WELLBEING DAY AT MAYSLAND HOLISTIC RETREAT

Pink Wishes organised a Wellbeing Day for anyone affected by cancer at Maysland Holistic Retreat, Essex.

The retreat, surrounded by animals and countryside, provided a magnificent setting for the day. The therapists Linda, Melanie and John were all warm, friendly and extremely welcoming, instantly putting everyone at ease.

Cancer suffer Janet Lavin, 50, currently undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer had reflexology, hypnotherapy, back massage and went in the steam shower. Janet said “Its been lovely, so relaxing, surrounded by animals and countryside the retreat has a very warm, welcoming atmosphere”. Janet also said “the reflexology was not only relaxing, it was informative as well, the therapist told me that my kidneys needed water, which was amazing as I hadn’t had any to drink that day”. When Janet finishes her treatment in April, her dream is to meet Donny Osmond!

Pink Wishes asked the Therapists to take a few moments to have a chat about the Wellbeing Day:

Why did you agree to run a wellbeing day for Pink Wishes?

Linda: Its nice to give back to people who need it and to really feel like you are helping them. Mel: Its nice to know that you can make someone’s day brighter and happier, its also nice to be able to give back. John: Its nice to help people and feel beneficial to the world.

How does it make you feel at the end of the day, knowing how you have helped people?

Mel: it’s the reason I love my job, being able to give back and Linda: it’s great, you feel uplifted and its brilliant to be able to help people. John: It was nice to see the sufferers open up to each other and be able to talk about their fears and angers etc as its often harder to discuss these things with family and friends. During the hypnotherapy session I like to give people something that they can take away with them and do at home.
Linda, how do the treatments you provide help the cancer sufferers?

Linda: Chemotherapy and treatment for cancer strips the immune system, the reflexology helps to balance the body by clearing toxins and strengthening the immune system, so it helps the toxic residue of the treatment clear quicker. It also gives a general feeling of wellbeing and a feel good factor. It usually takes a few reflexology treatments for the body to regain normality and balance again.
