Walton Massage Therapy – Massage Therapy for Cancer Care and Beyond. My practice focuses exclusively on oncology massage therapy and therapeutic massage for caregivers and health care workers.

I work with people with cancer, in treatment and management, post-treatment (even years later), and living at end of life. In massage therapy for cancer care, I modify massage to target common symptoms and side effects of cancer treatment.

I also work with caregivers of people with cancer and other serious illness, and healthcare workers in any role or setting. General therapeutic massage can help ease caregiving stress as well as common aches and pains experienced by caregivers and health care workers. My work is COVID-conscious, with layered mitigations that include masking, vaccine requirements, ventilation, air filtration, and testing in certain circumstances.

All new clients are asked to review and agree to the COVID protocols on the website. Since 1990, when I first graduated from massage therapy training, I have worked as a researcher, educator, writer and massage therapist, primarily in oncology massage therapy. I believe strongly in the role of massage therapy in cancer care — for everyone in the circle of care.
