Mind, Body, Sexual Health & Cancer Survivor Retreat

Emotional, physical and mental health concerns can arise with surgical and medical treatments related to cancer and when sexual health issues such as pain with intimacy are experienced. Such issues commonly affect cancer survivors and are often underserved.

During this one day retreat, participants will engage with our host, Jessica Bell, PA-C, who specializes in sexual medicine at Samaritan Health Services. The retreat will focus on learning, community and empowerment. Joining Jessica will be Susan Giglio, DPT, a pelvic floor physical therapist at Samaritan, who will guide participants through gentle yoga movements with the goal of being able to practice them on your own. Lisa-Paula da Silva, MSW, LCSW, with Samaritan Cancer Program will discuss completing the stress response cycle.

Information about anatomy, sexual health and mindfulness-based interventions will be shared in a supportive and welcoming environment. Participants will leave with tangible tools to support all of the topics covered.

This workshop is meant for female-identifying cancer survivors.
