Can I have a massage if I have cancer?

Some people use complementary therapies with or as well as conventional medical treatments to help them manage symptoms and feel better during cancer treatment. 

Scarlet is fully qualified and experienced in providing massage, reflexology, facials, Reiki and crystal therapy to clients who have or have had cancer.  She will take a detailed medical history, discuss your oncology treatment plan with you, including how your treatment is affecting you and if you are experiencing any side effects.  It may be necessary to make some adaptations to your session for both your safety and comfort.
