Oncology Rehab
Our goal for you: better than ever!
I offer a custom, whole body, integrated cancer recovery support program.
A cancer diagnosis is a life changing event not only affecting you as but also family and friends. I know all this too well, because I have been there as a breast cancer survivor x2 and most recently a rare form of throat cancer. I know those emotional ups and downs, pain and limitations. I have designed a program that looks at where you are in your treatment and progress you “to get your life back” and help you grow stronger and better than ever!
I have experience working with a wide range of cancer diagnoses, including Breast, Colon, Leukemia, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Brain, Head and Neck and Ovarian and more.
I offer 1:1 and small group instruction.

“Integrated Mind and Body is a warm, comfortable and well-equipped environment. My range of motion significantly improved in a matter of weeks due to their patience with my body
and knowledge of my condition. The scar tissue massages have helped tremendously! And I thought I was alone with “Chemo Brain” until I learned about the mind strengthening activities that I could try. I’m so glad to be a patient here! ”
