CCHL is excited to announce our NEW massage therapist, Laurie Weaver! She is trained specific for cancer patients and survivors and will have appointments available on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons beginning at 12:45!
About Laurie:
Laurie was born and raised here in Peoria in 1960. She graduated from Richwoods High School in 1978 then went to Judson University in Elgin, IL and got a BS in Psychology. Laurie married Chuck Weaver in 1985 and together we have been a part of several small business ventures. The one she was most involved with was Leo's Flowers. Laurie owned that with her sister for about 8 years. She have 3 children (Jesse-22, Annie-20 and Travis 17). Travis will graduate from HS this spring and she and Chuck are soon to have an "empty nest". A couple of years ago she started realizing how close this time was coming. In thinking about what she wanted to do next Laurie decided to move towards Oncology Massage. Laurie graduated from ICC with my certificate in Therapeutic Massage this past December. As for her other interests she likes to cook, garden, read, snow ski, walk (especially outdoors) and spend time with my family and friends. She enjoys volunteer work at her church (Northwoods Community Church), Young Life and the Book Buddy Program at Irving School. Her biggest claim to fame is being Chuck Weaver's wife for almost 25 years!!
Benefits of massage therapy for cancer patients may include:
- Pain Reduction
- Increase Relaxation
- Stimulate Lymphatic System
- Reduce Muscle Tension
- Feel Better, Do Better
Laurie is an excellent therapist with a desire for working with the cancer society and helping to improve cancer care in Peoria, IL. She's not only a professional, but she has true passion about what she does and you can tell the difference in her touch. I would highly recommend Laurie to anyone, they would not be disappointed with her massage!
