About Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a gentle, personalised approach to massage that is adapted to you and your individual circumstances. Sessions take into account your treatment, recovery, symptoms, energy levels and what you would like from your massage.
For some people, it’s simply a chance to switch off, relax and have some time for themselves. For others, it can provide a sense of comfort and support during treatment or recovery.
Personal goals for receiving any of the massages offered can included desire for respite, easing symptoms from treatment, a relaxing, calming experience in the midst of everything that is going on.
Sessions can be adapted around symptoms and side effects such as nausea, pain or peripheral neuropathy, with the focus on providing comfort, relaxation and supportive care.
Benefits of Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a gentle, adapted form of massage designed to support relaxation, comfort and wellbeing for people living with and beyond cancer.
Depending on your individual circumstances, massage may help to:
- Promote relaxation and help you feel calmer
- Ease feelings of tension and stress
- Ease muscular tension and general aches and discomfort
- Support better sleep and relaxation
- Help you feel more comfortable in your body
- Provide a calming and supportive space during treatment and recovery
- Support emotional wellbeing during what can be a challenging time
Some research suggests massage may help with symptoms such as pain, anxiety, stress and fatigue for some people with cancer, although the benefits vary from person to person.
Massage is always adapted to your individual needs, treatment history and how you are feeling on the day. Where there are concerns such as lymphoedema or swelling, appropriate referral to a specialist healthcare professional may be recommended.
Your First Oncology Massage Appointment
- Health screening and consultation
- Discussion of your cancer treatment/recovery
- Discussion of symptoms and goals
- Massage adapted to you
- Review and recommendations for future sessions
Your Safety Comes First
Before your first session, we’ll discuss your treatment history, current health, symptoms and what you’d like from your massage. Your treatment will then be adapted to you and how you’re feeling on the day.
If there are any concerns about your treatment, symptoms or suitability for massage, I may recommend speaking with your healthcare team before treatment.
Scar therapy is available along side oncology massage to help ease tension within your scar. To find out more click here

I am extremely grateful to have found Natasha! ❤️ Being postpartum is quite a challenge in itself, so having the right support and advice is incredibly important and a total game-changer. 🌟 I highly recommend that every pregnant or postpartum woman seek support and book an appointment with her. ✨Within just a few days, I felt a noticeable difference in my body, and I feel so much more confident knowing I am under her care. 🫶 She always patiently answers my one million questions and has helped me get the key exercises needed for a good recovery after childbirth. 🏋️♀️🤰 She is consistently kind, caring, and professional. If you have any doubts about whether it is worth it or not, please don't hesitate—it is absolutely worth it! The scar massages really helped me and I've gained confidence and health back.
Thank you for everything !

Massive thanks to Natasha for all of her help, support and advice both during pregnancy and post-natal. The pregnancy pilates classes and massages were a life savour for aches and pains, and Natasha was great at giving tailored advice on stretches to help combat pregnancy related aches.
The post natal classes have equally been as useful. It has been a nice way in getting back into my titness and I can detinitely teel the benetits in my core strength thanks to her programme. Would highly recommend her classes and massages to everyone!

What I love most is her ability to tailor each session to meet individual needs, no matter your skill level. Whether I’m working on flexibility, strength, or core stability, Natasha always knows how to push me just the right amount without ever overloading me. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my posture, strength, and overall energy levels since I started, and I always leave feeling energized and centered. So glad i found her!

Natasha’s Simple Changes Pregnancy Pilates classes are amazing! The exercises really helped relieve my pregnancy symptoms, and Natasha is incredibly knowledgeable about pregnancy and birth. I highly recommend the package that includes the Pregnancy Massage - it was so relaxing and exactly what I needed towards the end of my pregnancy. I also attended Natasha’s Birth Preparation Course, which was extremely helpful. The classes are a great way to meet other local women at the same stage of life, share experiences, and learn from one another. I can’t recommend Natasha’s classes highly enough.

Really great experience with Natasha for my c-section scar rehab. She is clearly a specialist and very knowledgeable - she had my scar and stomach feeling much more engaged and flexible after just one session. I booked a course of six sessions, and I am so glad I did as every time I have a session my scar is so much better in movement, swelling and appearance afterwards. After three sessions I have no pooch or overhang. The sessions are relaxing and the core exercises to do in-between have been great - far better than I could find trying to DIY it on YouTube. My goal was to get back to weight training safely with my postpartum body and Natasha has 100% helped me achieve that - I'll be going back to the gym feeling strong. Highly recommended - thank you Natasha.

