Treatment Overview and Benefits

Massage therapy for cancer patients is a gentle, nurturing practice that can offer profound healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Treatment is adapted to meet the needs of the individual undergoing chemotherapy and/or other treatments and medication.

Touch will be appropriate to the client and their needs. Comfort will incorporate client mobility, any appliances in situ, surgical areas, pain etc.

Focus, presence and intention help to bring calm and is just as healing as touch.

Please be aware that Carole does not use essential oils within a cancer massage to remove any risk of essential oils impacting on cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy or medication.
