Oncology Massage

Massage for People Living with Cancer is a relaxing, therapeutic massage for people currently living with cancer or people who have previously had cancer.  As a massage therapist certified in oncology massage, I begin with a thorough intake of the client’s cancer journey.  Then I review the client’s cancer treatments, side effects, and symptoms, and pay special consideration to any contraindications in order to prevent lymphedema or over-burdening the client’s immune system. 

Can massage help you?

While massage cannot cure cancer, it can be helpful in many ways, including reducing pain, nausea, insomnia, anxiety and depression, as well as a host of other benefits.  Most importantly, massage helps people undergoing cancer treatments to let go of physical and mental stress in order to relax and feel good in their body.
