In-person appointments for holistic massage, aromatherapy and reflexology are available at Christopher’s and Shooting Star House.
Complementary Therapy
Complementary therapies take a holistic approach to supporting your wellbeing. We offer several types of Complementary Therapies for parents, siblings, and supported children. The therapies offer an opportunity to switch off from the stresses of life and relax, promoting a feeling of wellbeing. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of using complementary therapies to ease stress, anxiety, minor aches and pains, and to help with sleep problems. You can make contact to request a referral for an in-person appointment for up to four sessions* (we hope to increase this when we have recruited more therapists) or alternatively join one of our regular pamper day sessions, held throughout the year.

What we can offer
Sessions at our hospices
Aromatherapy by post
Our Complementary Therapist can assess your needs and support you with a tailored blend of oils placed on an aroma stick and delivered by post to your home, and a programme of exercises for you to follow. This can assist with a range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, panic attacks, sleep difficulties or headache.
Pamper day sessions for Mums
Our pamper day sessions are a chance to relax and practice some self care with other Mums. These are only available to those who are not actively having complementary therapy sessions with one of our therapists. Check our events page for more information on upcoming sessions.
