Evidence-based oncology massage training for all levels
Learn effective, gentle oncology massage techniques from our highly experienced Australasian team.
In-person teaching experience
Oncology Massage Training provides training courses across Australia and New Zealand. All of our courses are delivered in person; we believe that while theory can be effectively delivered online, nothing can replace the in-person teaching experience! Our course facilitators are highly qualified and absolutely love passing on the benefits of oncology massage to each new group of students.
We build genuine relationships with our students and often see strong mentoring relationships develop during and after the courses. As well as learning new skills, you’ll create new connections and form lasting friendships.
