Your first visit

  1. Lived-experience conversation

    A safe, unhurried space to share your symptoms, medical journey, and fears.

  2. Gentle thoracic & scar assessment

    For in-person sessions, Sharon evaluates ribcage excursion, scar mobility, and lymph nodes.

  3. Therapeutic touch

    Very light fascial and lymphatic techniques designed to encourage circulation without aggravating delicate tissue.

  4. Home recovery tools

    Non-invasive scar care, castor oil pack guidance, and gentle breathing exercises.

  5. Continuing encouragement

    Ongoing connection as your body gradually rediscovers its natural equilibrium.

What to expect during recovery

Tissue recovery after explant takes time. Sharon supports your body's innate wisdom with patience and non-invasive methods.

Honor your emotional process

Surgical recovery often brings deep emotional relief alongside moments of vulnerability.

Gentle lymphatic self-touch

Sharon will teach you light neck and axillary sweeps to do safely at home.

Avoid premature heavy strain

Protect pectoral muscles and surgical sites while tissues rebuild structural integrity.

Nourish cellular repair

Prioritize collagen-supporting minerals, clean hydration, and quality sleep.

“Sharon has a lovely manner and is very knowledgeable and informative.”

Questions about this treatment

Light lymphatic work away from the incision sites can often begin several weeks post-op with your surgeon's clearance. Direct scar mobilization usually begins once incisions are completely closed and stable.
