You may find the following healing therapies helpful during and after your cancer treatment.
Healing therapies consultation
During a healing therapies consultation you will be able to learn about different modalities to assist you in your treatment. Examples of healing therapies include acupuncture, herbs and supplements, supportive care programs, exercise programs, massage, energy work and many more. During the consultation we will discuss which options are right for you and provide a list of providers in your community.
Reiki
Reiki is an energy therapy that promotes healing. There is evidence that Reiki may reduce stress, decrease the need for pain medication, improve sleep and appetite, and accelerate the healing process. During a session, the patient remains clothed and the practitioner's hands lightly touch various parts of the body, including areas around the head, shoulders, stomach, legs, and feet. Most patients report feelings of relaxation.

Learn new ways to help reduce stress, tension and anxiety. Techniques include but are not limited to, meditation, guided imagery and breathing exercises.
