Oncology Massage NZ is proud to now be a recognised education provider, having recently gained accreditation with S4OM, Society for Oncology Massage and is offering a 25 hour foundational course, starting Tuesday 15 February 2022, running each Tuesday for 6 weeks between 6-9pm.
This course will give you a good foundation in the specialist field of oncology massage.
It will also allow you to apply to S4OM, an international group, as a preferred practitioner. https://www.s4om.org/education/preferred-practitioners/
The theory component of the course is run as a six week block, each Tuesday 6-9pm. Once theory has been completed, we will meet for a practical day in Auckland, Wellington, Napier or Christchurch (if numbers permit, so get your colleagues on board too!).
The course covers:
