With current cancer statistics trailing slightly behind heart disease in Canada and the United States, there is a very good chance that a person living with cancer, their caregivers, or their family members would seek out solace in a stress free place such as a spa.
Trends indicate a blend between medical-wellness-spa and this truly is the case with our focus on the Mórag Currin Method of Oncology Esthetics® (MCMOE).
While our focus is primarily on people living with cancer, one has to understand, that at times, a client has additional complications while having other health issues or disabilities that have to be taken into consideration. This includes any side effects from a cocktail of medications.
Personalizing spa treatments, at the moment, is the key to a successful outcome. For the client, knowing that their chosen esthetician is providing them with a spa service that is qualified and trained to deal with their disease, takes the added fear away from the client and they know that they will be in the best hands.
Every person, irrespective of their disease and/or disability needs to be welcomed into a spa for a treatment, and no-one should be turned away from a spa without a really good reason. Many spa personnel are ignorant about their handling of clients with special needs, and the onus is on the spa management to ensure their staff are adequately trained to handle all situations, under varying circumstances.
Education is what makes the difference.
Touch For Cancer provides training using the Mórag Currin Method of Oncology Esthetics® (MCMOE) for licensed estheticians in the spa and medical environment.
