DISCOVERY
LOUNGE
The Discovery Lounge is your low‑commitment introduction to what oncology massage really involves. It’s designed for qualified massage therapists who are curious about the specialisation and want to learn more before taking the next step.
What Is the Discovery Lounge?
Many massage therapists have a desire to provide support for clients impacted by cancer, yet hesitate to commit to specialised training without first understanding what it involves. Our Discovery Lounge was created for this exact moment in your professional journey. You’ll come to understand the complexities of cancer, it’s treatments and, the role of oncology massage.
Through a growing library of 1-hour, on-demand webinars, you can explore oncology massage concepts at your own pace and receive a CPD certificate upon completion. Each webinar provides you with 12 months of access, so you can revisit the content between busy period of practice.

This foundational webinar is designed specifically for massage therapists who want to better understand cancer in a clear, practical, and bodyworker-relevant way. You’ll gain essential context that supports safer decision-making and more confident client conversations.
