Have you just been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer? Or are experiencing progression from your original diagnosis?  You may have more questions than your doctors have time to answer. Not questions about anything medical but how to deal with this metastatic cancer.  Wellness House has just the group for you.  This group is a safe place to share your emotions, non-medical questions, learn about others coping skills and things that the doctors don't tell you.  You may feel reluctant to ask the medical professionals because they may think you're being silly.  The Living with Metastatic Cancer Group really understands and shares their similar experiences with you.

Monthly group program for the practice of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for stress reduction. EFT is often called emotional acupuncture (but, we don’t use needles). It quickly and effectively reduces stress and neutralizes negative emotions that we hang onto from unpleasant or traumatic life experiences. EFT combines focusing your thoughts on unpleasant memories or events, with gentle tapping on certain facial and upper body acupressure points. It is painless and the results are long lasting. EFT allows you to think more clearly and positively as your emotional stress is reduced.

Facilitated by Christine Hunt, Wellness Coach & Consultant 
Certified EFT & Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner
