Safe Hands for Cancer at Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa

For anyone going through cancer treatment, a spa break can offer a sense of positive wellbeing and restoration for the mind and body while it’s going through so much. It can also be a welcome opportunity to spend time dedicated to loved ones, away from the clinical setting of treatment and hospital. However, finding a spa experience that is both safe and meaningful whilst undergoing cancer treatment hasn’t always been straight forward. Now, thanks to Safe Hands for Cancer, the process of finding a spa that’s right for you is simple, meaning you can focus on the joy of a spa break and not on the red tape caused by cancer. Here, we talk about Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa and what makes it so special as well as safe…

It’s a magical country house hotel 

A 19th century manor house hotel, Ringwood Hall is surrounded by 29 acres of parkland and six acres of formal gardens, which really set the tone for your experience. The views from each corner of the hotel are joyful and peaceful, while the hotel itself is all about historic grandeur fused with modern comfort - including a number of rooms with four poster beds.

They have a spa themed around vintage botanical gardens  

The spa really is the piece de resistance at the hotel. A feast of facilities, beautiful products and excellent service, it is a contemporary space with a touch of vintage throughout. Facilities include (but are not limited to) a hammam, a kidney shaped vitality pool with infinity edge looking into woodland gardens and a vitality section for up to eight people, making it perfect for groups. The whole theme of the spa taps into the hotel’s history, with a Victorian garden theme. There’s a distinctly botanical style throughout and features such as a blossom steam room with a rose essence for calming and a herbal sauna that uses herbs from the garden. Meanwhile, The Treehouse relaxation room gives the impression of being up amongst the treetops.

They offer Jennifer Young treatments for cancer patients

In 2018, The Garden Secret Spa launched Jennifer Young ‘Beauty Despite Cancer’ treatments allowing cancer patients the opportunity to enjoy a full spa experience. Jennifer Young is one of the leading training providers and product manufacturers, enabling therapists to provide safe and adaptable spa treatments for cancer patients at all stages of their cancer journey. Her products are luxurious and indulgent whilst minimising any reactions on skin that’s become sensitive due to cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In particular, the spa offers Jennifer Young’s Glowing Facial, Indulgent Massage and specialist manicures and pedicures.

Spa treatments for cancer patients

The Jennifer Young spa treatments available at Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa are just as joyful as any other spa treatment, the difference is knowing that the products and movements are safe for the sensitivities caused by cancer treatment. So you can have a spa experience that’s just as meaningful as anyone else, but tailored to meet your particular nurturing needs. To give you an idea, here’s what you can expect:
