Train to become an Oncology Massage Therapist

I would recommend this program to others because it it was so informative and the sequences are soft, long movements...can be applied to more than just oncology clients...the touch can be very gentle and still achieve results

It was a very relaxing experience. I felt very safe and nurtured - very professional, very grateful, thank-you!

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.

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

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. ...

Amy, Tania & Diane were amazing...made sure all questions were answered...knowledgeable and thorough...very lucky to have so many amazing teachers in one class. This should be covered in every Diploma!

I really liked Ana's attention to consistent and correct pressure. I also liked the way every stroke felt thorough, complete, and never rushed. She was excellent at tucking me in at every stage. Ana will make an excellent addition to the oncology massage arena.

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.

Fantastic presentation...thorough, understandable...teachers gave enough attention to all students

Amy is an amazing teacher, she is open to any questions and is willing to always be hands-on with the students.

Essential information that should be taught in Remedial Massage courses - understanding & discovering the value of gentle touch - brilliant, exciting, eye-opening

Amy has been a wonderful teacher - her enthusiasm was passed on and helped me to understand the contents. The contents are well explained and easy to follow.

“I enjoyed the treatment thoroughly - sensitive and clear - clarity with directions. Felicity is warm and personable. I thoroughly enjoyed the gentle touch and I also enjoyed the firmer touch. Thank you for this opportunity - it was deeply relaxing.”

Awesome course! Loved every aspect of it and brilliant facilitator - thanks Amy!

Amy's speaking was slow and clear (just like oncology massage). All knowledge I learned here is helpful to understand clients at aged care facility.

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.

Lizzie & Tania worked well together - very cohesive - would continue seamlessly. Very qualified and highly experienced practitioners & beautiful people - the world is blessed to have such people in it. Thank-you!

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

“It was very relaxing with smooth and even strokes which was lovely. I think it was good for my oedema. Suannie was very kind and calm which helped me to relax. Thank you very much.”

Jessica was excellent - very empathetic - listened, asked questions, interested in my situation, history treatment. Massage was "hypnotic" - very soothing, rhythmical, peaceful. Well done!

“Gentle hands and a gentle touch - a beautiful way to spend a winter's day - thank you Gerard and my very best wishes to you - well done!”

“Extremely relaxing and comforting. Bernie looked after me very well. I fell asleep which was great because I have been having trouble sleeping. The holds were great.”

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!

Wonderful, very relaxing. 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.

Enjoyed the massage immensely. Leanne was confident, thorough, very fluid, great pressure, lovely hands. It felt like she was very experienced.

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

This is so important for EVERY therapist to know. I can offer so much more understanding to my clients who have experienced cancer. Thank you Tania for the kind and insightful way you presented the course. I loved it.

Oncology massage training so far has been extremely profound. Looking forward to OM2

“Yes. Naomi has magic hands. The massage was relaxing, thorough (as in all over the body) and therapeutic. I loved it!”

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

“I could feel blood flowing freely - it felt great. I think I was asleep for most of the massage. The whole thing was done professionally and very much to my satisfaction.”

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

“It was wonderful. My neck and shoulders were very tense and now they feel so relaxed. Julie was very aware of how I was feeling and put an extra blanket on. Her instructions were clear. Absolutely wonderful - thank you!”

“Yes, relaxing. I actually slept through bits. Time management was excellent covered all parts of my body as she said before starting without hurrying. Afterwards feeling relaxed but energized!”

“Yes very relaxing but also stimulating at the same time - made me more aware of my body and my sensitivity to touch. Also the importance of touching skin to skin and the subtle stimulation that excites. There was an interesting paradox in that it was a stimulation to relax.”

This course is fit for a great diversity of clients. It can be used for Oncology clients but also for any chronic issue. Makes us think outside the box. High standard education and professional group to join in.

Got to get to know other participants. I was very lucky to have such a great group of people in my training. I have wanted to do this Course for a long time, thought about it a great deal. Now to have gone right out of my comfort zone and done it, I feel a real sense of achievement.

“Anna managed to make me feel relaxed even in a room with other people. I felt comfortable and informed throughout. I also really liked Anna’s energy.”

Definitely very professionally presented - to the point, clear, well put together - good balance of content and practical - really enjoyed this course and I feel confident it will improve my work

I didn't fully understand what the course content was going to be prior to coming nor the difference between MLD & Oncology Massage - I'm super happy with the content that's been delivered. Reintroducing passion & purpose & direction into my career!! Thank-you!

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.

“This is the most relaxed I've felt since my news that the cancer is back. The massage was amazing. The pressure was consistent and just right. It wasn't so long that it was creepy (I've felt that before). It wasn't too hard that it hurt (I have fibromyalgia). Her hands didn't feel like they left ...

“It was absolutely wonderful. I felt extremely safe and well cared for. The experience was one to treasure unlike a deep tissue massage. My body felt extremely relaxed and I felt that it was responding and “letting go”. Thank you so much - I feel very lucky to have been involved in this.”

(The greatest values of the course were) the integrity, sincerity, confidence, kindness and passion of both Lizzie & Tania. Very inspirational, despite the intensity of the subject matter and case studies

Would absolutely recommend this program - information that every massage therapist needs to know - has given me confidence in an area I didn't understand previously - will only strengthen my career - see you for Module 2

Lizzie & Tania are such a great team, and the years of teaching and treating show. Brilliant facilitators and good fun to learn from

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.

“Very personal - soft, gentle - good summary of medical history. Consistent pressure and flow of movement and stroke - put me to sleep in prone position. Loved the rolling over holding towel down rather than holding towel up - felt more secure and less exposed. Lovely energy - made me feel comfortable.” ...

Very professional, attentive, caring and friendly. Best massage techniques!
