Local Oncology Massage
Whether you’re currently undergoing treatment, recovering, living with a history of cancer or navigating the changes that come with your journey.

You will be in good hands with Kristy at Awaken to Wellness

💚 INTRODUCING ONCOLOGY MASSAGE AT AWAKEN TO WELLNESS 💚

At Awaken To Wellness, we believe everyone deserves to feel cared for, supported and comfortable in their own body.

We’re pleased to share that both Kristy and Dean have completed specialised oncology massage training with Oncology Massage Global, expanding our knowledge and skills to better support people affected by cancer.

Cancer and its treatments can bring many physical and emotional challenges. Oncology massage is a specialised approach that adapts massage techniques to the individual, taking into consideration their health, treatment history, current needs and overall wellbeing.

It’s about more than massage. It’s about providing a safe, gentle and nurturing space where you can take a breath, feel supported and enjoy some time dedicated entirely to you. 💚

Whether you’re currently undergoing treatment, recovering, living with a history of cancer or navigating the changes that come with your journey, we understand that your needs may be different from one day to the next.

Our additional training helps us make informed adjustments to your treatment, with your comfort, individual circumstances and wellbeing at the heart of every session.

At Awaken To Wellness, our philosophy remains the same:

Less Pain. More Movement. Inner Balance.

Because everyone deserves compassionate care, delivered with understanding, respect and a gentle touch.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, recovering or receiving palliative care, oncology massage can be part of your care throughout your journey. 💚

With care,
Kristy & Dean 💚
