* Cancer Massage

"Oncology massage is the adaptation of massage to safely nurture body, mind, and spirit of anyone dealing with cancer."   S4OM

Cancer/Oncology massage is a practice of specialized massage techniques along with care and compassion. As a cancer massage specialist, I am privileged to help people wherever they may be in their journey with cancer. I specialize in massage and bodywork for those in any phase of the diagnosis, treatment, or recovery stage of cancer. With my specialized training and experience, I am able to address many cancer-related issues such as the physical consequences of cancer, side effects of various treatments as well as the social and emotional consequences of cancer.

Current scientific research supports that cancer massage helps improve quality of life. Other benefits include improved relaxation, sleep, and immune function as well as relieving anxiety pain, fatigue, and nausea.

All sessions are 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your particular needs. Special positioning and techniques are used to accommodate any physical issues or limitations. If you are unable to come to my office, sessions can take place in the comfort of your home.

For many cancer patients, touch is associated with pain and discomfort. Cancer massage is nurturing, calming and soothing. It provides a safe space.

I am a proud member of the Society for Oncology Massage, an organization founded to ease the journey through cancer and beyond for patients, family members and caregivers.

"Jenn's Oncology/Cancer massage is amazing! Two weeks after my surgery for ovarian cancer, Jenn came to my home because I could not even stand up straight. My back muscles were very tight and painful and my whole body ached. After my massage, I was finally able to relax. Jenn has just the right touch for working out soreness and muscle pain. Throughout my chemo treatments, the massages have helped with the fatigue, nausea, muscle and joint pain, and the all-over body aches and pains. Jenn is very knowledgeable about chemo treatments and what to do to alleviate the side effects. I would recommend her to anyone who is going through any kind of cancer treatment. Thanks, Jenn, you are awesome!!"         Joanne H.
