"Words Can Not Even Express The Experience"
"Words can not even express the experience (comforting, warm, floating, intimate (not sexual!), cozy, kindness, caring, calm, etc.) Thank you for the opportunity to relax and enjoy the day. The lunch was delicious. The facility was lovely. The music was very soothing. My massage therapist was just wonderful. Her hand flowed in perfect rhythm with the music..felt as if i were floating.

“Lisa, the coordinator, was so kind and made sure we all felt comfortable receiving this wonderful service. Ivy's meditation was very helpful and really set the tone for the morning.

Thank you so very much! I enjoyed the positive and friendly attitude of the personnel and "chats" with fellow breast cancer survivors.”

Susan A.
"The Whole Program Was Geared Towards Relaxation "
"I truly enjoyed the whole experience. I have been in remission since 2004, but many don't realize that some experience the side effects of cancer well after their treatment is over. For me, it is neuropathy. The spa really catered to me and I appreciate it so much. I like the fact that the whole program was geared toward relaxation. I love the idea of the quiet room. I had never had a full massage before. I was so relaxed that the next thing I knew, I was told that lunch would be served next. I had fallen asleep during the massage, I was that relaxed. I liked the fact that the treatment began the moment I walked in the door. I was greeted with friendly faces. I could smell the different scents in the air. I just loved the message. I came home that day just feeling so relaxed."
Cheryl S.
"It Was As IF My Stress Took A Vacation "
"I still cannot believe the tremendous amount of kindness, support, and comfort I was given at my day at Greet The Day. It was as if my stress took a vacation! What a wonderful gift. I cannot thank everyone enough! I only wish there was something I could give back in return. Greet The Day is a slice of Heaven in the midst of Hell."
Leslie M.
"I Carried The Feeling For Days "
"I carried the wonderful nurturing feeling with me for days afterwards. I loved spending alone time in the "quiet room." Everybody was so helpful."
Janice F.
"Greet The Day Has Given Me Another Reason To Fight"
"Dearest Johnette,
There are no words to describe how much this morning meant to me. I felt so great that I was actually hungry for lunch! Not only that, I picked up Japanese take-out on the way home! This may sound silly, but for someone who hasn't had any appetite for almost 2 months, it was pretty fabulous! 'Greet The Day" has given me another reason to fight this sucker tooth and nail. I so look forward to the day when I can give back to your wonderful organization. Being a survivor myself might help ladies with their fears while enjoying a beautiful morning! I will take the oncology training as soon as I am able. You are truly an inspiration. Your gift of healing is incredible! I write this with the respect, the sort of which is seldom, if ever, given in a lifetime."
