Abby Girouard, our new Oncology Massage Therapist
Compassion Massage is excited to announce the third addition to our Oncology Massage Therapist team. On September 15-18, our therapist Abby Girouard, attended Tracy Walton's "Oncology Massage Therapy: Caring for Clients with Cancer"; a 4-day intensive course in Boston.
She met with other health professionals and learned how to
work safely and effectively with people with cancer and cancer histories.
"I learned how to approach and help all kinds of people dealing with cancer. From those who have just been diagnosed to those at the end of life stages who just need comfort and compassion."
Tracy Walton is an award winning educator, researcher and specialist in massage therapy and cancer care.
In massage therapy, we show up and ask, in so many ways, what it is like to be another human being. In doing so, we build a bridge that may heal us both.
--Tracy Walton, "The Health History of a Human Being," Massage Therapy Journal, Winter 1999.
