In 2015 Vita became a Wellness for Cancer Approved Spa. One of only 5 spas in the UK to have been awarded this accolade at the time, we were extremely proud to be one of them.

In 2022, we also trained our therapists in the Jennifer Young treatments. These treatments are designed for anyone living with or beyond cancer, using 100% natural and organic products. Designed to soothe and hydrate sensitive, itchy skin and help combat some of the side effects of cancer treatment.

Some of you may have experienced first hand or through a friend, that currently in the UK most spas do not offer treatments to those suffering from or recovering from cancer. If you have experienced this, you will know that when going through cancer treatments, you want to be able to pamper yourself and most importantly to relax. Many many studies have shown that relaxation plays a huge role in helping cancer patients cope with treatment and in recovery. Treatments and their drugs can cause big skin changes and who better to help with this than experienced spa therapists. Nail changes are also experienced with many treatments and having an experienced therapist help you with the care of your nails or simply to paint them for you can be a real help.

Most importantly those going through cancer will be able to enjoy time at the spa knowing that their therapist is knowledgable about the side effects they may be experiencing and knows how to help.

We can offer massage, facials and skincare advice and manicures, pedicures and nail care advice. We have the tools to help with neuropathy and lymphodema and can work at any stage of cancer treatment including active treatment. Most importantly we should never have to turn you away. When energy levels are low and some factors mean massage is not an option on that day, we have wonderful relaxing holding techniques so we can always create a place of safe haven and relaxation at a time when it is needed the most. Sufferers never need worry about surgery sites or ports, we are trained to work with them to find comfortable positions and to work safely around any equipment they may have.

For more information on our cancer aware treatments and what we can offer, do contact us and arrange a consultation. You may not know what treatment you would like but you can simply book a time slot and we will choose a treatment together that fits with your energy on that specific day. Perhaps you will want a massage or after a hard week of treatment you may like to go for a relaxing holding treatment with a reflex point foot massage. If your skin is in need of some TLC, we can include a facial with skincare tailored to your needs.

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: Not all our therapists are trained to offer our cancer aware treatments. Therefore it is important that you book our cancer aware treatments and not choose other treatents from our main treatment menu. Doing so, could result in you being booked with a therapist who is not trained in treatments for those living with cancer. When booking online, please look for the cancer aware category. This is important even for things such as manicures and pedicures. Thank you.

This ritual is an adaptable treatment and your therapist will tailor your session to meet your needs on the day that you are with us at the spa.

This ritual will help ease tensions in the body as well as easing the mind. Most importantly we can create a place of safe haven and relaxation and help with some of your treatment side effects.

This treatment is suitable at all stages of your cancer diagnosis, from initial diagnosis, during active cancer treatment to those in recovery or indeed those receiving end of life care.
