CHRISTINE CLINTON

Spa Trainer / Consultant

Christine Clinton Cancer Care was founded in 2002 as a result of My Husband, Steve receiving a misdiagnosis of Lung and Liver cancer. At the time I was the chief examiner (North America & Caribbean) for a leading UK awarding body, ITEC, evaluating students in their practical skills in Massage Therapy, Skincare, Reflexology and Aromatherapy. It was a very tumultuous time for our family and after 6 weeks of testing and research, the doctors determined that the shadows on his lungs were, in fact scar tissue from TB which Steve had contracted in The UK as a 19 year old. The shadow on his Liver was a Hemangioma which was a benign mass. Needless to say we were hugely relieved. This experience led to my quest to understand as much as I could about Cancer and its treatments. I subsequently became certified in Medical Massage for Cancer Patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City in 2004 I went on to study Mind Body Medicine with Dr. Herbert Benson at Harvard University. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting is Holiness the 14 th Dali Lama and participating in his weekend workshop of compassion and wisdom in practice. I studied Energy Medicine with Donna Eden and Reiki with Wendy Miner at Sloan Kettering. I became certified in Lymphatic care with Dr. Bruno Chikly in 2012 and helped with preparation of the selfcare educational booklet (78 pages) for The HSE – Health Service Executive in Ireland in 2015. My father was diagnosed with stage 3B stomach cancer and I worked closely with his oncology team to create an integrative oncology plan which supported his wellbeing for a further 12 years.
