Hi all,

I have a question about a session I had yesterday with a client with
breasrt cancer, and am looking for advice.

Jane Doe has 3 weeks of radiation to go (5x/wk) for her breast cancer. From the previous 24 sessions, she has red, burned/irritated skin, a few tiny blisters, sensativity, itchiness....

Her primary reason for wanting the massage was "stiffness in neck due to
restrictive position on radiation table." She gets strapped down with a
face strap, her head tilted back... read more

EndUp was awesome - DJ, Drummers, crowd, water falls, sweat - all rocked. The only down side was my knee pain after a couple hours of dancing.

about me
I am a self-employed certified/licensed Massage Therapist with a focus on working with people with cancer prior to, during, and post treatments, pregnant women, scar tissue and trauma and abdominal massage. (I am also a Doula (birthing assistant)). I co- run Yoga & Massage urban get-aways as part of Uma and Ama's Almost Famous Traveling Northern California Wellness Retreat Series. I am also a property manager for a vacation home in Truckee, North Lake Tahoe, and a distributer for MXI Corp's Xocai Healthy Chocolate products.

I love being in nature whether on a killer hike or asleep on a blanket in the sun. I spend most of my free time eating with friends and always looking to do fun things. Love to dance, sing in the shower (I've had dreams of being a karaoke queen but have stage fright), love being sensual and sexual with people I know and trust, romantic comedies make my night, as does vegan ice cream with chocolate sauce.
