Anne-Marie came to massage after over 30 years as a Registered Nurse working in a variety of settings in Australia and the UK. Her last nursing job saw her working as a Clinical Research Nurse in Oncology and her experiences with patients during this time led to an interest in complementary care for patients going through the rigours of cancer treatment. 


This evolved into training as a Remedial Massage Therapist in 2010 with the goal of making massage available in hospitals. She found Oncology Massage and after completing all four modules and training as a Facilitator, she is currently teaching in South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, and New Zealand.


Anne-Marie is the Facilitator- in-Training Mentor, guiding teachers in training through the Oncology Massage Training program. She currently runs a clinic in Norwood, South Australia, along with a position at Calvary Hospital North Adelaide, working with patients while they are being administered chemotherapy.

She has recently finished a ten year period of voluntary work as a therapist and Board Member at the Cancer Care Centre at Unley in South Australia.



Anne-Maree is dedicated to all aspects of her varied work and remains committed to the notion of Oncology Massage being available to anyone with a diagnosis of cancer.
