Support at Every Step
All of my services are designed to support you across your experience, but certain ones may be especially useful at different points. Think of this as a map, not a rulebook — take what fits for where you are today.
Newly Diagnosed
These first days and weeks are often a whirlwind with decisions, appointments, and information overload and somehow, at the same time, so much waiting. It’s scary and the last thing you need is more overwhelm.

Oncology massage and manual lymphatic drainage therapy can help ease side effects, support circulation and immune function, and offer a safe place to relax and reconnect with your body.
It is also ideal for post-surgical care to help reduce swelling, assist with proper scar tissue formation, and eliminate anesthesia from the bloodstream.

Some people find this is a good time to begin learning simple, body-based practices they can do at home — especially during radiation or periods when they want to feel more proactive. For others, it may feel like too much right now, and that’s okay.
Whenever you’re ready, here are two digital self-care resources you can explore now or later:
Early Recovery & Survivorship
I consider this the 1–3 years after diagnosis and the most intense treatments. It’s the point where medical teams step back, appointments slow down, and you’re left trying to figure out a “new normal” that doesn’t really exist. For many, this aftermath is the hardest stretch — when the emotional weight of it all finally catches up.
At this point, support is about rebuilding trust with your body, managing lingering side effects, and creating steady practices that help you feel more like yourself again. This is where I believe YOU get to start intentionally reclaiming your life.
If you are currently here, I’d recommend exploring:

This is often the best time to dive into self-care at home. My digital resources are designed to help you take back control, build confidence, and create steady habits that support your long-term well-being.

You don’t know what you don’t know, and these tools will help you shift from passive recovery to active healing.
Lymphedema Risk E-Book→ A clear, practical guide that explains what lymphedema is, why it matters, and how you can lower your risk through informed daily choices. It takes the mystery out of lymphatic health so you can move forward with confidence instead of fear.
On-Demand Dry Brushing Workshop → A step-by-step video workshop that teaches you a simple, effective self-care technique to support your lymphatic system.

For local clients in Western New York, hands-on bodywork can ease lingering tightness, swelling, or scar tissue while also supporting stress relief and nervous system balance. Many clients find this stage to be when touch feels especially restorative.
Let’s be honest: this is really just the rest of your life. Day to day things may look “normal” from the outside, but the truth is the breast cancer experience never fully leaves you. Ongoing medications, yearly check-ins, or chronic side effects like lymphedema or neuropathy can still shape daily life. Support here is about sustainability — finding steady practices that help you feel well in the long run.
If you are currently here, I’d recommend exploring:

Living with metastatic breast cancer is different from any other version of a breast cancer experience. While I don’t walk in these shoes myself, I want to acknowledge the unique realities and challenges that come with ongoing treatment and uncertainty.
