Gentle, unobtrusive, mindful adapted massage and reflexology are highly appreciated sessions available to you and your family. Providing substantial comfort and relaxation for you, during this time of your life.
I trained at Our Lady’s Hospice and Care Services where I worked as a Professional Volunteer Complementary Therapist for 20 months. I am presently volunteering at St Francis Hospice.
I initially trained with Christine Clinton on a programme developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, New York which has been found to help reduce the levels of anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. I have taken further training in Aromatherapy and Reflexology for Cancer Care and Pallliative care. I sometimes include “HEARTS” and the “M” Technique in my sessions, depending on a persons preference on the day. I have had the priviledge of training with world renowned Teachers and Authors including Rhiannon Lewis, Gayle MacDonald, Carol Donnelly, Dr Jane Buckle, Anne Carter and Christine Clinton.
I can offer you this service at my home or yours, at hospital or hospice which ever is most comfortable for you. At a time when you are most vulnerable and need to be cared for, no matter where you are in your chemotherapy or radiation programme, a comforting adapted massage, reflexology or aromatherapy session may be just what you need. You will have an individual consultation and as with all sessions complete Confidentiality is assured at all times.
Essential oils aromas of Neroli, Lavender, Frankincense, Sweet Orange, Rose, Mint Bergamot to name but a few can be included in sessions if you wish. All essential oils and carriers will not contain ingredients, textures or fragrances which can prove irritating to those with already compromised skin or health. To ensure the highest standard of care for you, and to deepen my knowledge of Aromatherapy and first and foremost to work safely, I have trained in the use of Essential Oils for Palliative Care at the Milford Hospice, St Francis Hospice and in Provence with Essential Oil Resource Consultants.
