MINDFULNESS
Most people think mindfulness and meditation is all about a mantra that clears your mind. That can be a piece of the puzzle, but there is so much more and it’s even easier and more beneficial than you think! Mindfulness can truly help anyone to focus on relaxation and peacefulness.
YOGA
A little downward dog and sun salutation can help to promote relaxation and benefit your breathing, focus, and non-impact movement.
James A. Betler, D.O.
As an oncologist, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that Lending Hearts and its services has on my patients. Fighting cancer requires an integrated approach, and Lending Hearts and their wellness programs allow my patients to experience a sense of community and new found social support.
This is especially important during a time when many of my patients are transitioning facilities as well. The resiliency and strength that Lending Hearts gives my patients and their families are key components in the success of their cancer journey.

Krystle Fitzpatrick, RYT
My mission is to provide a safe space, free of judgment and expectations, where individuals of all ages and abilities can experience the numerous benefits that a yoga and meditation practice can bring. Participants are always encouraged to show up “just as they are” and move and breathe “as they can or they need.” Sessions typically include meditation, movement, breathing techniques, and deep relaxation with an aim to strengthen the connection between the physical body and the mind.
I have seen how participants, with great success, experience many forms of release, ease, comfort, encouragement, as well as impactful pain and stress management. I aim to keep things simple, yet provide tangible tools and techniques that participants can integrate into their daily lives to enhance their physical and mental wellness even in difficult times.

Jessica Johnston, Lending Hearts Patient
Having Lending Hearts and their programming available to me through my Lymphoma treatment was a blessing!!! I was raised in a healthy/fit home, as well as working in the spa and wellness industry for the last decade, so I have always been around positivity and wellness. However, being able to incorporate the mindful classes with Aimee and the yoga with Krystle really set my mind at ease and helped me stay positive and relaxed through a very trying time. I would highly recommend having this option available to all patients! Lending Hearts has so much to offer and does it from a place of pure giving.

Lending Hearts was founded on the need to give back for all that was given to the founder's (Vasso Paliouras Founder/Executive Director) family when her youngest sister was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hogkin’s Disease. Vasso's sister was diagnosed the day after she turned 17. "We never would have survived had it not been for all of the prayers, love and support of so many. They lent their hearts to us, and now we lend ours to every other family fighting."
We work towards a world where individuals living with cancer don’t feel alone.
