Cancer Touch Therapies
At Wellness with Hannah, we understand the transformative effects of gentle touch and a calming environment for those living with and beyond cancer. Our mission is to offer safe, non-invasive treatments that promote relaxation and restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit. We use Made for Life Organics to deeply nourish and care for even the most sensitive skin. Our massage techniques, like Effleurage and Petrissage, are kept light and non-invasive, reducing tension and stress, while enhancing mental clarity and mindfulness. These gentle movements activate the Parasympathetic nervous system, inducing feelings of calm and warmth, and release endorphins, promoting a sense of strength and healing. Our approach is safe, even for individuals who have had Lymph Node Dissection or Radiotherapy to the Axillary Lymph Nodes, making it an adaptive and alternative option. With natural and organic skincare, we offer comfort and nurture to the skin, especially after radiotherapy damage.
