Cancer Therapies
Holistic Therapies for People Diagnosed with Cancer
At Broadway Beauty, I proudly offer compassionate and specialised holistic therapies to cancer patients. My mission is to provide supportive care that promotes relaxation, comfort, and emotional well-being during difficult times. With a focus on healing through mind, body, and spirit, I offer a range of therapies that complement traditional medical treatments and improve quality of life.
Broadway Beauty Therapies for Cancer Patients
I understand that cancer treatment can be physically and emotionally challenging. Our holistic therapies, including Reflexology, Massage, and Reiki, are designed to help alleviate stress, reduce pain, and promote overall relaxation. Each session is tailored to meet the individual needs of the patient, ensuring a gentle, soothing experience that supports their journey.
1. Reflexology Reflexology is a deeply relaxing therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears that correspond to various body areas. This therapy can help reduce pain, ease anxiety, and boost the immune system, offering relief from the side effects of cancer treatment, such as fatigue, nausea, and stress. Our certified reflexologists work with patients to promote balance and well-being.
2. Massage Gentle massage techniques can relieve physical discomfort, help reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation. Our massage therapists are trained to work with cancer patients, ensuring that each treatment is safe and suitable for the individual’s needs. Massage therapy can also help with relaxation, anxiety reduction, and improving sleep quality, all of which are important for emotional and physical recovery.
3. Reiki Reiki is a form of energy healing that promotes deep relaxation and emotional healing. By using light touch or no touch at all, Reiki helps to balance energy within the body, reduce stress, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. This non-invasive therapy is often used to relieve symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and fatigue, and can offer emotional support for cancer patients during their treatment journey.
Marika's Experience
I volunteered at the Pilgrims Hospice for about eight years as a complementary therapist before my employment. In May 2015, I completed a specialised training course in Reflexology, Massage, and Reiki, which deepened my ability to support individuals living with cancer. This training allowed me to offer targeted care to those facing cancer treatments, helping them cope physically and emotionally.
In 2016, I was honoured to be accepted as a volunteer therapist at the Pilgrims Hospice in Canterbury, where I offered Reflexology, Massage, and Reiki to cancer patients. These therapies are specifically designed to help individuals manage the emotional and physical challenges of cancer, providing much-needed relief during treatment. I have worked part-time at the Pilgrims Hospice as a complementary therapist since 2023
I am also proud to be a therapist with The Harmony Therapy Trust, an organization that raises funds to provide free therapy for NHS-referred patients with chronic conditions. As one of their approved therapists, I provide treatments at Broadway Beauty, serving clients in Herne Bay and surrounding areas.
If you or a loved one would like more information or wish to book a session, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am here to help you on your healing journey.
