reflexology through your cancer journey

reflexology/reiki through your cancer journey

Having worked in an NHS Specialist Palliative Care Unit since 2005 I know the concerns and issues that face people diagnosed with cancer. You are forced to reconsider your life and make major healthcare decisions. There is increasing evidence of the benefits of reflexology whilst patients are undergoing treatments for cancer and some articles relating to research can be found here

I have a post graduate diploma in Complementary Therapies for Cancer Care from Christie Hospital Manchester - on of the largest specialist cancer hospitals in UK.

I have also trained in Reflexology Lymph Drainage - a technique specifically developed ( and currently being researched by Cardiff Metropolitan University) to help patients with lymphoedema( swelling) in the arms after breast cancer surgery. Further information available here

Reiki is also a very relaxing therapy when undergoing cancer treatments and complements the work that your medical practitioners will be involved in with you.
