At Farm Girl, we believe that touch is a powerful form of healing, especially during life’s most challenging chapters. Our Oncology Treatments have been heart-led and specifically developed to support those currently undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. We understand that during this time, your body can feel like a place of medical intervention; our mission is to return it to a place of peace.
In the quiet sanctuary of The Old Bakery, we provide a safe, sterile, yet incredibly cozy environment where you don't have to explain or hold anything together. Whether you are in the midst of active treatment or navigating life post-recovery, our oncology-trained therapists are here to offer a tender, supportive embrace that honors exactly where you are today.
The Benefits of Oncology Touch
Soothing the Nervous System
By using gentle, rhythmic massage techniques and the calming energy of Rose Quartz crystals, we help shift the body from a state of "fight or flight" into deep relaxation. This can significantly reduce the anxiety and emotional exhaustion often associated with medical journeys.
Alleviating Physical Discomfort
Oncology-trained touch is designed to be low-pressure and non-invasive. It can help manage common side effects such as fatigue, muscle tension, and peripheral sensitivity, providing a much-needed sense of physical relief and comfort.
Restoring the Mind-Body Connection
Treatment can often make one feel disconnected from their physical self. Our sessions focus on nurturing touch to help you reclaim a sense of agency and peace within your body, allowing you to feel seen as a person, not just a patient.
The Healing Embrace (60 Mins) is a completely bespoke experience. No two sessions are the same because no two days of recovery are the same. We begin every appointment with a gentle consultation to understand your energy levels, skin sensitivity, and any medical considerations for that day.
Your therapist will use specialized, oncology-safe oils and the cooling, heart-centered vibration of Rose Quartz to calm the skin and the spirit. You will be settled into a heated bed with warm blankets, where we utilize intuitive, light-touch massage that avoids lymph node areas or treatment sites as required. This is a session led entirely by you—a dedicated hour to rest, release, and be held in a space of total safety and compassion.
By combining the soulful, grounding elements of Facial Reflexology and Chakra-balancing crystals with the high-performance precision of BioRePeels, Nano-needling, and LED Light Therapy, we create a bespoke journey for every client. From our deep-cleansing lavender steams to the lifting artistry of our Gua Sha techniques, we invite you to step out of the noise and into a space where your skin’s health is nurtured with 30 years of expert knowledge and a thoughtful, nurturing touch.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, when performed by an oncology trained therapist. We use specialised, light touch techniques that are non-invasive and adapted to your specific medical journey. We avoid treatment sites, ports, or areas of recent radiation to ensure your total safety and comfort.
While our therapists are professionally trained in oncology safe protocols, we always recommend having a quick chat with your consultant or breast care nurse before your first visit. It ensures we are fully aligned with your current medical plan.
A standard massage often uses deep pressure and stimulates blood flow in a way that may be too intense for a compromised immune system. Oncology massage uses "intuitive touch" a much lighter, rhythmic pressure designed to soothe the nervous system without taxing the body.
Absolutely. Our therapists are trained to work around areas of lymph node removal or damage. We use specific positioning and gentle techniques to ensure we do not overstimulate the lymphatic system, prioritising your long-term wellbeing.
Your comfort is our absolute priority. You will be settled into a heated bed with soft, warm blankets. You only need to undress to your level of comfort, and your therapist will ensure you are professionally draped throughout the session. If you have a port or PICC line, we will work around it with ease.
Of course. We want you to feel entirely safe. While the treatment room is a quiet sanctuary for your rest, a loved one is welcome to wait in our cozy reception area with a tea or coffee while you enjoy your session.
I really hope to be able to welcome you to the farm soon for a facial designed to brighten the skin and soothe the soul.
