l GRADUATE NEWS - ANDREW RESCINITI l

From student to oncology massage professional — we’re proud to celebrate Foundation Program graduate, Andrew Resciniti.

Andrew is now working as an Oncology Massage Therapist at the Minderoo Wellness Centre, Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre in Melbourne.

Recently, he also presented his research poster, funded by Eastern Palliative Care, at the Palliative Care Conference on the Gold Coast — exploring how massage therapy can ease physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and low mood.

His work highlights the growing recognition of oncology massage as a vital part of supportive and palliative care.

We couldn’t be prouder of Andrew and the compassion, professionalism, and dedication he brings to this important field.

l A GLIMPSE BEHIND THE SCENES l

There’s something special that happens when passionate therapists come together to learn, grow and support others.

This year in New Zealand, our training rooms weren’t just filled with learning – they were filled with heart 💚

From shared stories and quiet moments of connection to hands-on practice and plenty of behind-the-scenes laughs, these courses reminded us why we do what we do: to make a real difference for people going through cancer.

Here’s a little look behind the scenes of our Oncology Massage OM1 training in New Zealand – where confidence grows, friendships are formed and skills are strengthened.

We’re proud of every therapist who chooses to step into this important work. The impact you will make in treatment rooms, homes, hospitals and hospices across New Zealand is profound and lasting. Thank you for being part of the change we want to see in cancer care.

Interested in joining us at a future course?

Learn and train with heart. Serve with compassion.

l COMPASSION IN ACTION l

Earlier this month, Channel 10 News featured a powerful story on the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre – a place where whole-person care is at the heart of recovery. This incredible charity continues to make a real difference by offering patients access to life-changing supportive therapies such as oncology massage, acupuncture, exercise medicine, and wellness programs alongside medical treatment.

At Oncology Massage Training Ltd, we are thrilled to see oncology massage recognised nationally for the role it plays in helping to ease pain, helping to reduce anxiety, helping to improve sleep, and bring comfort during one of life’s most challenging experiences.

This story is a beautiful reminder that:

✅ Healing is more than medicine – it’s human connection
✅ Every patient deserves safe, compassionate supportive care
✅ Oncology massage is an important part of integrative cancer care
✅ Charities like the ONJ Wellness Centre rely on community support to continue their work

We’re honoured to train therapists who go on to provide this level of care in oncology units, hospices, and private practice across Australia and New Zealand.

l YOUR PATHWAY TO BEING ONCOLOGY MASSAGE CERTIFIED l

If you’re looking to deepen your skills as a massage therapist and make a real impact in people’s lives, oncology massage offers a meaningful way forward.

Our training pathway is designed for qualified therapists who want to confidently and safely support clients living with cancer, in treatment, or in recovery — with knowledge, integrity and care.

Here’s how it works:

✅ Start online – build your foundation
You’ll begin with flexible e-learning that gives you an essential understanding of cancer, treatments and side effects, and why massage must be adapted for safety.

✅ Learn practical, adaptable techniques
Through in-person training, you'll turn theory into skilled hands. You’ll practice safe pressure, positioning and modifications for working with scars, lymphoedema risk, fatigue and more.

✅ Grow your confidence in clinical settings
Learn how to communicate safely with clients, navigate complex health histories, and gain clarity around scope of practice, referral pathways and red flags.

✅ Expand your professional pathway
This training opens doors — whether you want to offer gentle support within your existing clinic, work alongside oncology teams, or move into hospital, hospice or aged care environments.

This work changes lives — including your own.

If you’re ready to combine heart and skill in your massage career, now is the time.

l VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT l

At Oncology Massage Training Ltd, our volunteers are at the heart of what we do. Their willingness to participate in our in-person training not only supports our students' learning but also creates real, meaningful experiences that could not be achieved in an online training alone.

By generously sharing their time and stories, our volunteers help future oncology massage therapists learn with empathy, safety and confidence under the guidance of our experienced facilitators.

Today, we’d like to share feedback from one of our recent volunteers:

“I was glad the therapist told me what to expect before the massage, as it was completely different to what I expected. I felt very relaxed during and after the treatment which was wonderful. I start chemo this week, so the timing was perfect for me. After this treatment I will organise regular massages like this over the next few months. Peta was extremely professional, with clear communication and great technique. Thank you for allowing me to participate.”
— Pamela S.

Thank you, Pamela, for trusting us and for being part of this important work. Your participation doesn’t just help educate therapists — it contributes to better care for people living with cancer across Australia and New Zealand.

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a volunteer for our in-person training sessions, we’d love to hear from you.

l STUDENT TESTIMONIAL - WEN l

Meet Wen, recent OM1 graduate.

“The integration of online learning and onsite training was very effective. The course is informative, professional and well structured — the online modules provided a strong foundation for discussion and practice during the face-to-face training. I was also introduced to a real-life oncology clinic setting, which I would never have experienced in such depth otherwise. The knowledge and skills I gained have strengthened my confidence as a Remedial Massage Therapist.”

Thank you, Wen, for your dedication to safe, supportive client care. It’s inspiring to see therapists expanding their skills to support those affected by cancer and complex health conditions with greater confidence, understanding and compassion.

l STUDENT SPOTLIGHT - CHRISTIE l

“The greatest value I gained from this course was learning the power of slowing down, the difference in pressure, and how these techniques can support not just clients with cancer—but every client.”

In our OM1 Oncology Massage training, students discover how small adjustments in technique can make a meaningful impact. Slowing down, working with intention and safety, and truly connecting to the person in front of you is at the heart of this work.

If you’re a therapist looking to expand your skills and support clients with complex health needs safely and confidently, this is where it begins.
