Complementary healthcare therapist Michelle Audette said: “I am excited to be able to offer this new service to the area’s residents who have cancer or suffer from other autoimmune conditions. This can relax the sympathetic nervous system, reduce pain and enhance the activity of the immune system.”

Centre co-owner Cathy Johnson said: “For too many years, massage has been taboo for clients in cancer treatment, now everyone can receive the benefits of massage.”
