Going through invasive cancer treatment is debilitating and can really impact on your mental state and well being.
Our holistic team are keen to raise awareness of the benefits of complementary therapies within BAMER communities.
The benefits of complementary therapies for those going through treatment include promoting deep relaxation and well-being by reducing stress, optimising good health and building resilience.
