2-Year Pilot Program

Introducing our new partner, the Society for Oncology Esthetics (S4OE)

The S4OM Board was approached by a non-profit organization focused on oncology esthetics, proposing a collaboration with S4OM. This affiliation will allow us to combine our expertise, resources, and shared commitment to enhancing cancer patient care. This organization will now be known as the Society for Oncology Esthetics (S4OE). Follow the podcast link below to meet Becky Kuehn, one of the leading esthetics educators and to learn more about the field of oncology esthetics.

Oncology Massage and Esthetic Services are Part of Cancer Care

Oncology Massage and Oncology Esthetics are not techniques. They are comprehensive approaches to care that involve thorough assessment and adjustments made by the therapist to standard techniques.

"All through my diagnosis and treatment, the only time someone touched me and it didn't hurt was on the massage table. It was like an oasis in the desert."

"As soon as I had a surgery date, I started going in tighter and tighter circles. [Massage] was a big help in being relaxed, but ready when the day came."

"[Massage] was a great way to get through the stress of chemotherapy."

"We scheduled a massage a day or two before each chemo. That way my mind and body were looking forward to the massage, not to the chemo."

"I not only felt relief from the taxing effects of chemo and the debilitating muscle/bone ache, I ended up feeling an overwhelming sense of peace."

You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.
