Heal and invigorate the mind and relax your body with Massage
Massage reaches all the major body organs as well as helping the muscles and soft tissues stay healthy by correcting areas of tension. But the basis of massage is touch ‐ and there is increasing evidence of its significant value. It goes so far as to suggest that friendliness, combined with warmth, sympathy and touch, can have a powerful effect on general health.

Who can have it?
Anyone can have a massage, from a very young baby to an elderly client and even throughout pregnancy ‐ as long as the therapist is experienced and is mindful of the client’s situation and adjusts the pressure and length of the massage accordingly.
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a therapeutic massage specifically designed to support individuals who are living with cancer or undergoing cancer treatment. Unlike traditional massage, oncology massage is adapted to the unique needs and challenges faced by those with cancer, offering a gentle, soothing approach that prioritises safety and comfort. The technique aims to alleviate the physical and emotional symptoms of cancer and its treatments, such as pain, fatigue, stress, anxiety, and nausea, while promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
How is Oncology Massage Different to other types of Massage?
At your initial Oncology Massage appointment, you will be asked to bring your recent medical history information, including your medication list and medical team information. If you are currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, you are still able to have treatment, if it is safe to do so. This will be determined during your consultation.
What happens at the initial Oncology appointment?
During your 60 minute initial appointment, 20 – 30mins of the first consultation will be talking about your medical history, medications, any current treatment you are undertaking or past treatments that you have had. Once the consultation process is completed, the remainder of your appointment will be spent receiving Oncology Massage. After your appointment, Susan will then advise you of your treatment plan for future appointments.
Please Note: For the comfort of all clients, babies & children are not permitted in our Massage rooms, whilst a parent is having a massage.
