Touch for Cancer Skin Care

CHAMPIONS

Linda Lopez, LE. "This blog is about my journey into the world of Oncology
Esthetics. It's a relatively new field and up until recently we were
trained not to touch people with cancer for fear of causing harm. This is
no longer true and with the correct knowledge and expertise cancer patients
can greatly benefit from caring/healing touch. My goal is to learn and then
inform others about this wonderful new field of esthetics."
