Welcome to Our Journey

Luna Wellness Center is a Northern Virginia–based nonprofit delivering restorative wellness services at no cost for women undergoing and recovering from cancer treatment. As survivorship rates increase, so does the need for more comprehensive, supportive care. Patients are living longer—but often with unmet physical and emotional needs that directly impact recovery and overall well-being.
    
    Luna Wellness Center was founded on a simple belief: healing extends beyond medical treatment—it includes feeling supported, restored, and cared for as a whole person.  

​

We understand that women facing cancer often navigate more than just the physical challenges of treatment. Behind every diagnosis are deeply personal experiences—changes in confidence, identity, and emotional well-being that are not always addressed within traditional care. Luna was created to help fill that gap.

Our Mission is to provide safe, restorative wellness services that support women during and after treatment. From gentle, oncology-informed skincare to calming, stress-reducing experiences, every offering is designed to bring comfort, dignity, and a sense of renewal during an incredibly difficult time.

 

We work alongside—not in place of—medical care, providing a complementary layer of support that prioritizes how women feel, not just how they heal.
 


Vision

Our Vision is to create a future where restorative wellness is recognized as an essential part of cancer care,

empowering every woman to heal with compassion, connection, hope, and dignity.

Our Story

Luna began not as an organization, but as a circle of women showing up for one another. 


     When Teresa was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer, our immediate instinct as friends was simple: be there. What started as conversations—checking in, sharing concerns, looking for ways to help—quickly became something more intentional. We each brought different perspectives, but a shared realization emerged: the kind of support Teresa needed wasn’t easy to find.

     In searching for resources, we reached out to Lisbet, a cancer survivor, hoping to learn from her experience. Her response—that there were no wellness programs available to her while she balanced treatment, work, and family—was both surprising and clarifying. It highlighted a gap that none of us could ignore.

     From that moment, our roles began to take shape organically.

     With a background in nonprofit leadership, healthcare, and program development, we began outlining what a structured, accessible wellness program could look like. Others in our circle contributed in equally meaningful ways—offering insight, connections, creative direction, and hands-on support. What united us was not just professional experience, but a shared commitment to ensuring no woman feels unsupported during such a critical time.

     Luna was built from lived experience, collaboration, and care.

     We are friends, professionals, survivors, and advocates—coming together to create something we wish had existed when it was needed most. And that foundation continues to guide how we grow: thoughtfully, compassionately, and always centered on the women we serve.

Luna Literary Circle

​Luna Literary Circle brings women affected by cancer together through the shared experience of reading and meaningful conversation. Each month, participants explore thoughtfully selected books that inspire hope, resilience, personal growth, and healing. In a welcoming and supportive environment, members have the opportunity to connect with others, reflect on life's journey, and build lasting friendships while discovering the comfort and strength found in stories.

Luna Restore: Gentle Yoga

Luna Restore offers gentle, restorative yoga designed specifically for women undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. Led by qualified instructors, each session focuses on improving flexibility, reducing stress, easing fatigue, and promoting relaxation through mindful movement, breathing, and meditation. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace in a safe, supportive environment that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being.