I’ve been attending Natasha’s mat Pilates sessions for several years, great all round and varied workouts, and she has a great eye for detail and encouragement to improve technique, and breathing!! 😊

I was kindly gifted a pregnancy massage with Natasha and thoroughly enjoyed it. Natasha instantly put me at ease and gave me great advice. Thankfully when meeting Natasha she also mentioned c-section scar massage sessions which i didnt know exsisted. I am currently 9 months postpartum and recently completed 3 c-section scar massages, it was amazing! Not only was it relaxing but I experienced great results after just 1 session, I would highly recommend having a session with Natasha.
I am looking forward to having more massage sessions in the future and trying out the pilates sessions too 🙂

I was fortunate to be recommended Natasha for massage when I was suffering with stiff sore muscles in my back. Gentle and thorough, she eased them back into full mobility. I also had the scar massage which improved and balanced my abdominal muscles even though it was many years since the surgery. Having had massages many times before from others, Natasha has been the best!

I enrolled because of lower back pain related to poor core muscle strength (I also have recti divarication and bulging spinal discs). Pilates came by recommendation from a rheumatologist. I am so glad I started Pilates with Natasha. After five months I'm starting to feel less intense back ache for the first time in years. Natasha's way of guiding you through the moves, encouraging, supportive, knowledgeable and personalised ensuring you only do moves that are suitable for your condition enables you to not only enjoy the sessions but see results. It's a joy to do each week and this is coming from someone who has never stuck with exercise/gym/even physio treatment. Absolutely highly recommended!

I would highly recommend the massage followed by weekly pilates sessions with Natasha if you want to really improve your core strength. After 3 C-section surgeries I had almost given up on things improving, but I’m thrilled to say they now are! Thank you Natasha.

I signed up to Pilates as I suffer with a back problem. I have noticed an improvement with this through attending the sessions. Natasha is very supportive and encouraging. It's a lovely welcoming atmosphere and I look forward to Monday evenings. All corrections are made in a discreet way and Natasha ensures that you work at a level that is right for you. I am really glad I signed up to the group and look forward to attending more pilates sessions with Natasha

I'm visiting in Datchet for a month and was so fortunate to find Natasha. I booked a weekly sports massage during my stay. After just the first session, I already felt improvement. She is knowledgeable about various techniuqes and understands body mechanics very well. As a massage therapist in the US myself, I was beyond happy with her knowledge and touch. I highly recommend her for regluar treatments or if you just need a little relaxing.

Attended pregnancy pilates over the last year. It was really easy to book and the sessions were incredibly helpful to keep aches and pains at bay. They also helped prep me for labour. Would highly recommend for any soon to be mums.

I’ve loved visiting Natasha throughout my pregnancy for Pilates and the most relaxing massages. I’d highly recommend to anyone who is expecting. A great way to learn about your body in pregnancy, speak to fellow mums and learn from Natasha’s trusted experience in this field, as as a mum herself.

Natasha is so knowledgeable and dedicated and a real gem to find
I have always resisted anyone touching my reconstruction scar but now would not hesitate recommending this to anyone wanting to feel better.
So grateful for Natasha’s expertise and caring

I have been attending Pilates sessions with Natasha for over 7 years. From pregnancy Pilates to post pregnancy and to weekly Pilates sessions. Natasha is very attentive and always tailors exercises to your needs and abilities. Highly recommend her classes especially if you have tight shoulders and an achy back. The stretches really help. Plus the relaxation session at the end is the best bit!

I attended pregnancy pilates with Natasha throughout my pregnancy. I found the class really enjoyable way to move especially as I got bigger. Natasha is very knowledgeable and when I found out my baby was breech and then transverse she gave me extra advice on exercises to move baby into a head down position...which worked a treat. I also had 2 pregnancy massages with her which were just what I needed when feeling heavy and achy. I will definitely be returning to Natasha's class to aid in my postpartum recovery.

I was holding so much tension in my lower abdomen following my c section, and the c section therapy massage helped so much! Definitely recommend for any mum who is feeling like something just seems off with her scar, even when it looks fully healed.

I've worked with Natasha for a number of years and she has guided me through both of my pregnancies. I was looking for a personal trainer who specialised in women's health and pregnancy. Natasha has been amazing, leaving me feeling confident and strong after each session. I can't recommend her enough and will be booking in with her to help with my postnatal recovery. Thank you Natasha 😊
Breast Cancer Rehabilitation
Alongside oncology massage, I also offer specialist exercise support for women recovering from breast cancer treatment.
Breast cancer surgery and treatment can affect strength, shoulder and arm mobility, posture, energy levels and confidence. A personalised rehabilitation programme can help you gradually rebuild strength, improve movement and get back to feeling more comfortable and capable in your body.
Sessions are tailored to you and your stage of recovery and may include:
- Gentle mobility and range-of-movement exercises
- Gradual strength and resistance training
- Posture and core work
- Exercises to support shoulder and arm function
- Building fitness and stamina as your energy allows
- Support with returning to exercise after treatment
Whether you are preparing for surgery, recovering from treatment or looking to rebuild your strength afterwards, we work at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
Your programme is always adapted to your treatment history, medical needs and how you are feeling on the day. Medical clearance may be required before starting.
