Touch For Cancer’s oncology aesthetic coaching makes you be prepared to licensed Aestheticians (Estheticians) to supply comfort and relaxation during Aesthetic Therapy treatments for customers who may be bearing cure for cancer.
Why is this obligatory? With more Oncology Aesthetics background and coaching, spas will be established as centers for therapy and treatment. Trained Aestheticians (Estheticians) will be more magisterial by clinical health practitioners.
Those bearing treatment for cancer – over their diagnosis, curing and recovery – should gain access to oncology aesthetics. Such services should be accessible at spas – whether they are hospital-, abundance- or day-spas. Customers meeting with cancer may have an undergoing time adopting to the physical side effects of getting chemotherapy or other curing. Their Aestheticians (Estheticians) should be ready for this concern.
Some of the significant facets of Touch for Cancer’s coaching argues massage therapy over Aesthetic Therapy curing, as well as the signifince of touch. Massaging the face, hands and feet during Aesthetic Therapy curing can supply a perfect therapy to achieve pain relaxation.
In accordance with more than 100 studies at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, touch in the type of massage over aesthetic treatments assists to decrease ache, mood spoilings (anger, anxiety, depression, confusion) and fatigue in cancer patients bearing chemotherapy.
“Massage can be sexurely presented to ustomers/patients meeting with cancer as long as the massage therapist is profoundly skilled for certain precautions”, says Gary Deng, MD, PhD, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City

April Cook, LME, COE, CDP, Makeup Artist
National Educator
Born and raised in Dunedin, FL, April Cook is a Licensed Medical Esthetician, Certified Oncology Esthetician, Certified DNA Practitioner, and has been a Makeup Artist for fifteen years. She is the Owner of Ageless Solutions Skin Care, LLC a Skin Care Wellness center in Clearwater, FL.
April was raised by her mother, a Naturopath Doctor, and learning how important good internal health is, she saw the need to focus on the largest organ in the body which is our skin. Knowing that we are exposed to over 90 thousand toxic substances on a daily basis either by what we put on our skin, environmental pollution or by what we ingest, how much more important is it to have the largest organ of the body, the skin, protected.
In her practice April specializes in corrective skin care such as those suffering from acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and slew of other known skin disorders. April also specializes in Oncology Esthetics® because when a family member or a friend is going through treatment for all forms of cancer, their skin care needs must be met with a treatment plan specialized just for them.
Lastly, April feels that the only way to assure that people know the importance of taking care of their skin is through education, regular esthetics treatments and a routine yearly exam with a Dermatologist. She gives educational lectures in the community and writes new articles for local news papers regarding many topics of the skin and all that pertains to that.

This set her on a lifelong mission to discover how to fill that need not only in the care of the skin, but also the importance of touch from family, friends and professionals during “the process”. Thankfully she has been cancer free for over three decades.
She owns Evergreen SkinCare Solutions, Inc. which specializes in the compromised skin conditions that women deal with on a daily basis including Acne, Rosacea, Aging skin as well as skin that is undergoing traditional cancer treatments, illness or surgery.
