This isn’t a spa facial.
It’s clinical skill wrapped in calm.

Our Signature Facial Massage is a fully customized treatment that combines lymphatic techniques, sculpting, and therapeutic facial work with soothing head, neck, and shoulder massage.

Delivered exclusively by Registered Massage Therapists trained in lymphedema management, it’s especially supportive for those recovering from cancer treatment or living with lymphatic conditions.

We use organic, cruelty-free products from Skin Essence Organics to nourish sensitive skin — because what goes on your skin matters too.

We are so excited to be welcoming our newest student, Joanna, to our team for the next 5 weeks!!

I am delighted to be joining the team at the Ottawa Cancer and Lymphatics Centre for a five-week physiotherapy internship beginning February 5th. I am currently in my second and final year of the Master of Health Sciences in Physiotherapy program at the University of Ottawa.

I am passionate about supporting individuals in their recovery from injury or disease and in achieving their personal goals through a patient-centered approach. I look forward to further developing my skills and understanding of oncology and lymphatic rehabilitation during my placement at OCLC.

Outside of my studies, I coach equestrian riders and enjoy spending time with my three horses. I look forward to connecting with patients and the OCLC community during my time at the clinic.

Nutrition plays a powerful role in healing, energy, and long-term recovery after cancer.

At OCLC, our dietitian supports patients with individualized nutrition care before, during, and after treatment.
