It was a real comfort on my neck and scars. It felt good to have the gentle touch. I really appreciate being asked to take part, great experience!

Excellent technique and pressure in movements. Thorough linkage of each system and connective tissues.

Very informative. The more people out there who know/understand caring for someone with cancer/illness, the better!

Kerri (Student), ACT, July 2016
Wonderful, very realxing. A lot of care was taken with taking my medical history which was appreciated. I have no experience with massage except deep tissue. This was a great experience.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I�m less scared of facing the end of life and helping people at the end of life.

Facilitators worked together so well; encouraged and supported the participants tremendously; content was extensive and well presented, good science of theory and practice. Loved and appreciated all of the tips given, appreciated the emphasis on looking after ourselves physically, emotionally, spiritually. ...

Terrific experience, I had no idea this could be so relaxing. Leanne was very professional and had superb mannerism. Will definitely have more massages.

If you are interested in connecting with others in a meaningful, rewarding way, OM is the way. It has made me aware of how much more there is to learn, and I have learnt valuable tools and information relating to cancer patients.

Maryanne (Student), QLD, April 2016
I would definitely recommend this course to any RM, as it reinforces all previous learning, plus gives you a whole new perspective of what can be done

[I would recommend the program] for anyone interested in this field of healing and massage. Very profound and meaningful work.

Elsie is a very lovely therapist and I was very comfortable from the very start. She always asked about my comfort and her hands were very gentle. It was perfect pressure and very soothing and relaxing.

I would recommend this program because there is too much fear and stigma surrounding "cancer" and yet we have all been touched or know someone who has.

Linda (Student), VIC, September 2016
Enjoyed the massage immensely. Leanne was confident, thorough, very fluid, great pressure, lovely hands. It felt like she was very experienced.
