Complementary therapies
At Rotherham Hospice
More than medicine
At Rotherham Hospice, we believe that great care goes beyond the clinical — it reaches into every part of who you are. Our complementary therapies are here to support your mind, body and spirit, bringing comfort, calm and a little moment of peace, whenever you need it most.
Our complementary therapies are for patients receiving care at Rotherham Hospice — and for the people who love them. Because we know that supporting someone through serious illness is hard, and that weight deserves care too.
These therapies won’t treat illness, but they can make a real difference to how you feel: calmer, more comfortable, and more like yourself.
What they can help with
- Anxiety, stress and low mood
- Pain, tension and muscle discomfort
- Sleep and fatigue
- Nausea and treatment side effects
- Confidence and sense of wellbeing
- Finding stillness on difficult days
Our treatments
From gentle reiki and holistic massage to reflexology, aromatherapy, guided meditation and hairdressing, our experienced therapists offer a wide range of treatments tailored to you — including specialist options like oncology massage, gentle release therapy and Himalayan salt stone massage. Whatever you’re carrying, there’s likely a treatment that can help.
The Wellbeing Rooms
Our complementary therapy suite, sits at the heart of Rotherham Hospice — designed to look and feel like a spa, with soft lighting, a calm atmosphere and a warm welcome. Whether you’re a patient or a loved one, this is a place to step away from the pressures of care, be looked after, and simply breathe.
If you’re not able to come to us, that’s no problem at all — our therapists can come to you, in your own room or at home.
Our hairdressing suite is bright, calm and beautifully finished — a proper salon space, designed to feel like a treat rather than a clinical visit. Whatever helps you feel most like yourself, it’s delivered with care, in your own time, with no pressure to be anywhere else.
If you’re not able to come to us, that’s no problem at all — we can bring the hairdressing experience to you instead.
How to book
Just let your care team know you’d like a treatment, or call us directly on 01709 966 000, or email thewellbeingrooms@rotherhamhospice.org.uk.
Free of charge
Our complementary therapies are completely free of charge. We’re an independent charity, so if you’d like to make a donation, it’s always gratefully received — but never expected.
Take care of yourself, help us care for others
Every Tuesday, the Wellbeing Rooms open their doors to the public. Whether you’re carrying tension, struggling to slow down, or simply ready to take a little time for yourself, our experienced complementary therapist is here for you — with treatments including hot stone massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, reiki and more.
Every appointment starts with a free 15-minute consultation, so your session is safe, appropriate and genuinely tailored to you. And every pound you spend goes directly back into Rotherham Hospice — so when you take time for yourself, you’re also helping us care for the people who need us most.
To book, call 01709 966 000 or email thewellbeingrooms@rotherhamhospice.org.uk.
