#1: The Survivor Reset: Nervous System Recovery After Cancer Treatment

A practical, evidence-informed workshop for survivors navigating anxiety, sleep disruption, fatigue, and the “after” of treatment. Participants learn simple, body-based tools to support regulation, resilience, and quality of life, without overwhelm.

Ideal for: survivorship clinics, support groups, hospitals/community programs, conference breakouts, and patient education series.

What participants will learn:

  • Vagus nerve + somatic grounding tools to reduce anxiety, hypervigilance, and fear of recurrence

  • Sleep and fatigue recovery strategies for “wired but tired” patterns and post-treatment exhaustion

  • Emotional regulation skills for overwhelm, identity shifts, and life-after-treatment transitions

  • A simple 5-minute daily reset routine that can be used at home immediately

#2: Safe Self-Massage for Cancer Survivors: MSKCC-Trained Techniques From Bed or Chair

A gentle, oncology-informed workshop that teaches safe self-massage and lymphatic support strategies for swelling, heaviness, scar-area discomfort, and overall recovery—adapted for real bodies and real energy levels.

Ideal for: survivorship education, lymphedema-aware wellness programming, patient/caregiver workshops, and community events.

What participants will learn:

  • Oncology-safe lymphatic activation techniques to support swelling, heaviness, and inflammation

  • Lymphedema education + precautions: what to avoid, how to modify safely, and when to seek support
