Complementary Therapies

I enjoyed our lecture by Dr. Alessandra Colfi entitled “Complementary Modalities to Ease Patients’ Experience and Create Meaning in Palliative Care.” Dr. Colfi holds a BA/MA in Linguistics, a Master’s in Fine Art, and a Doctorate degree in Expressive Arts Therapy. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher RYT-200, Certified in Yoga for Cancer Recovery and Advanced Back Care, and a Zumba Instructor (ZIN®).

She provides her Expressive Arts Therapy programs at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center working and supporting patients in their healing journeys, and assists individuals process their grief after the death a loved one at The HeartWay.  Learn more about additional therapies that we can provide our patients! Click on the picture of Dr. Colfi and several of her expressive artists at their recent exhibition “Our Healing Journey” to watch the recording.
