A breast cancer diagnosis brings significant physical, emotional, and mental challenges. During this difficult journey, it's crucial to have access to supportive, personalized care that helps address the side effects of treatment and promotes healing. At Onyeka Tefari Wellness and Spa, we are deeply committed to providing a range of services designed to nurture the body and mind, particularly for individuals facing cancer or recovering from cancer treatments. Our offerings—oncology massage, oncology mindful skincare, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), and lymphedema management—are here to support your journey to wellness with care and compassion.
Oncology Massage: Relieving Stress and Discomfort
Radiation, chemotherapy, and other cancer treatments can have significant effects on the skin, often leading to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Onyeka Tefari’s oncology mindful skincare services are designed with these challenges in mind, offering gentle and soothing treatments that prioritize the health and comfort of your skin.
Our estheticians are certified in oncology esthetics, meaning they have the knowledge and expertise to safely treat skin compromised by cancer therapies. We use carefully selected, non-toxic products that are free from harsh chemicals, ensuring that each skincare session nourishes and hydrates the skin without causing additional irritation. Whether you're dealing with dryness, sensitivity, or other skin changes, our goal is to restore balance to your skin, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Promoting Healing and Comfort
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a therapeutic technique that gently stimulates the lymphatic system, encouraging the movement of lymph fluids throughout the body. This technique can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have undergone surgery or radiation therapy, which can sometimes result in fluid retention or swelling.
MLD at Onyeka Tefari is performed by certified specialists who understand the delicate nature of the lymphatic system, especially in individuals with cancer or those who are recovering from treatment. This therapy can help reduce swelling, enhance circulation, and promote healing, making it an essential part of post-surgical recovery or ongoing cancer care. Regular MLD sessions can also alleviate discomfort and contribute to a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.
Lymphedema Care: Managing Swelling and Improving Quality of Life
Lymphedema is a condition that can occur when lymph fluid builds up in the body, causing swelling, particularly after lymph node removal or damage from cancer treatments. It can be a long-term side effect of breast cancer treatment, but with the right care and management, it can be controlled to improve quality of life.
Onyeka Tefari offers comprehensive lymphedema management services that are designed to help reduce swelling, prevent infection, and improve mobility. Our certified lymphedema therapists provide personalized care plans, which may include MLD, compression therapy, exercise, and skin care recommendations. With consistent support, we aim to help you manage lymphedema effectively, so it doesn’t interfere with your day-to-day activities or recovery.
