What is Oncology Massage?

Oncology Massage is an adaptation of massage techniques and skills to consider the medical, biological and emotional changes experienced by clients with cancer and other life limiting diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases. Any person diagnosed with a life limiting illness can safely have an oncology massage. Oncology Massage is used as a complementary therapy and can lead to improvements in pain, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, nausea and depression.

Feedback From our Students

"I learned so much in the 2 modules of Oncology Massage that I was eager to learn more and to provide a more complete service. I have been a registered nurse for the last 12 years and finished my last nursing contract on 16th December 2024. I am now committed to private practice as a Registered Nurse; Oncology Massage Therapist and Lymphoedema specialist. From the Oncology Massage Global course, I learned not only the theoretical background of Oncology Massage but also how to guide my hands by being wholly present; loving the tissue I was working, but never forgetting the person who trusted me to work with them in this way. This ability came straight from you, Kate. Your gentle approach with us, the students, and the demonstrations you provided inspired me (or reminded me) of the spiritual nature of our calling. I could not recommend more highly the Oncology Massage Global course Modules 1 and 2 and I am indebted to Kate for helping me on my own journey of discovery and healing."

“I have done a lot of CPE over my 13 years as a therapist and Kate is one of the best course facilitators I have worked with. Her communication is excellent, she is encouraging of questions and determined that the information she is sharing is understood completely. I had been wanting to do an oncology massage course for a long time and I very much enjoyed the course and I am very glad to have learnt from Kate.”
