Transforming Lives with Education and Integrative Care

At each Unite for HER Wellness Day, breast and ovarian cancer patients learn about the benefits of integrative therapies and create a personal plan for incorporating these fully-funded services into their treatment and recovery. In a small group setting, trained professionals lead discussions on the uses and benefits of acupuncture, massage, Reiki, yoga, meditation, nutrition, professional counseling (including sexual health), and caregiver support. Attendees receive a personal massage consultation and hands-on experience with yoga and Reiki during the event. Participants enjoy a delicious meal while engaging in an interactive presentation hosted by Unite for HER Nutrition Manager Erin Pellegin RD, LDN, on the healing properties of real foods. In addition to these helpful resources, Unite for HER also provides a wellness passport to participants to cover one year of treatment costs from approved providers for the therapies they feel will best support their everyday health and wellness. Patients living with metastatic disease and recurrent ovarian cancer receive services for life.
