| HEAD & NECK CANCER AWARENESS |

July 27th is Head and Neck Cancer Awareness day. A time to shine a light on a group of cancers that often go unnoticed until later stages.

Head and neck cancers can affect areas such as the mouth, throat, voice box, nasal cavity, and salivary glands. It is important to note that early signs are sometimes mistaken for minor, everyday issues.

Awareness matters. Understanding the signs, encouraging regular checkups, and supporting those navigating diagnosis and treatment all play a role in improving outcomes.

At OMT, we’re proud to support practitioners who work with clients through every stage of treatment, including those affected by head and neck cancers — offering gentle, informed care through Oncology Massage.

Take a moment this month to learn more, raise awareness, and share this information with your community. Every voice counts.

We’re always so proud to see our graduates taking their training back to clinic and creating positive, informed change in their communities.

l COMMITTED TO LEARNING, ALWAYS l

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at OMT Managing Director, Tania Shaw, in action during the recent Restore Scar Therapy Practitioner Course in Perth just before the Massage & Myotherapy conference.

As both a practitioner and an educator, staying current with evidence-informed techniques is essential. Continued learning not only refines our own clinical practice, but ensures we’re bringing the most up-to-date, relevant knowledge to every training session we deliver.

Tania's passion for safe, effective touch therapies—and her commitment to evolving the field of Oncology Massage—is at the heart of everything we do.

l MEET TANIA ! l

Managing Director | Senior Course Facilitator

With a background in retail sales and management, Tania made a life-changing decision to follow her heart and retrain as a Remedial Massage Therapist—ultimately leading her to specialise in Complex Lymphatic Therapy and Oncology Massage.

Having worn many hats with OMT over the years—from Senior Course Facilitator and Program Coordinator to Executive Manager—Tania brings a depth of knowledge, heart and hands-on experience to every course she leads.

She’s passionate about supporting therapists to deliver safe, effective massage to people affected by cancer and other life-changing diagnoses. Her particular interests include lymphoedema, lipoedema, CIPN, and scar and ROM work.

These days, when she’s not mentoring students or seeing clients, you’ll likely find Tania cooking for her family, working on a renovation project with her husband, or (always!) making tea.

We’re proud to have Tania leading our team and helping shape the future of oncology massage training.

l VIDEO - Empathy: The Heart of Supportive Care l

Empathy is more than kindness—it's the ability to truly connect with another human being. To listen with presence. To understand without needing to fix. To offer support without taking over.

In oncology massage, this connection is everything.

It’s in the way we show up, how we communicate, and how we offer touch with intention and care. When we lead with empathy, we honour the whole person—not just their diagnosis.

This powerful video, “Empathy: The Human Connection to Patient Care,” is a beautiful reminder of the role compassion plays in healing. Whether you're a therapist, healthcare professional, or simply someone who supports others, it’s worth a watch.

💚 Let’s continue to create space for real connection in all areas of care.

We're here when you need us — for every care in the world. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/Patient care is more than just healing -- it's building a connectio...
