The logo of HER Breast Friends is a butterfly and the Buddleia bush is well known for attracting butterflies but it is also a symbol of adversity and survival within a changing environment
The Buddleia Bush
This was the basis for naming our therapy service ‘Buddleia’.
The NEW Buddleia Complementary Therapies Service opened its’ doors on 1st November 2016
Buddleia Complementary Therapies is a service of HER Breast Friends and offers a range of complementary and beauty therapies delivered in a safe and supportive environment by fully qualified and insured therapists who know how to adapt their therapies for cancer patients.
Breast Cancer Clients
We are delighted to announce our new FREE programme of therapies to be offered to all NEW clients of Buddleia who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer. This includes an initial confidential consultation with one of our fully qualified therapists to discuss the options available and agree the therapies that will best support your needs. You will then be issued with vouchers for 3 FREE therapies of your choice.
After you have completed your programme of FREE therapies we hope you will want to continue having therapies with us but at this point we do ask you to make a contribution. We are often asked what would be a suitable donation for breast cancer clients to make, and whilst we suggest a donation of £15 per treatment, any donation is gratefully received.
Vouchers can be obtained in advance of your appointment from the Charity or purchased on the day prior to your therapy.
‘Pampering with a Purpose’ Gift Vouchers
Breast cancer patients are our priority for appointments, but the service is open to ALL.
Come and enjoy a relaxing therapy in the knowledge that your financial contribution is supporting the service. We ask these clients to make a minimum donation of £15 per 30 minute treatment voucher.
All vouchers are available from the HER Breast Friends office and can be purchased for yourself or to give as gifts for birthdays or Christmas in the knowledge that you are supporting such a valued service – it feels good!
