  • More about Combining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer Care: The Hearts Process


Massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, and relaxation techniques are used in hospices, supportive care settings, and hospitals, but there are gaps and limitations in the choices offered to patients. HEARTS (Hands-on, Empathy, Aromas, Relaxation, Textures, Sound) was devised to bridge this gap for complementary therapists, patients, carers, and health care professionals. It can be used on its own or integrated with a conventional complementary therapy and can be used easily by health care workers who are not qualified in any therapies. Combining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer Care guides practitioners in helping their patients achieve a state of relaxation and calm as quickly and easily as possible.

Massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, and a range of relaxation techniques are commonly employed in hospices, supportive care settings, and certain hospitals. Nevertheless, significant gaps and limitations persist in the options available to patients. To address this shortfall, HEARTS (Hands-on, Empathy, Aromas, Relaxation, Textures, Sound) was developed as a comprehensive approach for complementary therapists, patients, carers, and healthcare professionals. HEARTS can be utilized independently or seamlessly integrated with conventional complementary therapies. Moreover, it is easily accessible to healthcare workers, including carers, who may not possess formal therapeutic qualifications.

The book emphasizes the importance of discussing principles that may influence the effectiveness of touch and relaxation therapies. It underscores that there are straightforward approaches that can be employed when working with distressed and vulnerable patients. By gaining a deeper understanding of touch, aromas, and the soothing sound of the human voice, Combining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer Care serves as a valuable guide for practitioners in assisting their patients in achieving a state of relaxation and tranquility as swiftly and effortlessly as possible.
