How do you find your therapists?

The simple answer is, “We don’t find them. We cultivate them.” Healwell therapists come from a variety of backgrounds within and beyond healthcare and from various forms of practice within the discipline of massage therapy. Many of the members of our team come to us with years of experience. All of the therapists who work with Healwell have hundreds of hours of advanced training beyond their foundational massage education. They have learned and share our commitment to clinical excellence, deep humanity, and the willingness to travel the path of the people we serve in a capacity that goes beyond what is typically expected of massage therapists. We are partners in the healing process, whether that is an end of life process, recovery from an acute injury, or the management of chronic illness.

Oncology massage is the modification of massage therapy to safely work with the effects of cancer and cancer treatment. Everyone affected by cancer — people in active treatment, those in recovery or survivorship, those at the end of life, and even caregivers — can benefit from oncology massage.
