The Made for Life Foundation (registered charity 1138846) was founded in 2008 by Amanda Winwood, MD of Made For Life Organics skincare company, to provide holistic support for people diagnosed with and recovering from cancer.

The Made for Life Foundation organises days filled with complementary treatments, organic makeovers, nutritional advice, art therapy, meditation and relaxation techniques along with time for sharing and hugs.

The Made For Life Foundation offers special pamper days, around the UK, along with our workshops, talks and events. Those going through cancer, whether newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment or in recovery, can come together and enjoy a “day off” from the condition.

To date, we have worked with people for 14 years to provide Made for Life days across the UK, supporting over 10,000 people.

It was the most relaxing massage session I have ever experienced. The massage was gentle but deeply relaxing and the products used enhanced the whole process beyond my expectations. Afterwards, I felt so well and having suffered from insomnia due to the chemo regime I am on, I slept so well and was still feeling the effects the next day. I can highly recommend this massage, in fact I have already booked another Cancer Touch Therapy session at my local spa.

The Hand On Heart (is), an absolutely blissful hour of floating away into a pain free space, the touch so soothing and gentle you can’t help but breathe slowly and deeply and relax and fall into a meditative state. The aromas are sublime and transport you into a space of deep relaxation. My skin and scalp (which has been battered by intensive radiotherapy) felt like velvet to touch afterwards and I felt as though I was glowing with an inner radiance from the combination of the aromas and relaxation.

Emma’s training gave informed knowledge and confidence to offer cancer touch therapy to clients.
It filled in the gaps in my knowledge and was delivered clearly and concisely by the lovely Emma. Everything made sense and the content was just what I had hoped for and more. The products are divine and enable a sensitive and carefully curated touch for our clients, they are a pleasure to work with. The upshot was I had the opportunity to practice all of the above on a close friend with cancer, who loved the products and massage techniques.

I love the company, its philosophy, its people and of course the products! Emma brought everything to life during the training. Her passion, love of the company all came through and she delivered a brilliant course!

Just wanted to let you know I am buzzing from doing the course. It was so informative and well presented. It feels like everything has come together for me. For a long time, I have wanted to do something where my counselling skills and therapy skills came together. They kind of do with my reflexology clients however to be able to do Cancer Touch therapy with people who need touch, relaxation and also a deep empathy and understanding is exactly what I have been looking for. So, thank you for the amazing training!
