Massage Therapy

The Foundation for Integrative Oncology utilizes Mindy Zimmerman, NCTMB, a highly skilled massage therapist with 15 years of experience working with those challenged with cancer and other acute illnesses.  Her work is especially effective for people with stress in their lives as well as those with acute and chronic pain.  Her approach to the body is looking at the system as a whole.  By working to determine what the original root of the physical discomfort is, she uses different massage modalities, and works through the whole system releasing the tissue and quieting the active mind.

A nurturing body work session is a way to relax and to connect to the body and to the spirit.  As tension leaves the body, the active mind is quieted and a sense of physical, emotional, and sprititual well-being has an opportunity to develop. 

The intention of massage therapy is to:
• Relieve physical discomforts
• Reduce fatigue, stress, anxiety and depression
• Balance your energy within your body
• Increase sensory, emotional, and spiritual awareness
• Promote healing and improves mood
• Strengthen the communication and connection between your body and spirit.
