WELCOME
Welcome to personalized care. Whether you come seeking the gentle medicine of lymphatic flow, sanctuary during illness, or respite from the sacred labor of caregiving—this work honors that your body's needs are part of the larger web of healing.
For over twenty years, my hands have learned the language of the body — through Massage, Craniosacral, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Integrative Oncology work, Alchemical Alignment, and the slow, reverent work of helping tissue release what it has carried too long.
• Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Klose Training) • Licensed Massage Therapist (20 years) • S4OM-Affiliated Oncology Training (in progress) • Biodynamic Certification • Alchemical Alignment Certification.
For Those Navigating Illness & Loss
Sometimes you arrive here not looking for ceremony or ancestral work — but simply for skilled, gentle hands that understand what your body is carrying.
I offer specialized restorative bodywork for people affected by cancer, including Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Integrative Oncology Massage, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy — as well as Supportive Somatic Therapy sessions for the family members and caregivers who often go untended in the midst of someone else's illness.
This work is oncology-informed, trauma-aware, and held with the same devotion as everything else that happens within these walls.

ABOUT
Selina
Canez Alcaraz Chacon Borquez
(they/them)
Licensed Massage Therapist & Manual Lymphatic Drainage Specialist offering evidence-based
restorative care for lymphedema, post-cancer recovery, and grief—grounded in trauma-informed,
culturally-affirming practice.
I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist with 20 years of clinical experience, specializing in Manual
Lymphatic Drainage (Klose-certified), Integrative Oncology Massage, and Biodynamic Craniosacral
Therapy. My work focuses on evidence-based restorative care for people navigating cancer recovery,
complex grief, and chronic pain.
My Training Includes:

• Integrative Oncology Massage (S4OM-affiliated training)
• Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy & Somatics
• Trauma-informed care for marginalized bodies
Beyond clinical credentials, I bring two decades of somatic and ancestral wisdom practice. I'm rooted
in indigenous Mexican healing traditions passed down through my family lineage—folk medicine
knowledge that teaches me to work with the whole person, not just symptoms. This foundation allows
me to offer care that is simultaneously clinical and ceremonial, professional and deeply personal.
All are welcomed and I work with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities with explicit intentionality. I offer gender-affirming bodywork, trauma-informed touch, and culturally-humble care that recognizes healing as both
individual and collective.
For Healthcare Referral Sources:
I collaborate with oncology social workers, patient navigators, and integrative medicine teams. I'm
available for case consultation, accept insurance referrals, and provide detailed progress notes. My
practice prioritizes evidence-based care, clear communication with your clinical team, and dignity for
the people in your care.
For Individual Clients:
Whether you come seeking skilled hands for lymphatic care, sanctuary during illness, respite from
caregiving, or ancestral healing work—this practice honors that your body's needs are part of a larger
web of healing.
Beloved Voices
"When I come to Selina with an intention or my awareness on a certain place in my body that is in pain or wants attention, I am awe struck at how, in the process of their work, they accesses the source below the source of the issue. Their ability to discern whether particular areas of the body are communicating a need for deep attention and release, if it has a story to tell, wants to be softly touched or witnessed, etc. is such a strength. They tend to the needs body is communicating with reverence and diligence.
One of my favorite experiences with Selina is that they can intuitively hear the body asking for a practice to take home and integrate into my life and it feels like an unnamed longing that lands with me and opens up so much possibility. In this way, the session extends and the healing continues to unfold long after the session is over."
