Project Description
The Power of Touch….
I have spent almost 20 years now treating and nurturing clients, and 13 of those years have been at The Powder Room, my wellness space. The room is warm and welcoming, the lights are low and the music ambient. My client has booked in for a massage, and we start to go through the consultation form and discuss medications. We also discuss recent medical history and then my heart sinks…it sinks because as I am listening, my clients explaining about multiple medical complaints that restrict her from having a massage treatment. My face begins to drop, and my lovely client is unawares before I explain to her why she can’t have her treatment – which she so desperately needs at this very present moment. “I can offer you a manicure or pedicure?” This has been my response so many times over the years that I’ve lost count. I’m frustrated and deflated, and equally, so is my client. But that was before…..
Made for Life Organic’s CIBTAC (Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology) accredited ‘Advanced Cancer Touch Therapy’ training has allowed me to welcome and safely treat all clients living with and beyond cancer, as well as other life limiting conditions that would otherwise be contra-indicated to massage. Safely, for me means, qualified, experienced and insured. Ensuring the greatest of care and nurture for my clients, who may be undertaking a difficult life journey.
The ‘Made for Life Organics’ product range is made from 100% organic natural ingredients. The products combine dermatological science with the strength and purity of botanicals. Every single product used within the Touch Therapy treatment is made by hand in Cornwall. They contain no synthetic chemicals or parabens and are therefore safe to use on the most sensitised of skins, including those that are sensitised as a result of cancer treatments.

What is Touch Therapy?
Very slow, gentle, rhythmical and deeply nurturing massage movements to be focused on any area of the body. Touch Therapy is akin to a period of meditation, where you will reach a deeply relaxed state of being. The massage movements used within the treatment, work to promote a parasympathetic response allowing you to disconnect from daily stresses and anxiety. Touch Therapy treatments encourage the mind and body to enter a deeply relaxed state promoting a psychological and physiological response which boosts the immune system. Cortisol and adrenaline levels lower, decreasing anxiety, stress and improving sleep patterns. Heart rate lowers, breathing slows and deepens. Nerves sooth, allowing for deep rejuvenation on all levels of mind, body & spirit.
Who is Touch Therapy for?
- Touch therapy is for anyone living with and or receiving medical treatment for cancer, including metastatic cancer (cancer that has spread) and beyond.
- It is also for anyone living with any life limiting or chronic pain condition.
- It is the perfect therapy for those living with stress, anxiety, depression or any other current mental health challenge.
- If you have a fitted medical device in the form of a PICC or Hickman Line, catheter, collection bag or prosthetic then please be assured that the treatments are fully inclusive and will be tailored to your comfort.
