Treatment Overview and Benefits
Massage therapy for cancer patients is a gentle, nurturing practice that can offer profound healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Treatment is adapted to meet the needs of the individual undergoing chemotherapy and/or other treatments and medication.
Touch will be appropriate to the client and their needs. Comfort will incorporate client mobility, any appliances in situ, surgical areas, pain etc.
Focus, presence and intention help to bring calm and is just as healing as touch.

The Indian Head Massage was just what I needed. It helped ease the pressure from my head, neck and shoulders after a tricky few weeks keeping a borderline migraine at bay. Wayne quickly put me at ease and outlined what to expect, duration etc . This meant I could relax into the experience and enjoy it. Wayne teased out some knotty bits in my shoulders too. My hair was drenched in oil with the added benefit that when I washed it later, the condition was fabulous. Needless to say, I had a good night of sleep.
Hi Caroline. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for our Indian Head Massage. We're very happy to hear that we were able to provide you with a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
With very best wishes to you.
I had a wonderful massage with Emily last week. Everything was very relaxing and calm from the welcome at Cosy Cottage onwards. My muscles were much tighter than I had thought and afterwards I felt so much looser. I've felt the benefits all week!
My massage was done by Emily last week.
I found it a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing experience.
Various of my muscles were tight and I asked for additional work to be done on those. When I left I was feeling much more relaxed, and those tight muscles were feeling much better.
I would recommend, and will be booking in again.
I had a full body massage with Alex and came away feeling so relaxed! Their products are amazing quality and my skin felt so soft afterwards. I came in with lots of tension knots but left feeling like I could float! I would highly recommend this treatment and will definitely be returning.
