INTRODUCTION : Cancer in its many variations ( over 200 types have been identified ) and treatments affects all clients in a holistic manner. Body-Mind and Spirit are inextricably woven together and no one part should be preferred or ignored. Cancer is systemic and long-term . There is no single cause of cancer like a virus ,microbe or bacteria . Cancer is slow-acting and insidious. Therefore the instructor has chosen three ancient, time-proven and modern bodywork modalities that work synergistically to create a healing environment in the client. Also none of these modalities are invasive or confrontational.
