Complementary Therapy

At Saint Francis we take a holistic view of your care and provide a range of therapies that treat both your physical and emotional well-being.

Our team consists of qualified complementary therapists, some of whom are staff nursing specialists trained in one of the complementary disciplines; we also have a team of qualified volunteer complementary therapists working alongside the palliative care complementary therapists.

We provide aromatherapy, massage, reflexology and Reiki; Indian head massage is offered as a relaxation treatment for carers. Treatments can take place at home, during your stay at the hospice or whilst you are with us in the day hospice. We offer an initial course of 4 sessions after which we review progress and consider whether further treatments will be beneficial.

Referrals can be made through your healthcare professionals or you can ask for further information yourself by contacting our team on 01708 753319 ext 2224 or e-mail us.
