80% of her postnatal pelvic pain with one internal pelvic floor bodywork session. Inspired\, I pursued further studies\, including training with Tami Kent PT\, Bryan Baisinger DC\, John Barnes LMT\, Herman & Wallace\, and private studies with PT’s\, DC’s\, and an Osteopath\, Lee Morgan. Currently I have a private practice in Nevada City\, CA. Read more about Leslie. \n APPLICATION FORM

As a labor & delivery nurse I grew aware of the pelvic traumas that many women endure and live with after birth\, with few avenues for help. In 2009 I successfully helped a client relieve 80% of her postnatal pelvic pain with one internal pelvic floor bodywork session. Inspired\, I pursued further studies\, including training with Tami Kent PT\, Bryan Baisinger DC\, John Barnes LMT\, Herman & Wallace\, and private studies with PT’s\, DC’s\, and an Osteopath\, Lee Morgan. Currently I have a private practice in Nevada City\, CA.
