Bereavement Programs

Aside from the help and support that people receive from family and friends, many people who have experienced a loss have reported that it is often helpful to talk with someone who understands the process of grief, but who is not emotionally involved with the loss. <more>

Complementary Therapies

Complementary Therapies provide a dimension to palliative care that supports and complements existing medical treatments.

Having the power to touch the inner self, these therapies help the client towards a natural state of physical, emotional and spiritual balance. <more>
