At the Marin Cancer Institute, we treat more than just your medical needs: our program focuses on the whole person - the mind, body and spirit.

Holistic, integrative care combines the best of traditional medicine with proven healing practices from around the world. Research has documented the positive effects for cancer patients – these services can help lessen the side effects of conventional treatments, relieve stress and help create a healthy lifestyle.

The Institute for Health and Healing, a nationally known holistic / integrative medicine program, is available to all patients and their families.

During and following treatment, an array of special services are available through IHH:

  • Therapeutic massage
  • Guided Imagery
  • Nutritional consultations
  • Expressive Art sessions
  • Support groups
All of our outpatient services are fee-for-service and many are offered at low-cost.

Example of therapeutic massage
Therapeutic massage can help cancer patients improve their immune functions as well as reduce insomnia, anxiety and depression. Institute for Health & Healing massage therapists have advanced training in working with cancer patients.
