S2 E4 MotherFood: Breast Health Special with Rachelle Poitras

This week sees the end of the Breast cancer awareness month, and to mark that important initiative I am sharing a very special episode with you today. It features Rachelle Poitras who is a holistic breast health expert. I absolutely love Rachelle’s insight and just the very idea of holistic breast health which hasn’t really crossed my mind, it struck a cord with me straight away. Truly holistic in her outlook on breast health Rachelle considers all aspects from lifestyle to mind set and nutrition. In this episode we discuss our relationship to our breasts and what breast health really means. We look at how we are socialised as women based on our breast size, we consider the emotional and spiritual aspect of our connection to our chests, and we look in-depth into hormone health and nutrition. We discuss how we can nourish and nurture ourselves inside and out with tips on supplements, foods, breast masks and tinctures and Rachelle also shares a beautiful practise of a breast massage. The most amazing thing that I took away from this conversation is a realisation that by taking care of our breast in a truly holistic way we take care of our body, mind and spirit. They really are an amazing portal to our wellbeing as women.
