At Empatherapist we teach you how to give safe, effective and unique bespoke massage, holistic and beauty therapy treatments to those living with a cancer diagnosis, and beyond.
Our oncology massage and beauty training courses address the needs of the whole person, with relaxation and energy techniques combined with physical therapy suited to the client on the day, using beautiful and natural products which will enhance the treatment experience.
Remember that as holistic therapists we are not treating the cancer - we are supporting our clients, with empathy, through their experience of cancer and recovery.
"The wish for healing has always been half of health" ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Would you like to welcome people with experience of cancer to your private practice, salon or spa? Our courses de-mystify how to treat clients living with, or recovering from, cancer with straight-forward, non-medicalised oncology massage, holistic and beauty training for therapists.
A diagnosis of any type of cancer can be life changing, bringing fear, anxiety and practical problems to overcome. The person with cancer needs to find ways of accepting the diagnosis at a personal level, and they have to deal with the treatment plan and their symptoms as well as the side effects of the treatments they receive.
More therapists are finding that clients who have cancer, or who have recovered from the illness, are coming to them for treatments. It is estimated that one in three people will have a form of cancer during their lifetime. Treating clients appropriately who have experience of cancer is vitally important for holistic and beauty therapists.
Physically, practically, mentally and emotionally a person with cancer needs to adapt, accept, adjust and cope at every level with their diagnosis. Holistic therapies do not treat the cancer, but they offer the person the fundamental experience of touch - gentle, compassionate, accepting touch that brings relaxation and enhances the natural healing abilities of the person.
