We also offer a range of complementary therapies to help people through their cancer treatments and the effects of  life changing illness such as Motor neurone disease, Multiple sclerosis etc. These treatments do not take place of those prescribed by your doctor but go hand in hand with them to promote deep relaxation and general well-being.
