The Big Idea

When a loved one receives a cancer diagnosis everything changes. It is like walking into a tumultuous storm as they are jostled between appointments and medical interventions that impact their physical and emotional health, well-being, and quality of life. Through that upheaval, they are in need of a safe haven. Healing Partners of the Central Coast (HPCC) is that haven.



HPCC offers 8 FREE Healing Touch (HT) sessions to cancer patients. HPCC provides one-of-a-kind supportive care that helps offset the side effects of medical treatments like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Patients report less pain and anxiety, enhanced moods, accelerated healing and recovery time after surgery, and easing of acute conditions such as neuropathy and lymphedema.



HPCC’s current focus is to accommodate our growth by training more HT Providers and securing additional treatment rooms to host our ever-growing Provider team. Each additional treatment room allows HPCC to expand HT to 6 more cancer patients and thereby increase access to HT exponentially.



It is community support that will enable HPCC to reach our growth objectives and increase comfort and quality of life for cancer patients across Monterey County.



HT is an integrative energy therapy that works with the body’s electromagnetic field (biofield) which flows in and around the body to support self-healing. It is non-invasive, holistic, risk-free, medication-free, and promotes deep relaxation. Scientifically proven and evidence based, HT is utilized in many leading hospitals and cancer centers across the U.S. Patients state they feel recentered, refocused and leave their HT sessions with more hope, strength and resilience. Founding Board Member and Provider, Margot Baker states, “The person who gets on the table is not the same person that gets off the table.”



Together we are stronger than cancer.

The HT session each week was like putting me back together again after a week of scans, infusions, blood draws and pain. HPCC’s service enabled me to relax and receive amazing care from my skilled and compassionate HT provider. I left each session feeling reassured and restrengthened for the coming week of my cancer journey.”
