Oncology massages are tailored to meet the needs of people living with cancer, at any point of their treatment journey. It’s now recognised that oncology massage can really help to manage treatment side effects and symptoms. The focus throughout is providing relaxation and respite from the impact of a diagnosis.
Massage cannot cause or spread cancer. Massage is safe and gentle and the treatment is adapted for each individual client to ensure they are comfortable and relaxed. We only use the finest,organic massage products and skincare.

Many cancer treatments result in dry skin, so using organic balms and seed oils can be nourishing, soothing and help to relieve itching and cracking skin.

You may be positioned on your front, back or lying on your side during your treatment, depending on personal preference or taking into consideration your cancer site or any areas which may feel sore after surgery or radiotherapy, ensuring your comfort and dignity throughout your treatment.
