Health and wellbeing including therapies, Support for carers,

I am a holistic therapist based in Suffolk offering a number of alternative therapies but predominantly massage in various forms. Personal experience of dementia has given me an insight into  this cruel disease, an empathic understanding of how it can affect those living with dementia and their family members and carers. Massage for Persons Living with Dementia is a nurturing, holistic, person centred approach, gentle touch based massage.

The key benefits to the receiver, include, minimising a person’s feeling of confusion and anxiety,  a reduction in agitation and an enriched mental, emotional and social wellbeing.  As the giver of this gentle touch based massage, it is finding that connection, gaining trust, being in the moment with that person and seeing them respond. Now fully trained in this gentle but powerful massage, I am passionate to share this with those affected by dementia and their families and/or carers within the community.

Regular massage sessions may help regulate sleep, reduce anxiety and agitation, comfort and improve overall wellbeing.

Areas: Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex
