“This lovely place saved me after going through my treatment. I only wish I knew about this resource while in-treatment. Everyone is so nice and you meet people who understand what you are going through. The Healing Garden offers many programs and services that are so beneficial to everyone. The support groups are amazing and so helpful. You have a chance to help others while they help you as well.

Having had cancer gave me the gift of this wonderful place where I feel so comfortable and where I have made friends that have changed my life in such positive ways.”

Maricel

“Before finding the Healing Garden I was a mess. It was a new way of looking at life with cancer. I was in a constant state of fear wondering how my life would be like. I felt very lonely and didn’t have anyone to talk to.

The support group at the Healing Garden was exactly what I needed. The women in my group all know exactly what I am talking about with my journey with cancer. I feel like I found my tribe, I found my place. Every time we meet I feel so much better after.”

Rob

“The Healing Garden has been an important partner in my journey as I am still fighting cancer. I have been able to utilize massage therapy with Julie regularly since I began being a client – and that has provided so much relief. Additionally, being able to participate in the support groups was not only helpful but a safe space.”

Rosa

“Being a Healing Garden client allows you to learn from each other. You share techniques to help during this journey. I have felt a big feeling of community, belonging, and a sense of compassion being here.

Many times, I come early before an appointment to just sit outside to take in the grounds. I like to sit by the water on the bench. Listening to nature soothes me.”

Laura

“I am an OB-GYN physician who treats patients with cancer sometimes and was blindsided by getting a cancer diagnosis myself. The Healing Garden provided the emotional healing that I needed and the ability to cope with things.”

Carol

“Being at the Healing Garden changed my life. It made me begin to have hope. It made me know I didn’t have to have it all together; because I had nothing together. I felt that if I wanted to be real, let go and be scared that I could do it here and be safe.”
