NBCR SPEAKER SERIES
Please join the NBCR community for our monthly Speaker Series events as we explore ways to heal and expand our awareness through healthy practices! Sessions are for anyone affected by cancer…newly diagnosed, in treatment and beyond as well as loved ones and caregivers. During the NBCR Speaker Series events, participants who have been affected by cancer are eligible to receive a gift certificate for services such as oncology massage, acupuncture, reiki, guided imagery, manual lymph drainage, health coaching, yoga therapy and nutrition and wellness counseling.
If you were unable to attend our sessions live, some recordings are available at the bottom of this page. The sessions are just a click away!
A cancer diagnosis can be devastating. Living with it doesn't have to be.
Learn how the language you use can make an empowering difference.
A cancer diagnosis and everything that comes after can feel overwhelming and ultimately disempowering. Join us to learn how to talk about cancer, yourself, and life in general in a way that gives you back your power and elevates your experience.
In this interactive session, North of Boston Cancer Resource Board President and Certified Life Design Coach, Dina Crawford will facilitate a conversation and exercises that explore the language of loving yourself.
Get inspired to be intentional about using your words in a way that serves you - bringing forth your power and supporting your healing and recovery.
*Participants who have been affected by cancer and live in the communities north of Boston are eligible to receive a gift certificate for services such as oncology massage, acupuncture, reiki, guided imagery, manual lymph drainage nutrition education and health coaching.*
