What is Butterfly Touch?

Butterfly Touch Therapies is an additional certification for Complementary Therapists working in a Cancer Care Environment. This course, along with my work and experience at the Couch Wellness Centre gave me an insight into Cancer, Emotions around a Diagnosis, the Patient’s Cancer Journey, Working with Carers, Guidelines & Best Practices, Considerations and Contraindications for Patients undergoing Treatment and specific techniques such as Butterfly Touch & Relaxation techniques for use with Oncology Patients.

Evidence shows that Reflexology & Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD) are beneficial for people living with cancer and undergoing cancer treatments, as they have been shown to: 

help patients to better cope with stress and anxiety

relax the mind and improve mood

help give a feeling of wellbeing and positivity

relieve nausea

may help to relieve pain

improve sleep patterns
