The Oncology Massage Healing Summit is Scheduled for April 27-29, 2018 in Bloomington, MN at the Northwestern Health Sciences University. The conference schedule will be posted soon, and registration opens this September.
Don’t miss this unique gathering of oncology massage therapy professionals and speakers. The conference is so popular with attendees that the Society for Oncology Massage decided to hold it every two years, rather than every three years.
We plan to be there in force, and plans are shaping up for two of our teaching staff to offer an educational session on bolstering for symptom relief.
Keep an eye on this link for updates.
I would love to attend this conference however I have conflict in scheduling. I have stated the Dr. Chikly Lymph Drainage Therepy program. Very different then Dr. Voder. I am taking a workshop “heart centerd therapy class ” the same weekend as the oncology summit. BUMMER. Wish I could be in both places at the same time. Is there any chance I could come up to Cambridge and work in your clinic for a week this summer? I it would offer me a huge opertunity to gane experience. I have worked 25 clients post Ca. Mostly women. I have a potenial mail client who is going through intensive chemo for prostrate Ca. He wears a portable chemo unit internally attached into his uretha. He wants massage therapy to help with the side effects of chemo. I have taken both Tracy’s 4 day intensive class as well as Gail Mc Donalds 4 day class. I am also a member of your s4om. I wood like to become certified in oncology massage, not sure if there is such a thing and if yes, how does one persue it? my website is southport massage therapy . com if you would like to check me out.
Joanne, so sorry you can’t be at the Summit, but glad you are out doing the work. Certification courses are few and far between but to see what’s available keep checking s4om supplemental courses. Unfortunately I don’t have work for others in my clinic, but it looks like your practice is up and thriving. Blessings!
That was PROSTATE CANCER NOT prostrate, LOL . good laugh for the day
Hi Tracy Walton and Associates team,
I would like to know if there is Facebook group that I can join to be part of and in the know for Oncology Massage. I started my journey in Oncology Massage at the World Massage Festival and took courses with Christine Courtney (http://obus.ie/).
Hi there, AlVee: There are Society for Oncology Massage groups on FB and LinkedIn. I would do a search for them. I do not know if you have to be a member, but reach out to http://www.s4om.org to find out. Good luck!
