She now specializes in working with individuals who are undergoing cancer treatment.

Meditation at Contra Costa Oncology
At Contra Costa Oncology Kat provides support to individuals at all stages of cancer treatment through guided imagery and yoga therapy. Medical research shows that practicing guided imagery and yoga can make patients more comfortable during cancer treatment and reduces treatment side effects. These forms of mind-body medicine have been shown to alleviate insomnia, anxiety and pain, and to enhance immune function, stress management and the ability to cope with the emotional aspects of cancer treatment.

A guided imagery or yoga therapy session typically lasts about one hour and initially weekly sessions are recommended. Complimentary initial phone consultations to discuss how guided imagery may benefit you are available. Kat is also happy to make a personalized guided imagery CD or to develop a personalized yoga routine for interested clients to support an on-going home practice.

To ensure services are available for every patient that is interested, a sliding rate scale is available for discussion.
