Artichoke Hearts Healing
Keryn Hawthorne’s journey into massage therapy stems from her deep commitment to helping others and her personal experiences with healing. Originally from Santa Fe, NM, she has always been drawn to nature and adventure, engaging in rock climbing, skiing, kayaking, and backpacking the Grand Canyon twice. After earning a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Social Work and a Certificate in Gerontology from Arizona State University, she dedicated 15 years to social work in nursing homes, hospitals, hospice, and disability services. Following a BRCA2-positive breast cancer diagnosis, she underwent extensive treatment, including a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and a hysterectomy. This transformative experience led her to shift careers, finding her passion in massage therapy as a way to bring healing and balance to others. Keryn has completed advanced training in pre- and perinatal massage, oncology massage, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapy. She offers customized sessions incorporating Swedish, deep tissue, ashiatsu myofascial barefoot massage, orthopedic techniques, passive stretching, hot stones, aromatherapy, and CBD oil to relieve pain, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being.

Offering
Oncology massage is a gentle, specialized form of massage therapy designed to provide relief, relaxation, and comfort to individuals navigating cancer treatment or recovery. Unlike traditional massage, oncology massage is specifically adapted to accommodate the unique needs of those undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or other medical interventions.
How Oncology Massage Supports Cancer Patients
- Reduces pain and discomfort. Gentle techniques help relieve tension, muscle soreness, and treatment-related pain.
- Eases stress and anxiety. Supports the nervous system in shifting from stress to relaxation, promoting emotional well-being.
- Alleviates fatigue. Encourages circulation and relaxation, helping to reduce cancer-related exhaustion.
- Supports immune function. Light-touch techniques can promote lymphatic flow and improve overall well-being.
- Enhances sleep quality. Deep relaxation can assist in improving sleep patterns disrupted by treatment side effects.
Session Options
- 30-minute session – Targeted relief for specific areas of tension or discomfort.
- 60-minute session – Full-body relaxation and symptom management.
- 90-minute session – Extended support for deeper relaxation and overall well-being.
Each session is conducted by a therapist trained in oncology massage, ensuring techniques are modified to prioritize safety, comfort, and individual medical considerations. Whether you are in active treatment, recovery, or survivorship, oncology massage provides a nurturing, non-invasive therapy that complements conventional cancer care and enhances overall quality of life.
