Oncology Esthetician
Consultations for Patients Living with Cancer
At Harold
C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center,
our goal is to help those with cancer look and feel their best during and after
treatment. To achieve optimum healing, we believe in treating a whole person
while providing a sense of empowerment.
We seek to improve
well-being by complementing traditional medicine and surgical therapies with
relaxing treatments such as skincare and overall wellness therapies, all
performed with a passionate touch and care.
We are excited to offer
a partnership with Suite HOPE (Helping Oncology Patients Esthetically), a
non-profit that provides free onsite makeup and hair consultations for UT
Southwestern cancer patients by a certified oncology esthetician.

Jeanna Doyle is a
licensed cosmetologist and medical aesthetic provider with special training in
oncology esthetics and corrective makeup. Her innovative work in corrective
makeup has been part of two scientific studies, both at UTSW; one in plastic
surgery and one in oncology esthetics, which was presented as a best new
practice at the AOSW (Association of Oncology Social Workers) National

Jeanna has worked in both medical and media

directly with plastic and reconstructive surgeons, dermatologists, oncologists,
psychologists, and social workers. In media settings, Jeanna has worked on
print, television, and film projects with A-list actors, athletes, models,
musicians, politicians, and even a former President and First Lady of the
United States.
After

Becky Kuehn, Founder of Oncology Spa Solutions
Becky Kuehn is a leading educator for oncology esthetics training in the country. At the age of 18, she was diagnosed with
cancer and it shaped the course of her life. She realized then (and even now)
there was a huge gap in esthetic care for those going through cancer. Her
journey allowed her to understand the need for human touch, compassion, and
esthetic care when one is given the life-threatening diagnosis of cancer. After
mindful meditation, grace, and faith, she embraced her life’s mission.
In 2013, she started Oncology Spa Solutions to
inspire, enlist, and unite the spa world. She knows that she needs many
oncology-trained spa professionals in order to meet her goal of having someone
available at every cancer center in the U.S., so that no one has to be turned
down or treated unsafely.
She has trained over 2,500 people and has a team
of 12 Aesthetic-Angels that work along with her. Together, they facilitate
40-60 trainings a year. Their gifts and talents as oncology-trained spa
professionals can profoundly improve the quality of life for someone through
cancer treatments.
Becky is also the author of Life Changing Esthetics and a contributing author to The Estheticians Guide to Outstanding
Esthetics, Vol I and Vol II. She is a requested speaker at industry
conferences, and helps supply her local hospitals with programs, trained hands,
and retreats.
