"To be present with the guest, to hold space for them and validate their feelings is a huge part of the healing process." In response to concerns about time, distance and money, Currin's program now off ers options that include online modules along with classroom time or in-class training. Of course, not every training program is right for every spa, so you'll need to do some research. Spa Minerale's MTs went through intensive training with Healwell (healwell.org), a nonprofi t agency aimed at improving the quality of life for people aff ected by acute, chronic and terminal illness through integrative, hands-on therapies, education and research. "The program provided our therapists with the knowledge and ability to safely and confi dently deliver massages to clients on the cancer journey," says Vassar. Points About Products Choosing the right products for cancer- aff ected clients is a delicate process. Obviously, strong exfoliants and highly active ingredients are not appropriate during active cancer treatment. The Hale & Hush and Martha Health Care lines of products for health-challenged skin were formulated with this population in mind, and Biologique Recherche recently partnered with Wellness for Cancer to adapt its face and body protocols for cancer-aff ected clients. Currin, meanwhile, prefers to pick and choose individual SKUs. "I fi nd that Eve Taylor's essential oil blends are safe to use and I like the brand's Hydrosol. I also recommend Canadian company Aquafolia's rescue products," she says. "However, everybody is apt to have a diff erent reaction to products so we have to focus on ingredients. I'm always on the hunt for something unique that works." u Resources To help you decide on the next steps, here are some places to begin: ❥ Christine Clinton Cancer Care, christineclintoncancercare.com ❥ Divine Indulgence Aesthetic Institute, divindai.com ❥ Greet The Day, greettheday.org ❥ International Society for Oncology Estheticians, isfoe.org ❥ Oncology Spa Solutions, oncologyspasolutions.com ❥ Oncology Training International, oti-oncology training.com ❥ Society for Oncology Massage, s4om.org ❥ Wellness for Cancer, wellnessforcancer.com
