Oncology
So many people are, or have been, affected by cancer. The diagnosis, treatment and life after treatment is a difficult process for both the patient and their loved ones. The side effects of cancer can sometimes cause debilitating symptoms, even after the cancer has gone and treatment has finished.
For some the cancer might be gone but they still live with the fear and anxiety of the cancer returning. For others sadly the cancer has spread, meaning that they now have a secondary and terminal cancer.
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage offers gentle, safe and effective massage techniques that are comforting and nurturing for anyone with cancer, a history of cancer or in a fragile state of health. It is a mindful massage that is adapted to suit the needs of, and to work safely with, the person who has cancer. Oncology massage is a therapeutic form of massage provided by a specifically trained therapist to identify the unique and special needs of people with cancer and perform a safe and supportive massage.
As a patient you are often prodded and poked during your treatment. Oncology massage can provide you with that nurturing touch that often is lacking during harsh treatments. This touch combined with the therapeutic benefits makes massage a great tool during your cancer journey.
Meditation to support pain, illness and dying
Chronic pain and/or a cancer diagnosis is one of the most overwhelming and life consuming experiences a human can have. Meditation can bring moments of peace to these overwhelming circumstances. People who meditate often experience peace during their meditation; which can infuse into their daily life, allowing them to feel at peace in such challenging, demanding and emotional times. Family members are not always able to have open conversations around pain, illness and death.
Learning simple breathing techniques and grounding are great tools that can support you when in pain, waiting for scans, appointments, surgery and awaiting results. Having a tool that allows you to get in touch with your feelings and emotions can be very confronting yet comforting.
It is an honour to support and guide people to help them finding peace within in their own time and space.
