STRESS MANAGEMENT
Having Cancer is not easy. Every woman who has to deal with it is faced with complex decisions, fear, unpleasant and sometimes painful medical procedures and difficult emotional losses. The stress management program exists to help women cope with the stress of cancer. It offers:
  • Five free visits to the spa bath facilities if permitted by your doctor, or spa visits may be used by a female companion who accompanies you to your massage treatment.
  • Five free full hour massages or bio-energetic therapy treatments at the luxurious Thousand Waves Spa.
Controlling Stress by participating in healthy, positive relaxation activities (that also feel great!) can help you deal with the fear and depression that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. And all stress management program services are absolutely FREE.

The Stress Management Program is open to any woman with cancer. At times, when there are more clients than volunteer therapists, priority in scheduling appointments for treatments is given to women who are newly diagnosed, currently in treatment or those with advanced disease.

 Free Spa Visits include use of the redwood sauna, eucalyptus steambath, jacuzzi hot tub and the relaxation room. They are available anytime the spa is open without an appointment. You may also use these visits to share the experience with a friend while you are enjoying your free massage or bio-energetic therapy available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays by appointment only.

It’s easy to enroll. Just call Thousand Waves Spa and a staff person will answer your questions and invite you to come in. When you arrive, you will complete an intake form and we will begin a file to keep track of your visits.

 Having cancer is hard and the Stress Management Program for women with cancer can make it just a little easier.
