Cancer Aware Massage

Cancer changes everything.

It reshapes the body, the mind, and often the spirit. But amid the fear, fatigue, and uncertainty, there is space for comfort. Massage for clients with cancer is delicate, intuitive work navigating vulnerability with remarkable courage.

It requires awareness and knowledge to adapt and provide a safe and modified massage. Understanding contraindications, recognizing the subtleties of lymphedema, drainage pathways, neuropathy, surgical scars, ports, and radiation burns and adapting with care and respect.

It’s holding space for grief, fear, resilience, and hope - Listening with hands and heart.

Using appropriate pressure and techniques, an intuitive, supportive, listening touch. Nurturing the body and soothing the nervous system.

The honor of being part of someone’s healing journey, even for a short while, has shaped me into a more present, humble, and compassionate practitioner and continues to inspire the way I show up for my clients.

With years of hands-on experience supporting clients living with and beyond cancer, this work is deeply personal for me. My own mother is a breast cancer survivor — her strength and resilience continue to inspire the care I give.

I am honored to have been trained by Julie Bach @wellness_for_cancer an internationally respected program that ensures wellness services are safe, inclusive, and empowering for anyone touched by cancer as well as helping individuals radically reset after a cancer diagnosis.

I’ve also been part of a breast cancer awareness event at Sea Containers London UK - Providing support, comfort, connection, and education to the community.

I'd love nothing more than to help you unwind and feel pampered.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this treatment please reach out if you have any questions.

I'd love to hear from you.

With love, health and happiness,

Trillian x
