Is Oncology Massage Right for You?
Oncology Massage is designed for individuals at every stage of the cancer journey.
This service may be appropriate if you are:
✓ Currently receiving cancer treatment
✓ Recovering from surgery
✓ Receiving chemotherapy or radiation
✓ Living with chronic cancer-related symptoms
✓ In remission
✓ Looking for gentle, supportive care
✓ Experiencing fatigue or muscle tension
✓ Simply needing time to rest and recharge
What Makes This Massage Different?
Oncology Massage isn't defined by a single technique—it's defined by thoughtful, individualized care.
Before your session, we'll discuss your diagnosis, current treatments, medications, medical devices, and how you're feeling that day. Every aspect of your massage—including positioning, pressure, session pace, and the areas treated—is carefully adapted to support your safety and comfort.
Some days your body may benefit from focused work to ease muscle tension, while other days gentle relaxation may be exactly what you need. Every session is designed around your changing needs, never a predetermined routine.
During Your Session
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your health history, treatment plan, and any symptoms or concerns you'd like to discuss.
Your massage is performed using techniques that are appropriate for your individual situation. Pressure is always gentle to moderate and adjusted based on your comfort, medical history, and how your body is responding.
Supportive cushions, careful positioning, and frequent communication help ensure you remain comfortable throughout your appointment.
Your comfort, dignity, and safety guide every decision during your session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Oncology Massage safe?
When performed by a therapist trained in oncology massage, it can be a safe and beneficial way to promote relaxation and comfort. Every session is carefully adapted to your diagnosis, treatment plan, and current health. If you have any questions about whether massage is appropriate for you, I'm happy to discuss your situation before you schedule.
Will deep pressure be used?
In most cases, no. Oncology Massage uses carefully adapted pressure based on your medical history and how you're feeling that day. The goal isn't deep tissue work—it's providing safe, comfortable care that supports your well-being.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable. You'll be invited to undress only to your own comfort level, and you'll remain covered with a sheet and blanket throughout your session. I only uncover the area I'm actively working on, and your privacy, comfort, and dignity are always respected.
Can I receive massage while undergoing treatment?
Many people can safely receive massage during treatment, but every situation is unique. We'll review your health history, current treatments, and any precautions before your session to ensure your care is appropriate for your individual needs.
How often should I schedule an Oncology Massage?
There isn't one schedule that's right for everyone. Some clients benefit from occasional sessions to promote relaxation and comfort, while others find regular appointments helpful throughout treatment or recovery. Together, we'll determine a schedule that supports your needs, energy level, and overall well-being.
