While anyone seeking a relaxing getaway can find what they need at Luxe Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel, Carlingford, it is also suitable for guests living with cancer or with a history of cancer.

A diagnosis like cancer can make it feel like the world has stopped, but the day to day stresses of life don’t cease to exist, and a spa break experience can add a much needed sense of normalcy and mental repose for those coping with the illness.

Cancer can bring about a whirlwind of emotions, stress, and uncertainty and the opportunity to take a moment for yourself can help to ease the tension.

The Luxe Spa offers a range of treatments designed to cater to the unique needs and sensitivities of individuals undergoing oncology treatments.

Comfort and care are the top priorities of the highly educated and trained team at The Luxe Spa, and they are firm in their commitment to providing a peaceful sanctuary where you can find solace and rejuvenation during this challenging time.

There are specific emotional and physical challenges that can be faced by oncology patients, and the team are on hand to offer gentle, nurturing experiences that promote an eased mind and alleviate discomfort through their experiences..

These unique treatments are performed by their qualified therapists who can now identify the specific side effects brought on by short term and long-term cancer medicines, and have learned how to bring comfort and compassion to their clients.

One of their most popular treatments is the Gentle Touch Full Body massage, which uses featherlight strokes to encourage relaxation with a therapeutic touch. This tender approach to massage therapy helps with the alleviation of stress and tension often experienced by those undergoing cancer treatments.

It can also aid in improving circulation, reducing muscle soreness, and promoting better sleep. The Gentle Touch Full Body Massage is €100 for 50 minutes of therapy, or €145 for an extended 80 minute immersion in total bliss.

The Luxe Spa Gentle Touch VOYA Facial is also very popular, and is specially designed for sensitive skin. It includes a gentle hand and arm massage, scalp massage or foot massage, and deeply nourishing and hydrating seaweed facial oil massage. The treatment is €100 for 50 minutes of pampering.

Each of The Luxe Spas trained therapists are schooled in the various aspects of oncology massage, including understanding the benefits of massage for cancer, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

They fully understand the safety cautions for performing massage at various stages of oncology treatment, can adjust and adapt each treatment to suit the individuals needs, and work with people with specific medical adaptations such as catheters, ports, and ostomy bags.

The specially trained treatment providers want to ease the burden of side effects for guests pre or post chemotherapy and radiation treatment and create a safe and tranquil place for people to forget their worries for a moment.
