Gentle Cancer Care Therapies
Massage, Reflexology & Reiki for Comfort, Relaxation & Support
Looking for safe, natural support during or after cancer treatment? At our clinic or a home visit, we offer three gentle, evidence-informed complementary therapies for cancer: Massage, Reflexology, and Reiki – all tailored to meet your personal needs.
These therapies are widely used in hospitals, hospices, GP surgeries, holistic health centres and private clinics to support emotional and physical well-being before, during or after your cancer journey. Our treatments are delivered by an experienced therapist with advanced cancer care training, offering comfort and care in a relaxing, private setting.
Massage for cancer patients
What to expect: Massage is a calming, nurturing therapy that can ease tension, relieve pain, and help you feel more at ease in your body. Whether you choose a full-body massage or focus on specific areas (like feet, hands, or face), your comfort is always the priority.
- Treatment is designed to be soft, supportive, and deeply relaxing
- Very gentle techniques, including ‘the butterfly touch’
- Duration is always tailored to your needs, depending on how you feel at each session
- Stay fully clothed or uncover areas to be massaged if oil is preferred
- Sit, recline, or lie down – whatever feels best for you
- Movement during the session is welcome
Reflexology for cancer patients
What to expect: Reflexology uses gentle pressure on points of the feet, hands, face, or ears to encourage relaxation and support your body’s natural balance.
- It encourages deep relaxation, reduces anxiety, and soothes the nervous system
- Light, slow pressure designed for maximum comfort
- Treatments can focus on one or multiple areas (e.g. foot and hand)
- Duration is always tailored to your needs, depending on how you feel at each session
- Only the area being treated needs to be uncovered
- Sit, recline, or lie down – whatever feels best for you
- Movement during the session is welcomed
Reiki for cancer patients
What to expect: Reiki is a non-invasive, energy-based therapy. Although it is based on traditional Chinese Medicine energy concepts, not scientifically proven, many people report feeling lighter, calmer, and more emotionally grounded after sessions.
- It encourages mental stillness, peace, and emotional clarity
- It may involve very gentle touch or no physical contact at all
- Therapist’s hands may hover just above the body, so great for times when touch may not be comfortable
- Duration is always tailored to your needs, depending on how you feel at each session
- No need to undress – fully clothed sessions
- Sit, recline, or lie down – whatever feels best for you
- Movement during the session is welcomed
