How we feel is how we experience life . Sometimes we need nurturing supportive treatments for health and wellbeing and if facing challenges, sometimes we need regular reminders to be body aware to help ease aches and pains, sometimes therapy is a way to keep track on health with regular health maintenance treatments . Therapy treatments can be an oasis in a busy hurried life. All of these benefits influence how we feel and how we navigate our day to day lives. Supportive treatments is the core ethos of our work 

As a Complementary Therapy Manager at two Hospitals providing therapies to ward Cancer patients undergoing active Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy treatment,  patients with life-limiting illness and complex challenging specialist needs and palliative patients means I have extensive knowledge and understanding of working with these clients challenges. I have had the privilege to work with many talented and compassionate, Doctors, Nurses and others within the NHS and with some wonderful Patients who I have been honoured to be part of their stories.
