The Oncology Scar Specialist (OSS) course is a hugely valuable course!! It is extremely comprehensive with the level of knowledge provided in the online, pre-hands-on component! It is a fabulous self-paced platform that's easy to navigate. To be able to go in to the classroom, already having learnt the underpinning knowledge; and be familiar with the techniques being used, is really a pleasurable way to learn.
Lizzie teaches the 2-day hands-on component of the course with a great level of knowledge, enthusiasm, heart, and humanity; along with a wealth of experience in the fields of lymphatic and oncology bodywork. I highly recommend this course; and I'm very grateful that it has come to Adelaide!!
