OUR BOARD
A South Africa native, Morag owned her own skincare clinic and is certified in many spa modalities. She is licensed in aesthetics in British Columbia and currently creates training materials and facilitates aesthetic trainings on skin care products internationally. She created Touch for Cancer, which is truly successful and is embraced by both cancer patients and spa therapists. Morag is passionate about two things: the first is sharing her love of aesthetic dermatology. “I’m my happiest when working with aestheticians (estheticians) who are results oriented and who actually have a passion for helping people resolve skin care. Honestly, I think I was put on this earth to ‘clean’ people. Aesthetics, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically is cleansing in more ways than one.” Her second passion? Animals. When she’s not in the office working with clients or training aestheticians (estheticians), you can find her at a nearby stable, riding her horse or playing with her cats. One cat in particular embodied both interests. Marmalade, Morag’s cat, became ill with leukemia and reminded her how this disease unites man and animal. Marmalade wanted to be touched and loved until the very end. “Aestheticians (Estheticians) and anyone choosing to work with (a) client(s)/patient(s) living with cancer need to not be turned off or afraid to touch a person or animal fighting cancer,” she says. Morag is certified in Reflexology, Meridian Therapy and the 5 Elements, Aromatherapy, Advanced Aesthetics, Nail Technology, Massage Therapy, Electrolysis, Medical Laser Technician, Oncology Massage Therapy, Advanced Skin Analysis and Cosmetic Chemistry. She is an expert in the field of cancer-specific Aesthetics/Dermatology.
Roxanne is currently working as a Registered Nurse in Phoenix Arizona, as an Oncology/Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse. She received her Bachelors of Science in Nursing at California State University, Chico, USA. Among other awards, while in school, she received the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Region award for nursing as a second profession. Her motivation for Oncology nursing came from her sister-in-law, also a nurse, after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that involved over eighty percent of her bone. "I watched my dear friend progress through her illness and was inspired by her spirit and unselfish love and commitment to life. Because of her, I am committed to helping others and feel the path of an Oncology nurse chose me, not the other way round." Other certifications include Chemotherapy Administration Certification, BSL/CPR Instructor, and Oncology Massage Therapy certified. She is currently enrolled in a Masters of Science in Nursing through Grand Canyon University, in Arizona.
