Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Cancer, Health, Mental Health, Mental Health & Crisis Intervention, Patient & Family Support, Philanthropy, Voluntarism Promotion
Mission: Everyone knows someone with cancer. A diagnosis can be terrifying, and the medical treatment can result in debilitating fatigue and other side effects. Research indicates that Healing Touch and Reiki can minimize side effects of cancer treatment while promoting peace and well-being. LifeSpark's Energy Partners Program facilitates positive change in health, emotions, and spirit, and supports both the patient and the health care system. Mission: LifeSpark Cancer Resources is a non-profit volunteer service organization that uses Reiki and Healing Touch therapies to bring peace and healing to cancer patients and their caregivers. LifeSpark serves individuals with cancer and the oncology medical community through education, training, advocacy, and delivery of hands-on and remote sessions. Our core values include compassion, integrity, service, professionalism, and respect.
Results: Every year we deliver Reiki and Healing Touch sessions to about 500 individuals with cancer. In a recent informal survey of 35 cancer patients at UCHealth Anschutz Cancer Center, pain dropped by about a third, and stress and anxiety dropped by about two-thirds after a LifeSpark session. Over 90% of people receiving remote sessions in LifeSpark reported that they were helpful or very helpful in addressing their main issue.
