We are a small organization that delivers educational programs and support services to the cancer community and providing the most accurate information and resources is paramount. It is common survivors to experience skin changes as a result of cancer treatments, and we were so lucky to find Holly Brown and the Looking & Feeling FAB organization. Looking & Feeling FAB has been a wealth of knowledge and wonderful resource for the people we serve, and we feel blessed to have this long-standing partnership with such an outstanding organization.

I was about to start my radiation treatments and my doctor said words like: Burning, scarring, blisters, peeling
A friend told me about FAB - I gave Holly a call and she and Christina had a meeting with me, sent me some magical oil and creamy moisturizers and I applied them to my breast before my treatments even started and throughout the radiation. My skin never even came close to what I was told could and would probably happen!! During this time I was also provided with facials and massages, all courtesy of FAB for those precious hours I felt like a woman instead of a mass of damaged cells. I can’t thank everyone from FAB enough especially Holly, AJ and Christina!!! xxoo
Looking and Feeling FAB is an amazing organization. They provide care to clients that have been impacted by cancer. They also work with other organizations providing education on clean skin care products.
I truly feel blessed to have meet Holly and Christina from Looking And Feeling Fab, Inc. The work they do is so amazing! I am thankful to be a client of Christina’s for Manual Lymphatic Drainage. She is so gifted! Forever grateful.

Looking and Feeling FAB were unbelievably healing and exactly what my mother needed to get a little relief and respite. Christina and Holly both came to my mother’s house out in central Massachusetts when my mom was home on hospice with stage 4 cancer. Christina gave have the most healing and nurturing treatment that it was one of the very few times I could see her physically relax and be comfortable. I highly recommend everyone at Looking and Feeling FAB! We are so lucky to have this amazing charity so close to home.
Holly Brown and her staff are experts in the field of skin care during treatments for Cancer, they have helped relieve the burns from radiation, rashes from chemo and get your skin healthy again. They also provide facials and products. I got through a really tough time due to their treatments! They are the best!
I love working with this charity! We offer critical services to people with a history of cancer or are currently in treatment. Skin care services include education and home care products for radiation dermatitis and skin side effects of chemotherapy. Massage gives an opportunity to help with nausea, fatigue, insomnia, and mental health related to their treatments. Seeing the positive results in our clients well being has brought such depth and meaning to my career.
Been a client for 4 years and am incredibly grateful for having found such a wonderful and necessary organization. The professional staff is caring and compassionate, and the experience is always uplifting.
Being diagnosed with cancer at age 41 was quite a shock. The things your body and mind go through is quite unimaginable. The staff at Looking and Feeling Fab are angels in this process. The service goes well beyond the tangible and fills up your cup to get you through more. They sites are clean and calming.
Looking and Feeling FAB has completely changed my life for the better. Following a preventative double mastectomy last November, I developed necrosis and required additional surgery to remove the skin. Holly and the FAB team took my case on and welcomed me into the FAB family with open arms - despite my mastectomy being preventative (BRCA1 Mutation) and not due to a cancer diagnosis.
My skin has healed beautifully - between the attention to my skin and tissue and the FAB products I’ve been using. I am now in the beginning stages of reconstruction and am looking forward to bringing Holly and Christina on this journey with me, allowing them to see the positive impact they - and their services - have had on me physically and emotionally.
I have metastatic breast cancer in my bones. I am thankful to have Looking and Feeling Fab for their therapeutic massages. It not only helps me physically, but mentally as well. It is difficult to live “with cancer” and this organization helps me and others in so many ways.

I have cancer and was lucky to find Looking and Feeling Fab. They are a wonderful organization and I feel confident getting massages from them. They are trained in how to address the problems and concerns of those of us with cancer. I always feel so much better after my appointment and really look forward to my visits.
Looking and Feeling Fab is a most extraordinary non-profit. They concentrate exclusively on treating skin issues for oncology patients who have reactions and side-effects from chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, targeted therapies and immunotherapies.
I should know because back in 2019, my scar from laser breast cancer surgery completely opened up and became ulcerated. When I went to the hospital wound center, they said that there was nothing that they could do. Then, I was introduced to Holly Brown, the founder and oncology trained esthetician. She immediately sent me two special products to use, and the area started to close up and heal.
This non-profit also has a "Pay It Forward " program and does lymphatic drainage, facials and massages along with educational workshops for patients and the public.
I highly recommend that you seek out and contribute to this organization for they are most gracious and generous and do make a huge impact to conditions that can be devastating to a person 's quality of life. Thank you!.
this organization has helped many people diagnosed with cancer. They offer facials and massages for free to help heal the side effects of radiation and chemo.
These people are professionals in their trade.
I have worked with Holly and the volunteers at FAB for many years. Being an esthetician I have been honored to work directly with the patients giving them a respite from all their doctor appointments and treatments. I now work with the non-profit behind the scenes. This is the most amazing group of woman who selflessly donate their time, love, laughter and sometimes tears with anyone who reaches out for support.
My sister benefited by receiving treatments from FAB during her 5 year diagnosis with Metastatic Breast Cancer. These were blessing days for her receiving oncology approved massages from Christina.

Holly is the most genuine person and truly wants to help people! I adore her heart for oncology treated clients and the way she is able to heal the skin barrier.
This is such a great organization. They woek qith those who are going through or have had cancer. Cancer changes a person and they help you get back to feeling like yourself and help qith your skin, body and spirit. I cannot say enough good things about this organization.
As a cancer victim, we can’t escape our diagnosis. We should then feel grateful to have the opportunity for potentially life-saving surgery, radiation and/or chemo treatments. We try to stay positive and hopeful while our bodies are being painfully and progressively “treated” before or after losing organs, lymph nodes, entire reproductive systems, lungs and breasts, as only a few examples. We might lose sleep, hair, weight, bone mass, eyebrows, eyelashes, self esteem and a whole lot more as we pray we lose the cancer cells forever. The ONLY time I feel I am at peace in my body and mind is while I’m receiving a Skincare or massage treatment from Christina at Feeling Fab. Cancers and treatments are all different and cause all kinds is different side affects, some temporary and some permanent. Feeling Fab offers complimentary products along with facial and massage treatments for a generous amount of time for cancer victims and then deeply discounted treatments as you move forward in your journey. This service is priceless and dependent on donations. I’m so grateful for this organization! They are all so compassionate and caring and have given me so much help and hope. I can’t thank Holly and all of the therapists enough for all the work they put forward to provide this priceless service ❤️ Sincerely and forever Grateful for you all Hopeful Survivor Of Stage 3a High-Grade Serous Carcinoma Ovarian Cancer
I had a facial with Jordan it was wonderful I was relax she was very gentle and caring with me extremely professional I really enjoy it and I have kept it up for couple years now
FAB was extremely helpful when I was going through my cancer treatments
The staff was very thorough with the initial intake. Addressed my concerns and goals. I was afraid of burning during my radiation- I was giving products and instructions to prevent any irritation and by the way it worked! I also developed lymphodema - Christina Murdock gave me a lymphatic drainage massage that felt amazing! But, also relieved the pain -- permanently!!
