This workshop focuses on three interrelated phases and stages:

- Surviving phase and remission stage
INTRODUCTION: Cancer in its many variations ( over 200 types have been identified ) and treatments affects all clients in a holistic manner. Body-Mind and Spirit are inextricably woven together and no one part should be preferred or ignored. Cancer is systemic and long-TERM. There is no single cause of cancer like a VIRUS, MICROBE or bacteria. Cancer is slow-acting and insidious. THEREFORE, the instructor has chosen three ancient, time-proven and modern bodywork modalities that work synergistically to create a healing environment in the client. ALSO, none of these modalities are invasive or confrontational.
PROTOCOL: According to T.C.M. (TRADITIONAL Chinese MEDICINE) when the Qi/Chi /Ki is blocked, stagnant there is dis-ease. The goal is to create a balanced and free flow of Qi/Chi/Ki. The quickest way to access the Qi is through these four modalities below.
In addition you will be taught the appropriate level of Touch/Pressure. Contraindications and precautions . The appropriate positioning of the client . This goes for all three stages above. We will also discuss the three main therapies and their side-effects: Chemotherapy, Radiation and Surgery.
