Leave a voice message for Françoise Vamecq in response to this podcast!
In this special Podcasthon episode for PodBXL podcast, we have the pleasure of speaking with Françoise Vamecq, co-founder of "Oncia Community", a foundation dedicated to providing holistic, human-centred support for people living with cancer.
The Mission?
To offer comprehensive and compassionate support by creating integrative centres inspired by the Maggie’s Centres in the UK, where nature and well-being play a key role in the healing process.
Why is this so important?
Because every patient deserves, alongside their medical treatment, care that respects every aspect of their health—physical, emotional, and social.
This includes: Therapeutic massages, Reflexology, Sophrology, Psychological support and many other complementary therapies backed by clinical evidence!
