A story about mammograms…

Can we talk about breast / chest health?

This fall I had my tenth mammogram . Since I have dense tissue I also always have to have an ultrasound. I always go to the same place, b/c I like the rad tech there. (Great providers make a difference!)

Qi Gong movement for Winter Yin
Kiera Nagle Kiera Nagle

Qi Gong movement for Winter Yin

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the winter season (also the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder) correspond to the Water element of the 5 element theory. The winter is the most Yin (dark, earth, female, receptive) time of the year. The Qi (Chi) flows deeply into the body, which supports the Kidneys. This is a time of rest and consolidating the energy that will be needed for the Spring and the season of growth and renewal. To be healthy, we strive to be in harmony with the seasons.

Lactation Counseling at MaMassage Brooklyn

When you are pregnant, the time can be used for you (and if relevant, your partner) to learn about the benefits of lactation and tools for success. It can be a time to ask questions, express concerns, and get support. Once your baby is born, an early counseling session can help to ensure that you begin the process of nursing with optimal practices for comfort and sustainability. Counseling services may also be booked if an issue or concern arises at any time during the nursing process. Evidence supports that working with a CLC can increase likelihood of initiating and sustaining lactation.
