Description
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.
THIS WORKSHOP FOCUSES ON THREE INTERRELATED PHAES AND STAGES:
A. Active cancer phase
B. Post Treatment phase
C. Surviving phase and remission stage
IN ADDITION, YOU WILL BE TAUGHT:

· The appropriate positioning of the client
· Three main stages A. Active Cancer Stage B. Post Treatment Phase
