Billesley Manor Hotel and Spa has announced that its spa therapists have undergone training with a specialist cancer trust to safely treat guests who are living with the condition.
The hotel has joined forces with the Amethyst Trust to complete extensive training to better cater to the unique needs of individuals undergoing cancer treatment or living with the condition.
The course undertaken by Billesley Manor was one of the first to be approved by a leading insurance provider and has been approved by the Industry Standards Authority for Touch in Cancer Care.
Billesley Manor’s collaboration with the Amethyst Trust reflects its “ongoing commitment” to guest wellbeing.
Laura Cherrington, director of sales and marketing said: “We believe that every guest deserves to feel welcomed and cared for, especially during challenging times. Our goal is to set a new standard in guest care and we’re deeply committed to ensuring that every person, irrespective of their circumstances, feels embraced and valued. Through this specialised training, our team is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and understanding environment for guests living with cancer.”
“There are a plethora of myths about whether massage is safe whilst undergoing cancer treatment or for those who have had cancer and recovered – the reality is that it is perfectly safe if adaptations are made. We are really proud to have therapists trained with the Amethyst Trust.”
She added: “In the past, clients have only been able to receive massage therapy with a signed referral from their GP, but with this endorsed training we are now able to welcome clients and provide treatment without the need for a GP letter and are fully equipped and insured to do so.”
