Aloha Indiegogo Viewers, 

A note to MEN supporters: Although this campaign reaches to women primarily, it is also about creating awareness on a global level and educating the community and that means MEN, we need your help and that men can get Breast Cancer too! Men, you are our biggest support, as women often are encouraged by the men in their lives and men care about the health of their significant women. Donate and give a PERK to someone you care about and learn why lymphatic drainage could be important in your health.

A note to WOMEN supporters: This campaign is for ALL WOMEN. Whether you are seeking to learn about how to maintain healthy breast tissue, know a friend who is going through Breast Cancer or to create a social buzz about a fresh, natural approach to keeping healthy breasts, any donation, of any amount will benefit! THANK YOU!

Story- Hi! My name is Jennifer A. Telford CMT, CWC, (branding as Jennifer Andrea) massage therapist and women's personal development coach, and speaker for Ho’ano. Ho'ano is a Hawaiian word that means to 'Make Your Vision a Reality'. For the past 12 years I have provided education and services for women specializing in lymphatic treatments in the context of breast care. (Lymphatic Drainage treatments are a manual technique to the body that enhances fluid circulation and helps to rid the body of waste material, builds the immunity and can provide an effective treatment as a preventative approach and as a support to women recovering from lifesaving breast surgeries). We are taught to detect breast cancer, but what about knowledge and tools in how we can maintain the health of breast tissue. For about 3 years I have had a You Tube video showing women how to do their own lymphatic based self massage for breast health. So many women say to me 'Why don't they teach this to us?' As these techniques help rejuvenate the lymphatic system in eliminating the breasts of unwanted toxins, which may provide a measure against breast cancer.

Learn more about the benefits and technique of lymphatic based massage for breast health.

In 1998, inspired by the passion to help women in acknowledging and giving care to their breasts, I formulated an organic body care blend called Breast Caress Body Oil which has been endorsed by a leading naturopath, Dr. Laurie Steelsmith from Hawaii. The global message that the product inspires is self awareness and education of the importance of a women's self nurturing and to teach women the benefits of a lymphatic based self massage in maintaining breast health. My wish is that this message and education will reach to the masses and become a credible and accepted modality used by women to promote healthy breast tissue.

My work over the years has extended to support women undergoing or post op recovery from breast cancer as lymphatic treatments are beneficial for women who are at risk for lymphedema after breast cancery surgery and to alleviate swelling and discomforts after breast surgery. . 

Join the Ho'ano mission to create a new paradigm regarding how to keep healthy breasts through preventative tools through empowering women with knowledgle that Breasts need circulation for optimal health and that imbalances in our emotional being (women's inability to self nurture) may have an effect on the health of our breasts. By empowering ourselves with a fresh, natural approach in supporting our emotional and lymphatic health, we might be able to provide a measure against Breast Cancer and support women who have gone through Breast Cancer as a preventative towards lymphedema, and to promote healing through personal self awarenss in their physical and emotional recovery after surgery.  

The Needs and Where Money Will GoAdvanced Training and Media Visibility

TO COVER PHASE I and II

Advanced Training-

There are a variety of lymphatic modalities available to health practitioners.  I have taken Lymph Drainage Therapy with Dr. Bruno Chikly through the Upledger Institute back in 2002. However, I would like to also be knowledgable in the original lymphatic technique call Manual Lymph Drainage Vodder Technique, as it is the more commonly used therapy in hospitals and wellness centers, in the US and abroad and is a required course for my mentorship opportunities. Further, receiving this education will enable me to fulfill my continuing education requirements, hone my skills, and refresh my understanding of the lymphatic system as new information is always evolving. By taking advanced training in MLD, I will have an awareness and knowledge of this modality, which will provide more opportunities, mentorship and to develop a dialogue with practitioners and surgeons, hospitals and wellness centers locally and abroad; Australia and Europe. I will be able to offer women more knowledge, service and education in prevention and support and eventually create a wellness center with trained therapist and other educational tools to help women.

Currently, there are 2 phases to my fundraising efforts for advanced training:

Phase I: (THIS CLASS HAS PASSED AND DIDNT RAISE ENOUGH MONEY. I AM CURRENTLY FOREGOING PHASE I UNTIL LATER NOTICE AND FOCUSING SOLELY ON PHASE II and III of this CAMPAIGN). YOUR SUPPORT WILL GO TO PHASE II and III.

Phase II: Media Visibility

Aside to the advanced training, I am also seeking funding for Media Visibility through a series of videos that I can put on You Tube, speaking engagements to layperson and professionals (to fund expenses for my Booby Talk presentations), networking and creating visibilty as a group with other practitioners doing similar work, radio/or wellness programs.

Media visibility will educate women and the community in how these lymphatic and massage techniques and creating awareness/offering tools to support of healing from toxic relationships, cultivating self love by taking care of our emotional health and wellbeing may offer women a preventative, fresh natural approach to keeping healthy breast tissue. In addition, to support women going through breast cancer as an opportunity for personal transformation in their spiritual and emotional growth

$2000 Media Visibility - Videos Series, Speaking Engagements/Events, Radio/TV /Marketing

$1500 to rollover into Phase III and IV

Phase III: Sacred Esoteric Healing and Media Visibility- To travel to Australia to take Sacred Esoteric Healing and Esoteric Breast Massage with Serge Benhayon in providing energetic healing for women at www.universalmedicine.com.au. This course takes 2-4 years and will need ongoing support. I would also like to interview and/or work/speak at Olivia Newton John's Cancer and Wellness Center. I have had correspondance with her about delivering this education out to the mainstream. My interactions will also help to fulfill Phase IV which will include interviews in creating a film documentary. Cost for travel, classes, food estimate at 5000.

Phase IV: 

In the future, I will be developing more ideas of getting this work out to the mainstream. As they unfold, you will be kept abreast of the information and will be seeking support through celebrities, investors and beneficiaries. i.e, a center in Los Angeles, travel documentary for a film/tv appearance, research study, live appearance of group of professionals on talk show, books and media products.

 

Impact - 

"Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers. About 1 in 8 (12%) women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.

The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in the United States are for 2013:

  • About 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
  • About 64,640 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
  • About 39,620 women will die from breast cancer."

Excerpt Taken from the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY WEBSITE

2. How your contribution will help women: Your support in receiving advanced training and media visibility will allow me to be a vessel of knowledge and service to empower women and teach the community (men, women and health professionals) a holistic way we can support the health of breasts preventatively and support women who are currently undergoing breast cancer or recovery.

3. The impact is HUGE and will enable a new global paradigm of how we think about, perceive and take care of our breasts, that extends to an understanding of knowledge of the basic structure and function of breast tissue; breasts need circulation for optimal health, and by empowering women in creating awareness of reducing stress hormones in our emotional health, we may be able to provide a measure against and continue to support women of the benefits of lymphatic treatments for those recovering from cancer.
