Statistics show that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will have cancer in their lifetime. In today's world, unfortunately, most of us have already been touched by cancer in some way. It might be a family member, a friend, a colleague, or even yourself. 

Oncology trained integrative services are available! These services include massage therapy, esthetics, acupuncture, reflexology, yoga, pilates, craniosacral therapy, nutrition, and many more.

It is imperative to seek a professional practitioner who has been trained specifically for oncology care within their modality. The human body changes when faced with cancer and while undergoing treatments.  Some of these treatments can have temporary or lifelong affects.  With oncology training, you can rest assured that the practitioner is ready to treat each individual based on their unique situation at every visit.

Oncology Massage Therapy

Oncology Massage is a therapeutic massage adapted specifically for people who have, or have had, cancer. Massage can be very beneficial in helping the client to feel better on their healing journey. 

It has been proven that massage for people with cancer can decrease:

 pain

fatigue

 nausea

depression and anxiety

 There are many considerations a practitioner must make for individuals who have, or have had cancer.  We take every diagnosis and treatment the client has had or will be receiving into regard and have a very thorough consultation to ensure the client will have the best and safest massage possible. Seeing a practitioner with specialized training in oncology massage is of great importance.  We can provide a comfortable, safe, therapeutic massage to ease discomfort of the body, mind, and spirit.  Please reach out to Melissa if you have any questions.  She will be happy to have a conversation with you.
