Safely treat people diagnosed with cancer by taking this day Course!

Join us for the Fundamentals of Oncology Massage Level 1 course designed to take the fear and misunderstanding out of providing massage to individuals who are living with cancer or have been through cancer treatments.

  • Enhanced critical thinking skills necessary to work with a client with cancer
  • A checklist of how to recognize lymphedema and when to refer out
