Holistic Cancer Care
At Mederi, we understand that living with or recovering from cancer affects every part of your being — body, mind, and spirit. Our carefully designed holistic therapies offer gentle support during this time, helping you find comfort, calm, and a sense of balance.
We offer Touch Therapy, Scar Therapy, and access to our Infrared Sauna, each tailored to your unique needs and sensitivities. Whether you're currently in treatment, in recovery, or navigating life after cancer, our space is here to hold you with care, compassion, and deep respect for your journey.
In the UK, over 385,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year — that’s more than 1,000 new cases every single day. While advances in medicine have brought hope and progress, many conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery can leave the body and mind profoundly depleted. These treatments often weaken the immune system, disrupt the nervous system, and create a lasting impact on the body’s natural ability to heal.
At Mederi Wellness, we offer a gentle, supportive space for people living with or recovering from cancer. Our approach focuses on nurturing the body rather than fighting it — helping you restore calm, support detoxification, and reconnect with your own resilience.
Our Infrared Sauna🔥 provides deeply therapeutic heat that penetrates below the skin’s surface to encourage circulation, lymphatic flow, and natural detoxification — all without raising external temperatures too high, making it more comfortable for sensitive bodies. This gentle warmth can help relieve pain, fatigue, and muscle tension, while also calming the nervous system, which often remains on high alert during and after treatment.
When the body is under stress or in pain, it prioritizes survival by reducing blood flow to the skin and limbs, slowing digestion, and suppressing immunity. This state of “fight or flight” can persist long after treatment ends. Infrared sauna sessions may help reverse this response, encouraging the body to shift back into “rest and repair” mode — where true healing happens.
💆♀️We also offer:
Touch Therapy - Touch therapy provides a powerful, non-verbal form of support that meets a deep human need — especially during illness. For those going through cancer, therapeutic touch can ease feelings of isolation, reduce pain and anxiety, and restore a sense of being seen, held, and cared for. Gentle, intentional touch helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation, better sleep, and emotional release. In a clinical environment where touch is often associated with procedures, nurturing touch offers something profoundly different: connection, comfort, and healing presence.
Scar Therapy - Scar therapy offers gentle, specialised treatment for surgical or radiation-related scars, helping to restore mobility, reduce sensitivity, and support tissue healing. For those recovering from cancer, scars can hold both physical and emotional tension — often acting as silent reminders of trauma. Through gentle touch and mindful techniques, scar therapy helps integrate these areas back into the body’s natural movement and awareness, easing restrictions and promoting a sense of wholeness. It’s not just about improving the look or feel of a scar — it’s about reconnecting with your body in a compassionate and empowering way.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy - offers a uniquely gentle approach that supports the nervous system, which is often overwhelmed during cancer treatment. Its light touch can help calm the body’s stress response, improve sleep, and provide a sense of safety and deep stillness — something especially valuable when the body and mind are under physical and emotional strain.
Reflexology - more than just a foot massage - it’s a precise technique that stimulates reflex points connected to different organs and systems in the body. For those going through cancer, reflexology can ease side effects like nausea, pain, and fatigue, while also giving a powerful sense of grounding and care through therapeutic touch. Many clients find it restores a sense of control and wholeness during a time when so much feels out of their hands.
Reiki - gentle energy-based therapy that supports emotional and energetic healing — something often overlooked during conventional cancer treatment. Through light or no-touch techniques, Reiki helps calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and foster a deep sense of peace. Many people with cancer describe feeling more balanced, less fearful, and more connected to themselves during Reiki sessions. While it doesn’t replace medical treatment, it can be a powerful complement — offering comfort, spiritual support, and a moment of stillness in an otherwise challenging journey.
Every session at Mederi is adapted to your needs. We understand the complexities of cancer treatment, and we're here to support you — not with pressure, but with presence, comfort, and care.
