This service is open to adults and children. Therapists providing services in-house are all professional qualified volunteers who contribute valuable time and skill to help the charity.

Clients are assessed by medical officers and then advised therapies appropriate to need. Therapists are supervised and monitored by the medical team, who also maintain safety protocols and guidelines in relation to the client’s health condition. Freshwinds has an integrated medicine approach of combining therapies, which enables the team to facilitate positive results. This may be reviewed, according to any changes in the client's condition and response to treatment. A number of individual therapies may be combined within the programme which complements the conventional medical treatments prescribed by a GP or Hospital. Examples of some of the therapies are aromatherapy, reflexology, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, healing, reiki etc.

All services are offered Free of cost. This is only possible through the dedication of our therapy volunteers. In return our volunteers receive training and support in Palliative care. Continuous recruitment and advertising in order to maintain a reasonable level of therapist numbers is a large part of maintaining a cost free service.
