Our lovely member, Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa, the luxury spa resort set within 400 acres of private woodland and deer park in the northern Lake District, is proud to introduce Cancer Touch Therapy™ treatments in partnership with The Made for Life Foundation, for those currently living with or recovering from cancer. Cancer Touch Therapy was developed, taking advice from trained oncology massage teachers, advisors within the oncology team at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust and also Macmillan. Marc Innes, MISRM, MCMA and Founder of the School of Natural Therapies is the lead trainer and gained accreditation for this course from the Complementary Medical Association (CMA).
The Cancer Touch Therapy treatments available at Armathwaite Hall include the nurturing and calming ‘Hand on Heart’ treatment for the head, face, back and shoulders, ‘Catch the breath’ back and head treatment, ‘Touch Therapy Deeply Relaxing Touch’ for face or body and the ‘Soothe and Nurture’ organic facial.
The treatments all use award winning, ethically accredited Made for Life Organics products. Hand blended in Cornwall, the 100% organic products are infused with natural botanicals and are delicately scented and do not contain any synthetic chemicals or parabens, so are suitable for the most fragile skin. The treatments provide guests with a remarkably comforting experience, allowing an opportunity to truly relax.
“We are absolutely delighted to be working with The Made for Life Foundation and our team of therapists have welcomed the specialist training for guests going through cancer. We have always prided ourselves on being inclusive but the new Cancer Touch Therapy™ treatments mean we can now provide enjoyable and relaxing experiences for all.” said Roberta Griffiths, Spa Director, Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa.
Amanda Barlow, MD of Made for Life Organics and Founder of the Made for Life Foundation said "At a time when a therapeutic and nurturing touch is most needed, 96% of spas still turn people away whilst they are going through cancer. We believe that all spas should be accessible. Through our work with the Made for Life Foundation (registered charity 1138846) we have for 15 years, consistently ensured that we provide this support; using appropriate protocols combined with our 100% organic skincare and wellbeing range of products. Our CMA accredited Cancer Touch Therapy training course has given the exceptional therapists at Armathwaite Hall the skills to confidently open their doors to anyone going through cancer and provide much needed support.”
