About this Event

🌿 The Oncology Massage Educator for Licensed Massage Therapists in Florida

Join a transformative, hands-on training designed to help you safely and confidently work with clients living with cancer.

This is more than a CEU class…

👉 It is a specialized learning experience where clinical safety meets compassionate care

🧠 Why This Training Matters

Clients living with cancer are already seeking massage therapy.

The question is:

👉 Are you prepared to support them safely, confidently, and professionally?

Many therapists avoid working with oncology clients—not because they don’t care…

👉 But because they don’t feel prepared.

This training gives you the clarity, knowledge, and confidence you need.

🤲 What Makes This Training Different

✔ Small group, hands-on training (limited to 9–12 participants)
✔ Structured experiential learning model
✔ Real-time feedback and clinical guidance
✔ Integration of emotional intelligence and communication skills

👉 Where technique meets presence, and knowledge becomes confident action

🔁 Our Signature Learning Model

Participants rotate through three roles:

• Therapist
• Client
• Observer

This allows you to:

✔ Practice techniques
✔ Observe and analyze
✔ Receive structured feedback
✔ Build real confidence

👉 Designed to build real skills, real confidence, and real impact

📚 What You Will Learn

✔ Safe massage adaptations for clients with cancer
✔ Contraindications and precautions
✔ Pressure, positioning, and technique modification
✔ Intake and clinical decision-making
✔ Communication skills and emotional intelligence
✔ How to create a safe, supportive therapeutic environment

👉 Training therapists to safely work with clients living with cancer — with confidence, clarity, and compassion
