Breast Phluffing, Lymph, and Self-Love: A Gentle Guide to Breast Care | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Dr. Stephanie is going tender and practical. This solo episode isn’t medical advice—it’s a heartfelt walk through our relationship with our breasts, how the lymphatic system supports breast Health, and a simple self-care practice you can start today: breast “phluffing.”

Stephanie unpacks cultural pressure and self-talk, then shifts into clear, accessible basics on lymph flow (what it is, where it goes, why movement, hydration, posture, and deep breathing matter). She also introduces PHLUFF—Personal Hand Lymphatic Undulation Flow Facilitation—a light, loving technique popularized by nurse-educator Cheryl Chapman. You’ll learn gentle tapping under the armpit and soft circular motions upward toward the axilla—no digging, no pain—just mindful care.

This one’s about kindness, body literacy, and giving your chest the love it deserves. Long live the tatas. 💗

Stephanie Wautier Dr. Stephanie, BSN, RN, DC

I am a wife and mother and began my professional career as a Registered Nurse. I went back to school to become a Chiropractor at age 30 and that is where my heart has been. I have the gift of co-owning a MedSpa and I get to use my nursing background as an injector in this arena. I started my podcast, Conversations with a Chiropractor, because I had been listening to my patients tell me stories of their lives for 20 years and due to HIPPA I could never tell anyone these tales. I thought, "but wait, my patients can tell their own stories! In their own voices!" And that is how my podcast began, I wanted to honor and document the living history among us. My podcast has morphed into a place where people can share their triumphs, their healing journeys or other healers can share a different perspective on what it means to be healthy and give us options to make ourselves healthier!
