With years of experience treating patients across NHS clinical settings in London, Manchester, and Basingstoke, I have had the privilege of supporting people through various stages of the cancer journey using massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, relaxation, and resilience strategies.
Cancer is not just a physical battle—it affects the mind, body, and spirit. Integrated therapies play a vital role in whole person care, offering comfort and gentle support alongside conventional treatments.
For those newly diagnosed, therapy sessions focus on grounding and helping the body process the shock and anxiety that accompany such news. This early support can be crucial in creating a calm foundation to face the path ahead.
During active treatment phases, therapies are tailored to meet the individual’s fluctuating energy and comfort levels. The aim is gentle support—easing muscle tension, promoting restful moments, and alleviating symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue. These therapies work alongside medical treatment to offer symptomatic relief and promote overall well-being.
For survivors living beyond cancer, the focus shifts to rebuilding trust in the body and nurturing resilience. Integrated therapies help reconnect mind and body, fostering recovery and renewed strength in a safe, supportive environment.
In palliative care, the work holds deep significance—centered on comfort, presence, and holding space with compassion and dignity. Each session honors the individual’s experience, providing soothing care that respects their journey.
Every session I offer is guided by the person’s energy, intentions, and unique needs in that moment, ensuring an individualised approach that respects and supports their process.
Integrated (still often called Complementary) therapies are increasingly recognised within NHS cancer care for their ability to improve quality of life, reduce anxiety, soothe symptoms, and provide holistic support alongside medical treatments. It’s a privilege to offer this compassionate care to those navigating cancer, helping them feel seen, supported, and grounded every step of the way.
