Massage and Energy Work are beneficial for anyone going through cancer treatments: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. The sessions are helpful before and after treatments.

Sessions last from 60 to 90 minutes depending of the particular needs.Special pillows and other gentle props are used to accommodate all physical problems and limitations. The sessions can be given clothes on, or off.

The massage techniques are swedish based. The touch is gentle, relaxing, soothing. The energy work techniques are from Energy Medicine: acupressure points, aura work, old shamanic practices that are efficient for pain relief and work on other energy systems.

" When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I was looking for angels. People who would help me cope with one of life's greatest challenges. With hands of gold that soothed my body, mind and spirit. Marie-Christine Lochot guided me through the darkest period in my life. With her kindness and magical touch, she helped heal me so I could survive."
