Naturopathica oncology care

Rooted in the principles of naturopathic medicine—a healing tradition that connects the body’s internal activities with outer forces like nature, diet, and movement—at Naturopathica, all of our spa services and formulas are centered around harnessing the power of herbs, botanicals, and natural modalities. 

There’s no denying the impact that cancer has on each and every one of us, whether it affects ourselves or our loved ones. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an estimated 2 million people in the US will be diagnosed with cancer in 2024. As we continue to see the effects of rising rates, we are committed to providing care and relief to those touched by the disease.

Naturopathica’s Oncology Care program was created as a means to provide specific, safe care to cancer patients undergoing or recovering from treatment. Working with experts certified in cancer care, we offer specialty oncology services that deliver the therapeutic benefits of touch, provide deep moisture, and alleviate the discomfort that stems from harsh oncology treatments like radiation and chemotherapy - using botanical, non toxic skincare that heals and nourishes taxed skin. These holistic treatments play a crucial role in the healing process of those undergoing intensive cancer care. All of our licensed estheticians and massage therapists are certified in oncology treatment, having undergone intensive course-work to understand how to treat the unique challenges facing cancer patients.

Beyond our own spas, our protocols are expanding to our 280+ spa partners across the country, through training their estheticians and massage therapists in our oncology care services—ensuring that no matter where you are, you can access relief.

Radiation and chemotherapy can take a serious toll on the skin, and the entire body. We worked with experts in oncology care to vet and determine which of our skincare offerings are not only safe but effective for use during cancer treatment, providing deep moisture and soothing relief to skin in need of tender care and nourishment. 

As part of our commitment to provide healing care, we’ve partnered with one of New York’s leading hospitals in cancer treatment and research, Mount Sinai, to offer complimentary massages, as well as facials offered by St. Jude to patients as they undergo chemotherapy. Like our spa offerings, these therapeutic massages were developed by certified and licensed oncology experts to help provide deep relief and relaxation during these stressful and exhausting treatments.
