Great session on client comfort - good to know the different draping techniques I loved the video about fascia - incredible how such simple techniques can be so effective - excellent to have an experience therapist in the class - I loved the practicals

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

Ian had a very caring and lovely manner and made me feel very comfortable. He was very thorough taking my history and ensured he clarified and sought additional information if required. He has a very soft and gentle technique, his draping was meticulous, and he ensured a hand was in contact with the ...

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

“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 ...

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.

Anne-Maria - fabulous, informative, connects and articulates well...I would recommend this Course to others and I do regularly as I believe it should be a major component taught in the Diploma...(not having it) is detrimental to people's wellbeing particularly in relation to lymph nodes/lymphoedema.

“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.”

Enough knowledge without getting too much - did enjoy the extra bits (ie, meridian lines) - gorgeous and blissful to give and receive the massage - it can be useful for so much more than oncology

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.

“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.”

Amy is always full of good knowledge and presents well - Tania brings lots of knowledge & experience to the Course - a great add-on to OM1 & OM2 - great job guys

It has given me a thorough introduction to cancer and oncology massage which is exactly what I was seeking from the course and my journey - the greatest value of the program was the facilitators’ experience and their ability to talk through complex components of the course work making it easier to understand ...

It gives very in-depth information on the safe treatment of clients with cancer - any massage therapist should do this course as they will at some stage encounter a client who has or has had cancer - the greatest value of the program is everything - an absolutely wonderful and informative class - can ...

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

Very practical & informative not just for oncology although primary focus - greatest value was the revision, learning something new (lots), reassurance

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.

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!

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.

Julie's treatment was thorough and thoughtful. I lay on the table full of PMR & fluid, and stood up energised & rebalanced. Julie's privacy screen was a FANTASTIC touch! Thank-you

The lectures were easy to understand - amazing supervision of the practicals - useful text and deep knowledge - oncology massage is amazing - thank you Anne-Marie and Diane for helping me and for your consideration

“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.”

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

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

It's a great subject that will be able to be applied to so many areas/things - all of it was fantastic - thank-you so much

Great course, great facilitators - great value reviewing information and connecting with other therapists

It is well-designed training for all health practitioners, and there are more and more cancer patients need OM to increase their quality of life. I have learnt quite comprehensive information of OM, that includes knowledge of cancer and scientific benefits of OM.

“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!”

Good to get new info and more practical skills - loved learning the new head techniques

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.

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

“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!”

Anne-Marie...empathetic, real, a very good facilitator who made us feel heard (good listener)...a safe environment was created that helped us to feel open & accepted...very good communicator...thank you so much

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.

Manual always has great content - the practicals were helpful and very hands-on - it was fantastic & rewarding

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

Great value hearing about complexity of conditions & treatment protocols - sharing of client stories from facilitators and others in the group was very helpful and informative

Loved it! Bec has wonderful hands and lovely smooth movements that were so relaxing - almost fell asleep a few times. Bec was very attentive - always asked me whether I was happy with what she was doing (at the beginning) but then continued her massage without too much talking (which I like more now). ...

“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.”

Fantastic - would love it to be a 2-day workshop - scars cause the body great pain and discomfort - thanks - I will be back again

“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.”

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

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.

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

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.

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 will come to this program again - looking forward to the next one - valuable information - meeting beautiful people who attended

Well presented, organised, and planned - lots of reference to other materials and reading - lots of opportunity to discuss new information learned and experiences - Amy explained all aspects well and supported and guided us well - Diane was wonderful

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.

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!

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

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

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

The Program was very practical and hands-on - a clear instruction manual - great to practice on the other students

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

“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.”

It is very specific re boundaries of therapists' scope of work - fantastic if if oncology massage is the area/field you want to focus on/in - a great team who work hard to deliver a worthwhile Course - thank you

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. ...

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!

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

It is a beautiful modality - it's very good program to learn - the bone marrow support sequence and oncology massage techniques are of great value

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 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

Presentations and explanations easy to understand - very gentle easy technique to use on anyone - the whole program will be of benefit to me and my clients

It really gives insight and awareness into how best to care for cancer patients - the greatest value was knowing the correct techniques to be able to help ease pain, improve quality of life, and to bring a sense of calm throughout a very heartbreaking time

Lots of fantastic information - fantastic practical skills to use - looking forward to bringing these techniques into practice

It will be great to have other educated peers in my regional area as it will benefit my community

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

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

Amy & Tania rock! Very informative program!

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.

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

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

“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.”

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.

Good program - extensive coverage of needs - especially enjoyed doing case studies and hands on practicals

“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.” ...

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

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.

“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!”
