Help Melissa raise money

For participating in The 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story

Caring for my dad when he was ill showed me just how important integrative therapies are. It lead me on a journey to provide these integrative services to others after his passing. CWC has taken the burden of cost and search off the plates of patients and families which allows access to these services. It’s an honor to be running for Cape Wellness Collaborative for a 4th year and a privilege to work one on one with the clients of CWC. 

Description

CWC provides free of charge integrative therapies, nutritious meals, and emotional support for people facing cancer on Cape Cod and their caregivers.


Integrative care includes massage, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, yoga, art therapy and more.  All of these modalities provide significant relief from the side effects of cancer and its treatment.   Integrative care is not typically covered by insurance, which means many people cannot afford it while undergoing cancer treatment and facing a loss of work.   


CWC partners directly with local practitioners who provide these services and we cover the cost. 

Our model makes integrative care accessible:  the practitioners are in your neighborhood, and the cost is covered.   We serve over 600 people living with cancer each year.   Our goal is to help people feel better, better tolerate treatment, and recover faster after treatment.
