The power of touch is incredible 💜

Hand Massage for Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy as Outpatients: A Pilot Study conducted in the Integrative Medicine and Health section of the Division of General Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Positive results from this 2017 pilot study showing a significant improvement after hand massage was indicated for fatigue, anxiety, muscular discomfort, nervousness, stress, happiness, energy, relaxation, calmness and emotional well-being. Pain scores also showed an improvement but this was not statistically significant.

All patients indicated that they would recommend hand massage to other patients and 37 of the 40 participants were interested in receiving it during their next chemotherapy treatment.

My goofy red Labrador always knows how to get me to slow down, sit and pause for a bit 😌 And honestly, he doesn't let me have a say in the matter! This lab thinks he's a lap dog 😳😆

A little secret about me: I experience anxiety. Control and time can be major stressors. To cope, I use strategies to organise my day to help me stay calm - for my own well-being and to avoid passing on my stress to others. That's why I allow time between treatments.

As I reflect on 2025, I’m grateful for the steady growth of my small business and for the incredible clients who have supported me along the way.

Thank you to everyone who booked a treatment and shared my work with others. Your trust and referrals mean more than you know.

I’m especially thankful to my family, friends and , who have been my greatest supporters and loudest cheerleaders.

I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings!
