What to Book
Book a New Client Intake & Consultation and pair it with one of the following services based on your energy level, treatment stage, and comfort:
For most clients, the 60-minute Oncology Massage is the standard starting point. This allows time for a full intake, symptom review, and a gentle, fully customized session based on your current energy level, treatment status, and clinical considerations.
The 30-minute Reflexology session may be a supportive option for clients who prefer a non-bodywork approach, have higher sensitivity, or are seeking a gentler way to support relaxation, stress reduction, and nervous system calming during or after treatment.
For clients experiencing fatigue, nausea, pain, or active treatment side effects, shorter or more focused sessions may be recommended and adjusted during your consultation.
If you are unsure what to book, begin with a consultation or intake discussion. Your therapist will help determine the safest and most appropriate session length and approach based on your medical history, treatment phase, and current symptoms.
We do not want to waste your time or your money. Your care plan will always be guided by your comfort, treatment stage, and overall wellness goals.
If you are a Cape Wellness Collaborative client, please call our office directly to schedule your session.
We are honored to support you through every stage of your care journey.
