Oncology Massage:

The Foundation Class ‍ ‍

24 CE Hours $595.00

Registration Open

This is the introductory class designed to take you from learning the basics of what cancer is, how it manifests itself and moves through the body through the gold standard treatments: Chemotherapy, Surgery, Radiation, Immunotherapy and newer targeted therapies to actually working with clients under treatment confidently, safely and effectively. All of these treatments have profound effects upon the body, many positive and many not so. This immersive training will give you a strong sense of how best to approach and serve this very special population. You will finish this class knowing you will not only be able to keep your clients safe, but you will be able to address the major symptoms, to bring about relief from the severity of those symptoms while oftentimes increasing a sense of well-being. The Art of Boundaries, Intake, and Self-Care topics will be covered as well. Preferred Prerequisites: LMT with 1 year experience or at the permission of the Instructor. Current Massage Students must be in their 4th full-time term for consideration. Call Geri 503.781.9635
