MindingTheBody was created with the primary purpose of providing free salon services to local women while they undergo chemotherapy treatment. Chemotherapy patients often experience changes in their skin, face, nails and hair during treatment. Your valued support will help to offset costs of skilled staff that pamper cancer patients during this difficult time by offering manicures, pedicures and haircuts in a professional spa environment. Hair loss can be one of the more traumatic aspects of chemotherapy. We work with each woman individually, sensitively, and compassionately, providing options for the right look that help them manage their treatment and recovery with greater confidence and self-esteem.

MindingTheBody was created by cancer survivor Lisa Mattson, owner of Hair, Body and Sole Salon and Day Spa. Lisa has experienced chemotherapy herself and understands the special needs of patients undergoing treatment. Her goal is to provide a supportive environment, giving local women the opportunity to relax and indulge themselves monthly with a variety of salon services. If you know of someone who might be interested in participating, please contact Lisa Mattson at 541-757-1116.
