Cumbrian health spa brand, Oxley’s, is offering a range of holistic treatments and therapies for patients suffering from cancer. The treatments, which can be provided at any stage of cancer treatment, offer a number of benefits, such as relaxation, improved circulation, cell regeneration and the flushing out of toxins.
Oxley’s’ holistic therapist at Ambleside, Rachel Hunter, received the two day ‘Treatments for Life’ course from the Christie NHS Foundation Trust, which teaches the Hearts Touch Therapy Technique. (H: hands on; E: empathy; A: aromas; R: relaxation; T: texture; S: sound).
“We can adapt our holistic therapies to suit customers at all stages of their cancer treatment and depending on their individual needs.” explains Rachel. “We might have clients who have very sensitive skin, or areas of their body that they don’t want touched and therefore, we modify a treatment to their particular requirements, using different techniques and specific aromatherapy oils. It’s a very personal service and every patient is different.”
“We are very pleased to be able to offer holistic therapy for cancer sufferers.” says spa manager, Sally-Anne Maher. “Last year, we received requests from a number of cancer patients who wanted treatments, such as massages, so we’re very much responding to a need. Whether it be massage, reflexology or a full spa package, Rachel is now on hand to deliver these at every stage of their treatment, in the relaxing environment of our spa.”
