Healing from Within….

Ugne Aleknaite NP, C-IFM and Louise Hubbard of Nantucket Bake Shop were recently interviewed by Antonia DePace of N magazine to bring awareness to bring to light the  complementary health and wellness services for cancer patients on island and their benefits.

As the Oncology Program leader at Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Ugne explains that receiving a cancer diagnosis is like being hit by an enormous wave. It’s overwhelming and turns your whole life upside down. Louise shares her experience of living with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that forms in plasma cells in bone marrow, and how the services at Lavender Farm Wellness supported her journey. 

“The most powerful thing about massage therapy specific to the cancer population, is the ability to experience wellness in one’s body even for a short period of the time, by bringing down the level of stress and supporting the trajectory of wellness in one’s being,” explains Aleknaite.

Lavender Farm Wellness is able to offer complimentary services to our island’s oncology community through internal funding and a partnership with Cape Wellness Collaborative.
