Local yoga instructor participates in Unite for HER Wellness Day for breast cancer patients

Joan Rosetsky, an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT®-500) certified in the nationally recognized Yoga 4 Cancer (y4c™) program, has been invited to present with colleagues in other healing modalities at Unite for HER’s informative Wellness Day event at Abington Hospital on Sunday, October 25.

Wellness Day events are by invitation only for current breast cancer patients at the host hospital. For more information about the October 25 Wellness Day and to find out about participating hospitals near you, visit the Unite for HER website.

Wellness Days are designed to educate breast cancer patients about the benefits of complementary therapies. In a small group setting, trained professionals lead discussions in the areas of yoga, acupuncture, massage, Reiki, meditation and nutrition. Each participant has an opportunity to create a personal plan for incorporating these valuable modalities into her or his own treatment and recovery program.

“At the conclusion of the Wellness Day,” says Rosetsky, who maintains a private yoga practice in Doylestown, “Unite for HER presents participants with vouchers to cover the cost of the therapies from approved providers, such as myself, that participants believe will best support their everyday health and wellness.”

The mission of Unite for HER is to make a positive difference in the lives of women and girls by supporting and providing breast cancer and wellness programs that educate, empower and restore. Since 2009, Unite for HER has worked to bridge the gap between the medical and wellness communities by educating women diagnosed with breast cancer about complementary therapies, providing them with a compassionate resource for support, knowledge and healing.

Ms. Rosetsky is an approved Wellness Provider with the Unite for HER organization. In partnership with local hospitals, Unite for HER hosts wellness day events that introduce breast cancer patients to complementary therapies that can help them become fully restored. Attendees meet with nutrition, massage, yoga, meditation and acupuncture professionals to learn more about strategies that will support their health and wellness. Unite for HER also offers grants to those wanting alternative health options as they undergo treatments and during recovery.
