The Devonshire Arms is a place I have loved to visit over the years and, with a recent visit to it’s gorgeous boutique spa, it’s lovely to see the spa launch a holistic and 100% natural, organic spa treatments and products, designed specifically for those living with, and beyond, cancer.
The Jennifer Young range of holistic treatments and products enables those who have or have had cancer to experience the same access to high quality, restorative spa treatments as they did before diagnosis.
Spa treatments developed with the NHS
‘The Defiant Beauty range’ was pioneered by Jennifer Young, born from her experience and expertise in nutrition, micro-biology, beauty therapy and product development, as well as her frustration in witnessing this gap in the spa market – Jennifer is one of the leading UK authorities on post-cancer care. It was developed in collaboration with NHS, oncologists, nurses and patients themselves. Historically, it was often the case that at this most needful time for self-care, those affected by cancer were often turned down for spa treatments due to a lack of appropriate resources and skills to provide a bespoke solution.
Giving me time a reality for people living with cancer
Kerry Service, Spa Manager at The Devonshire Arms says, “We feel that this is a much needed area of our spa’s development, at times it has been frustrating to turn down clients, who we would have really loved to have treated, often when they as individuals needed to feel relaxed, nurtured and receive a boost to their self-esteem, more so than at any other time.

“We feel that the range is a perfect fit for our spa too, as its somewhere peaceful and intimate, a place to escape from the world outside, and simply be. We have embraced the whole range of Jennifer Young treatments on offer, and we will encourage our clients to pick and choose the right treatments for their needs, whether it be individual treatments, a course of treatments, or as part of our great value day spa and residential packages.”

The Jennifer Young range of organic products is gentle, nourishing and indulgent, packed with essential oils to create memorable smells, which uplift the senses and prompt positive emotions as well as therapeutic benefits. Specifically developed for those living with and beyond cancer, as well as those with particularly sensitive skin, the treatments themselves have been mindfully developed to ensure that the best care and practise is administered, encouraging a sense of well being, balancing, nurturing and restoration.
Giving back to charity
Even better that with each Jennifer Young treatment booked the hotel will donate £1 to the Macmillan Cancer Support charity.
