Spa Programs For Breast Cancer Survivors

Cancer recovery is one of the gateways that brings people to spas for the first time, according to a report from the International Spa Association (ISPA), in part because women who survive cancer become interested in alternative medicine and healing. Many spas across the country run special programs for survivors, particularly during October, Breast Cancer awareness month. On October 15, Red Mountain Spa in Ivins, Utah will offer its annual half-day Breast Cancer Spirit Hike to Lion’s Mouth, a Native American area

in the Southwestern part of the state. Participants offer prayers for both victims and survivors of the disease.

During October, Papillon Spa at Westgate Resort in Park City, Utah will honor breast cancer survivors with a special night at the spa. Survivors will receive a complimentary treatment as well as access to the steam room, sauna and whirlpool.

Sundara Inn & Spa in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, offers preferred pricing to breast cancer survivors and supporters in the Breast Cancer Recovery Foundation (BCRF) database.

Spa Gregorie’s in Newport Beach, Calif., sponsors "Greet the Day," a complimentary day of rejuvenation for people whose lives have been affected by a diagnosis of cancer.
