What Women Say...
The Ageless Wisdom, on which this modality is based, teaches us that the way we live our lives affects our health, and in a very deep way. It presents that all our actions and the quality in our body, are energy first, before they are physical. Having an understanding of this energetic aspect has helped many women to connect more to themselves and to take much deeper care of themselves – to deeply love themselves and to bring that depth of love to others. Those women, some of whom speak on this site, talk of their own experience. Through the nurturing experience of the Esoteric Breast Massage they have chosen to reawaken that natural quality in themselves, and they have noticed a change in the way they feel, as well as physically, as a result.
Over time having regular EBMs changed the way I cared for myself. I went from being a self-sacrificing mother, partner and nurse, to a woman who has reclaimed her self-worth, enabling me to make space to care for and nurture myself, and inspire others from this more nurturing foundation.

As a registered nurse with over thirty-five years experience and Childbirth Educator who has supported hundreds of women and as a woman who has personally received Esoteric Breast Massages, I can wholeheartedly share that I have found this modality to be deeply supportive and have seen first hand how it has benefitted others.
I have observed that many women including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding and who are experiencing breast cancer seem to have lost connection to their breasts as belonging to them and struggling to truly care for themselves. This observation has only been possible with my own realisation that I had no idea how to care for myself. I had no connection to my breasts as anything other than objects either to be used in my sexual relationship or to feed my seven babies. I had no sense of the delicate quality and the profound significance of this area of my body.
With the experience of committing to regular Esoteric Breast Massages I have found that how I feel about my breasts is an important part of how I feel about myself as a woman. It has greatly supported me to actually make myself a priority in my busy life.
What I have discovered is that my breasts, which I thought were about nurturing and giving to others, are actually connected to nurturing myself.
Remarkably and at times surprisingly each EBM, which is lovingly and respectfully performed, offered me the space to surrender more to what I felt was true inside of me, instead of who I thought I should be.
Over time, this changed the way I cared for myself. I went from being a self-sacrificing mother, partner and nurse, to a woman who has reclaimed her self-worth, enabling me to make space to care for and nurture myself, and inspire others from this more nurturing foundation.
From my own understanding of the incredible impact the Esoteric Breast Massage has had in my own life and what I have observed in the women I have professionally engaged with, I feel the EBM is a very safe, gentle and supportive modality that can truly change the way a woman feels about herself as a woman, her breasts and her ability to deeply care and nurture herself.
Overall the Esoteric Breast Massage has allowed me to grow into the woman I’ve always wanted to be, to build a relationship with myself where I actually value myself and supported me to drop old behaviours and patterns that I’ve been wanting to drop for years but could never sustain in the past.

Fiona says...
Esoteric Breast Massage has been one of the most profound experiences I have ever experienced as a woman. It has allowed me to reconnect to the innate woman I am inside, the part of me that has always been there but the part that I dismissed for such a long time.
What does that mean exactly? Well for me, over the two years I have been receiving EBMs I have grown in self-confidence and self-esteem. I have a greater sense of the woman I am. I have gone from a woman who was ruled by self-doubt to a woman who trusts her own feelings – looking from the outside you could say I am more comfortable in my own skin. I’ve started to build a relationship with myself and my body that has shifted from the negative thoughts I grew up with such as – “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not pretty enough”, “I don’t like my body shape” to valuing and appreciating myself. I no longer want to, or feel I need to change to fit in to the world but instead feel content to be me in the world. This change in attitude has supported my levels of anxiety and nervousness to drop away. For years I felt like a girl living in a woman’s body and now I feel like a woman in a woman’s body.
What’s involved? When I first heard of EBMs I didn’t think it was strange at all, in fact it made sense to me that as women some of our deepest emotional wounds would be held in this area. The only concern I had was how is it going to happen? Esoteric Breast Massage is a modality solely for women, carried out by women only. In all my EBM sessions and there have been many, I have never received or experienced any inappropriate or misconstrued behaviour during this time. Instead I have only ever been offered a level of love, respect and care that I have generally not even given myself in the past. This level of care and respect has been so genuinely felt by me that this in itself has been one of the greatest gifts of the EBM and has allowed me an opportunity to actually see that I am worth the level of care the practitioners demonstrate towards me and given me the inspiration to start to treat myself in the same way.
Overall the Esoteric Breast Massage has allowed me to grow into the woman I’ve always wanted to be, to build a relationship with myself where I actually value myself and supported me to drop old behaviours and patterns that I’ve been wanting to drop for years but could never sustain in the past. For the first time in my life I can say I truly feel alive, connected and happy to be me – a woman in the world today.
To the outside world things looked great and most people would not have guessed that anything was other than rosy: I was in a good marriage, I had a good home, and a reasonable income. I take care of my looks and I dress well, and have good friendships. So why the lack of self-worth then?

Janine says...
I started having regular Esoteric Breast Massages quite recently. My first EBM session was nothing short of game changing. It absolutely blew me away. In that hour I felt a depth and a divine connection that I had not felt before. I walked away with a true understanding of the potential of what is inside me to be and express, this was my first real taste of the depth of worth I can have as a woman.
I have struggled with self-esteem and self-worth issues for most of my life, and in later years had developed body issues, experiencing bulimia and then weight gain that I was unable to shift.
My body issues, weight gain and bulimia without doubt stemmed from my lack of self-worth, which at times even felt like an intense hatred or loathing of myself.
To the outside world things looked great and most people would not have guessed that anything was other than rosy: I was in a good marriage, I had a good home, and a reasonable income. I take care of my looks and I dress well, and have good friendships. So why the lack of self-worth then?
Well, if you’ve ever struggled with these kinds of issues you will know that invariably they start in your younger developmental years. Life at home and at school and the choices we make at those times play a great part in how we feel about ourself and whether we put a guard up and pretend that everything is rosy . . . when on the inside it is not. For me it wasn’t so much a guard as a great big reinforced triple iron wall.
The healing work I had done helped me break this down, allowing me to be myself with more ease and truly start to really dig the person I am. Bit by bit, I have felt safe to come out and play, however I still seemed to get stuck when it came to acknowledging my worth as a woman. The idea of letting this strength be seen, and fully claiming it, seemed to make me run a mile.
I have had four EBM sessions now, and with each treatment I allow myself to go deeper, to let my true beauty and joy reveal itself a bit more. Please do not mistake my use of the words beauty and joy as some hippy trippy representation, I don’t walk out dancing among the flowers, singing to birds and insects, with my hair flying in the wind, (although inside I do feel that way). Rather I leave each session with an incredible strength that holds me with purpose and I feel the uncertainty melting away leaving space to embrace my unique expression as a woman.
At work this means that I have more confidence in my relationships because I can speak to people with a solidness that says, “I know who I am and what I offer, here it is if you wish to take it”. It means that I can feel when something is true or when it feels off. It means that I am able to discern a true feeling rather than an emotional reaction. It means that if a voice comes into my head that doesn’t come from love, I can shut it down without reacting to it, leaving me free to focus my energy on my purpose. These aspects are all being developed and are the basis of my self-worth because in living life in this way I do not get caught up in the drama of self-pity.
I am so glad that I have started making the Esoteric Breast Massage a regular part of my life, and appreciate the huge shifts they have made for me, my life and the lives of those around me.
