Massage for people affected by cancer
Welcome
It's a pleasure to welcome you to my website today.
My name is Paula Beekhuizen, I am a certified relaxation massage therapist, a specialized oncology massage therapist, and a member of the Network 'Massage bij Kanker' Quality Register.
Cancer is a condition that has a major impact on the physical, emotional, and social well-being of people.
It has consequences for the perception of health, confidence in the body, and general functioning.
In addition, cancer also has consequences for the immediate environment, such as family and friends, because they too are affected by the situation.
Oncology massage provides hope for everyone involved during a difficult time.
What can you expect from the massage
The massages are performed in a manner best comparable to gently applying lotion to the skin. It is also possible that only the hands are placed on the skin.
Mindful massaging means that I create a calm, pleasant environment for you. The massage room is heated and, where possible, has dimmed lighting. If you wish, you can ask for some nice background music. The massage oil is warmed, and I also ensure that you are and remain warm. I take into account that you may be sensitive to stimuli due to the therapy treatments.
Massaging with attention also means that you, as the client, are in control, and I will always ask you what you need, what you do want and do not want, for example due to pain or discomfort.
