Review for Simonton Cancer Counseling Center Charitable Trust, Malibu, CA, USA
I cannot say enough good things about the week my husband and I spent at the Simonton Cancer Counseling session. As a 2 time surviving cancer patient, this program was the most positive and educational approach to cancer I've ever experienced. And it works!! It is held in a peaceful retreat setting in Santa Barbara hills for 5 wonderful days. In meetings with Mrs. Simonton and the counselors and other patients, there is an immediate feeling of love and peace. Instead of fearing cancer, they teach new approaches to taking charge of your life, your health, and reaching deep into your soul to make any necessary changes in yourself and your life to bring about health. This empowered me to not fear cancer, and to use the the various methods that they taught to face cancer head on, and, in my case to use their uncomplicated methods to heal from it.
In meeting other patients, I was surprised that one couple had just flown in from Switzerland to attend this program. I mentioned my surprise at people coming from so far, and was told by staff it is quite a common occurrence. The Simonton Cancer Counseling Center is known internationally and has programs in many other coutnries.
What impressed me, besides the warmth and helpfulness and knowledge of the staff, was that after the program was over, Mrs. Simonton follows up on her patients. It has been years since I attended, and she still keeps in touch with me. She goes above and beyond to find answers to my questions, and works tirelessly to help her patients long after the program is over.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
It would be helpful if previous patients could visit the program, or make a video, tape, write a statement, or if the counselors gave examples of other patient's healings.
