Testimonials

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
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.

Takako (Student), NSW, April 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.

Sandra (Client), ACT, November 2014
Very informative. The more people out there who know/understand caring for someone with cancer/illness, the better!

I loved it, it was so relaxing. Richard made me feel very comfortable and I can say he was very gentle. I could have one like this every week.

The techniques can be applied in numerous instances - not just oncology. Support for oncology patients is greatly needed in rural and remote Australia.

Annie (Student), VIC, September 2016
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
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. ...

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.
