Everyone deserves to feel good, and at the Made For Life Foundation we believe that everyone should be able to access wellness therapy and treatments, no matter what health condition they are living with.
Our specialist training, for wellness therapists, provides the knowledge and practical skills to equip them with the required techniques to work with clients living with cancer and other medical conditions.
When the Made for Life Foundation (registered charity no.1138846) started cancer awareness training in 2008, 96% of people with cancer were being turned away from salons and spas.
As 1 in 2 of us will likely experience cancer, it is unacceptable that anyone should be turned away. In fact, those diagnosed with cancer are protected under the Equality Act 2010, and so should not be turned away.
Therapists have historically learned that cancer is a contraindication to many spa and salon treatments. However, with specialist knowledge, understanding and confidence, therapists can support their clients at all stages of life.
We are committed to ensuring salons, spas and therapists can offer an inclusive treatment experience with the skills, confidence and knowledge required.
