The Breast Well

Breast/Chest Lymphatic Health Care & Education Hub

Welcome to The Breast Well — 2026

A collective of hands-on practitioners and educators dedicated to supporting holistic breast/chest and lymphatic health for all bodies. We endeavor to support the transformation of fear around breast health into self knowledge, empowerment, and practical, powerful embodiment. We offer this service through experienced assessment, nourishing massage, somatic care, and accessible self-care tools to help you reconnect with this vital part of your body.

Our Lineage

The Breast Well is rooted in the teachings of DeAnna Batdorff—founder of the dhyana Center, creator of The Areola, and a trailblazer in Ayurveda, Western Herbalism, and lymphatic clinical care for over 40 years. Her work forms the foundation of our training and approach.

Stewardship of this lineage at Spirit Weavers has been held by
Jana Cruder, Anja Robinson, Rachel Rodriguez, and later Abigail Hinds, and continues to evolve today as The Breast Well.

Practitioner Lead

‘It is an endless joy and honor to approach those who arrive on my table, and their dynamic constitutions, with openness and witness, striving to meet their needs where they are at. I tend and utilize a nourishing tool kit of potent and effective techniques to restore balance and support the growth of empowered and informed self care beyond my table.

 

I am a CMT of ten years practice, a continual student of the integrated lineages carried and taught by DeAnna Batdorff. I am a devoted daughter of the land of the Cailleach and Bodach, and a singer for bridge building, through story and song. I am gratefully returning to Spirit Weavers for both Sun and Moon, and will be teaching Breast/Chest health practice at Sun Session.’

JANA CRUDER

Co-Founder, Support

I believe the body holds its own medicine. My work is rooted in the understanding that mind, body, and spirit heal through integration, and that each person carries the key to their own balance. For over a decade, I’ve supported individuals in unraveling the root causes of imbalance—from hormonal and digestive issues to breast health, chronic conditions, and immune challenges.

 

Since 2016, I’ve offered holistic breast checks, lymphatic breast massage, and education at gatherings such as Spiritweavers, Gaia Gathering, and Matriarch Rising, supporting hundreds of women in reconnecting with their breast and lymphatic health.

 

I am an ordained minister, Gerson-trained detox therapist, graduate of The dhyana School of Ayurveda under DeAnna Batdorff, and an IAKP-certified Kambo practitioner. My background weaves Ayurveda, lymphatic therapy, detoxification, and plant medicine into a whole-body approach. I hold safe, intentional spaces for private healing sessions and multi-day integrative retreats combining detox, lymphatic bodywork, and plant medicine.
