Lucy Allen
“Compassionate and healing”
PhD, BCTMB, CMLDT
Lucy founded Oncology Massage in the Carolinas after seeing a need to match up oncology massage therapists with people with a history of cancer. While training people in massage, she has seen a passion in the therapists to be able to provide a safe, effective massage for cancer patients and survivors, but no good way to attract that clientele. While working in the St. Francis Cancer Center, she sees people who want a safe massage, but do not want it in the same place they are being treated, and not knowing where to find a properly trained therapist. She sees this site as a way to connect the two.

Putting Patients First
RN, MSN, NP, CHPN*
I am a nurse and breast cancer survivor. Having been “in the chair” and understanding some of what cancer patients go through, I know how important it is to find some comfort and compassion in cancer treatment. Providing oncology massage education is a way for me to support patients in their quest for peace and wellbeing. I am proud to be a survivor and consider it a privilege to provide support, education, and understanding to oncology patients and their caregivers. Safe massage is soothing and calming in the otherwise overwhelming environment of cancer treatment.
