Let's talk about cancer-related fatigue.

For many navigating a cancer journey, the fatigue is one of the most challenging side effects. It's a profound, persistent exhaustion that sleep doesn't seem to fix, and it can significantly impact one's quality of life.

There is support available. Specialized Oncology Massage is a safe, gentle, and effective way to help manage these symptoms.

How does it work?
Oncology Massage isn't about deep pressure. It's a customized approach designed to soothe your body and mind. A session can help:

Calm an over-stimulated nervous system, giving your body a chance to truly rest and renew.

Improve sleep quality by reducing the anxiety and discomfort that can keep you awake.

Provide emotional and mental relief, offering a quiet space to reconnect with your body in a positive, nurturing way.

As an Oncology Massage therapist, I understand the specific needs of clients undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. Every single session is adapted to what is safe and supportive for YOU on that particular day.

Your well-being is my purpose. If you're feeling depleted and overwhelmed by fatigue, gentle, knowledgeable touch can make a world of difference.

Do you have questions about whether this is right for you or a loved one? Please feel free to ask in the comments or send me a private message.

Ever feel like you're constantly "on alert"? For those navigating a cancer journey—and for their dedicated caregivers and many others —this feeling is all too common. It’s a state of being that can be truly exhausting.

There's a reason for this. Our body has two main operating modes for its nervous system:

🚗 The Gas Pedal (Fight-or-Flight): This is our stress response. It’s essential for emergencies, but when we're stuck in this mode long-term, it can impact our body's ability to repair itself.

🛑 The Brake Pedal (Rest-and-Heal): This is the calm state where healing happens. Officially known as the parasympathetic nervous system, activating this mode tells your body it is safe. It allows the body to promote functions essential for healing, such as cellular growth and restoration.

Shifting into that calm "rest-and-heal" state isn't just a feeling. It’s a physiological change that allows the body to:

✨ Promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
✨ Support the immune system and help reduce inflammation.
✨ Lower blood pressure and heart rate.
✨ Ease the heavy burden of anxiety.

At the heart of my practice, both Oncology Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage use specific, gentle techniques with one primary goal: to actively engage your parasympathetic nervous system. This deliberate, soothing touch is a powerful, non-invasive way to help the body shift out of the stressful 'fight-or-flight' mode. Think of it as a key that unlocks your body's own innate ability to heal itself by creating the optimal internal environment for recovery.

Whether for yourself or for a mother, father, or friend you love, giving the gift of a regulated nervous system is a powerful act of care.

Fighting cancer is hard enough. The lingering nerve pain, tingling, or numbness that can follow chemotherapy doesn't have to be a battle you face alone.

My name is Guinia, and as a massage therapist specially trained in Oncology Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage, I help clients manage the symptoms of Chemo-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN).

Using light-touch techniques, we can:

✨ Soothe over-stimulated nerves: Calming the "pins and needles" and burning sensations.
💧 Reduce inflammation: Gently encouraging fluid movement, which can ease pressure on nerves.
❤️ Improve circulation: Bringing warmth and blood flow back to numb areas in the hands and feet.

This is not a deep tissue massage. It's a quiet, supportive therapy designed entirely around your safety, comfort, and specific needs as a cancer patient or survivor. My goal is to provide a safe space where your body can relax and find relief.

If you're struggling with the discomfort of CIPN, please don't hesitate to reach out.

➡️ Curious to learn more? Send me a direct message (DM) right here on [Instagram/Facebook], or tap the link in my bio to call or schedule a consultation. I would be honored to answer your questions and see how I can support you on your wellness journey.

It's always important to consult with your oncology team before starting any new supportive care.
