"I discovered EmbodiWorks during a late night research session shortly after my mother's cancer recurrence. The site provided a portal to organized information that was otherwise scattered across the entire Internet. It also offered contact information for local resources that have been added to our personal holistic health plan. EmbodiWorks A-Z Cancer Information library provides an easy way to get to valuable information fast. Best of all, the information on the site is presented in easy-to-understand language, that while medically based, is still being patient-centered. The site is a comforting resource for those with cancer and those who care for and love someone who has been diagnosed with cancer."

"EmbodiWorks has a ton of great, free, useful information for cancer patients, caregivers and health care providers. I love their Cancer Information A-Z index from Acupuncture to Mind-Body strategies to other topics. I also love their Questions for Evaluating Cancer Treatments & Providers with tons of great information and important questions to ask any physician. We took a WHOLE-istic approach to treating Alan's cancer... and by WHOLE, I mean we tried everything including chemo & radiation, a personal clinical trial (basically), nutrition, acupuncture, guided meditations, massage and more. When working with any alternative strategies, it's important to know what's legit and what's not. Some things we did slowed the growth of my husband's cancer, others eased his mind and made him feel better. I wish EmbodiWorks existed during our journey."

"When my daughter was diagnosed with cancer many years ago, our world went upside down. Trying to help evaluate treatment options, dealing with doctors, emotions, aftercare and support is an enormous ongoing process and I wish that there was a resource like EmbodiWorks at that time. The info in the Resources section and the Blogs alone are a fantastic education. Every time I explore their site, I find more information and see something new. EmbodiWorks is an amazing library of information that is helpful at all stages of dealing with cancer. I'm very thankful as I learn more and more each day while exploring this wonderful educational website. Thank you."

"EmbodiWorks is a remarkable and visually beautiful resource for anyone with cancer, their loved ones, cancer practitioners— anyone at all touched by cancer. The expansive scope and depth of integrative, holistic cancer care information and even provider resources, including emotional and spiritual inspiration, is amazing as well as unique on the web. To my knowledge there is no other organization offering this in-depth wealth of informed integrative cancer help for the whole person."
-Sue Memhard, M.Ed., Founder and Director of The Emerald Heart Cancer Foundation
"EmbodiWorks provides responsible, sensitive guidance in creating the kind of individualized program of care— one which thoughtfully integrates conventional, complementary and alternative therapies— that every person with cancer needs."
-James S. Gordon, MD, Founder and Director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, co-author of Comprehensive Cancer Care, creator of the CancerGuides training
"Like many, at the beginning of my own cancer journey I was in a desperate search of healing modalities outside the traditional medical sphere to compliment my treatments. I was maneuvering the uncharted waters of a rare, Stage IV cancer diagnosis and spent untold hours amassing an arsenal of knowledge, resources and tools instinctively trying to get on the other side of the “curve”, so to speak and beat the slim odds I had been given. EmbodiWorks encapsulates and freely hands you what others had to figure out for themselves—and so much more—saving precious time and money. (Oh, how I wish I had found them back then!)
As the growing “WebMD of Integrative Cancer Care”, EmbodiWorks provides information and guidance on multiple essential levels of healing so that a patient can leverage and learn various supportive pillars on their path back to wellness. With topics ranging from cutting-edge tools to ancient principles—and everything in between, they cover a wide breadth of knowledge and support while also generously making it available to all. Cancer patients have enough to figure out. EmbodiWorks gives the precious gift of making that journey easier."
-Alyssa Phillips, Double Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor
"I have spent a great deal of time searching for health information online and in print. When I came to EmbodiWorks, it felt like a breath of fresh air! All of the information you could need is in one well organized, presented, and designed place EmbodiWorks is a template for the journey of wellness, a roadmap that can guide you to answers to your questions, as well as provide new avenues of exploration. I exuberantly recommend EmbodiWorks to any person experiencing an illness or simply seeking education on integrative medicine and wellness."

"Most likely we all have someone in our lives that have gotten the tragic, shocking news they have cancer. The heartbreak of diagnosis for our beloved mother, sister, life-partner, son is unbearable. Before the initial reaction wears off, a spring into action is required to make incomprehensible decisions for treatment that will indeed cause pain to those we love.
In 1948 my mother was diagnosed with malignant melanoma that metastasized to the point her left arm and shoulder needed to be amputated. In those days cancer treatment was almost barbaric. I'm not even sure she was given treatment options. Instead, doctors made decisions for her.
Humans are multifaceted complex beings. Inside the body-temple is an intelligent mind and soft spirit that needs community, healthy living and support services. Where can those of us that receive overwhelming, sad news turn to? Are comprehensive cancer resources available addressing the whole person? People affected by cancer need a loving support system for healing and recovery. No more stigma, just a focus on life and love with whatever it takes.
Well the answer is yes and the resource is EmbodiWorks. Through their rich live, vibrant website, EmbodiWorks offers health information for all facets of a person and their loved ones facing cancer. They cover many topics and even share questions to think about when making the tough decisions for treatment, healing and recovery. Their cancer prevention strategies are also amazing, including a healthy home, personal care and nutrition that instill the value of a healthy and sustainable planet.
In spite of my mom's terminal diagnosis, she recovered and even gave birth to my younger sister and me. Between the humility that came with being labeled a freak (a disabled amputee) and her own faith, her recovery from cancer became a powerful healing magnet for anyone that was suffering. My mom was a gifted hospice worker for over 25 years. In her early hospice work, she learned as she went, but I am confident that if she still supported those in need of care today, she would share EmbodiWorks as precious gift to help patients and caregivers facing cancer."
-Michelle
"EmbodiWorks is an incredible resource for cancer patients. The educational information is easy to navigate and covers many issues relevant to prevention, healing and moving into cancer survivorship. In my work as a cancer coach, every client I have recommended EmbodiWorks to tells me that the site is fantastic and that they are so grateful to know about it. As a cancer survivor, I fully appreciate EmbodiWorks' approach to whole body cancer care and am grateful to their important work."
-Elyn Jacobs, Elyn Jacobs Consulting, Inc.
"EmbodiWorks has provided invaluable information for my clients such as the comprehensive list of resources in just about every category possible. I have utilized specific resources such as the mind-body connection, financial assistance & cancer links, healing environments and integrative providers. All my group participants also rave about Maps to Integrative Cancer Care. This is the most thorough, exhaustive body of information I have ever seen online. Having cancer is overwhelming and entering this world can be intimidating and frightening. Their website is like an all in one guide for people to navigate easily through the never-ending questions. Thank you EmbodiWorks for all you have provided in supporting those who have cancer, cancer survivors, family members and professionals like myself!"
