Cancer Support
Just as each person is unique and must be treated that way, so too is that person’s cancer. In my work with cancer patients, I strive to
- improve their general health
- strengthen their body before the cancer treatment
- help reduce side effects of chemo or radiation therapy
- speed up their recovery
Herbal and nutritional medicine, alongside a well-balanced diet and healthy lifestyle can greatly improve the quality of life for a cancer patient.
Aside from a treatment plan that I recommend as a path to wellness, I am acutely aware of another need that in my opinion is equally important – the need for comfort and support.
I strongly believe in the healing power of touch, and often recommend regular massage treatments during which I use a unique blend of essential oils that is uplifting and healing
In my experience, most family members feel frustrated, not knowing how they can help their loved one. I like to encourage family and friends to be actively involved in the healing process by showing them simple techniques, such as shoulder/neck, hand and foot massages, that can be used in their home.
I also believe it is important to inform the medical support team about the patient’s herbal and nutritional treatment, with the aim to promote a cooperative relationship.
