CANCER TOUCH THERAPY - MADE FOR YOUR WELLBEING
Touch Therapy Spa Rituals are created to slow down the mind and relax, bringing harmony to the mind and body and a gentle feeling of having been nurtured and held. These rituals all use slow, soothing, and rhythmic massage techniques providing complete tranquillity and relaxation, promoting a sense of wellbeing. The treatments are adaptable and completely safe for everybody, even those with a compromised immune system.
Why Touch Therapy
Current training & regulation of beauty therapists does not allow people with cancer to be treated by traditional beauty techniques, without a letter from their GP.
Over 80% of spas & salons around the UK will refuse clients with cancer as a contraindication to any beauty treatment, even with a letter of consent from their doctor.
Touch Therapy allows clients to enjoy therapeutic treatments, without the need of consent from their GP or oncologist.
The Training
I have been trained on a course provided by Made for Life Organics: a company providing holistic support for people diagnosed with & recovering from cancer.
This course is accredited by the Complementary Medical Association & is endorsed by CIBTAC & BABTAC. It was developed in close association with oncologists, surgeons, MacMillan Cancer Support & cancer specialists.
The course covers different types of cancer, medical treatments for cancer including the effects of cancer treatment, learning about the impact of lymph node removal or damage, particularly in relation to the condition lymphoedema.
I have learned how to adapt the treatments so it is completely safe for anyone at any stage of their cancer journey.
The Treatments
The treatments are like a period of meditation. They tap into the client’s parasympathetic nervous system, giving them an opportunity to completely relax.
Clients often report a feel of wellbeing after a Touch Therapy treatment, they also report improved sleep and, in some instances, a reduction in pain.
Treatments can be adapted to take into consideration any medical devices, they can be performed on a treatment couch, in a chair or even if someone is wheelchair bound.
The Product Range
Skin, hair & nails can become damaged & sensitised as a result of some cancer treatments.
Made for Life is 100% organic. It was the first UK skincare brand to be awarded a 100% organic certification from the Soil Association. It also holds The Leaping Bunny certification & a B Corp certification.
The range is vegan friendly; the only animal by-product is bees wax & propolis. The beeswax & propolis are safely extracted from the hive, impacting less than 30% of the hive & no bees are harmed or killed in the process.
The range has been used on people living with cancer for the last 20 years, with no adverse effects.
