✨ We’re running another Oncology Massage Course! ✨
📅 11th April 2026 | ⏰ 10am–5pm | 📍 The Wellness Academy, Gatcombe
We have 3 spaces remaining.

After such a powerful and emotional first training day, I’m so happy to open up another date for those who missed out.

Why this training is different:

- You’re taught by a tutor who has both professional experience as a therapist and lived experience of cancer.
- You work with real clients who have a history of cancer or are currently living with it, giving you genuine insight and confidence.
- You complete a 16‑hour online pre‑study course beforehand, so our in‑person day can focus entirely on hands‑on work, consultation, positioning, and adapting treatments safely.
- If you’re based on the Isle of Wight, we’re right here — no ferries, no long travel days, no expensive overnight stays.
- You leave with a printed manual containing all the online content, plus a glossary of relevant medical terms to support your ongoing learning.
- We learn from real stories, real experiences, and real people — so you can offer thoughtful, meaningful, compassionate massage to those who need it most.

The course fee is £340, and we offer interest‑free credit through Cherry Godfrey to make training more accessible.

If you’d like to join us on the 11th April, send me a message — I’d love to welcome you into the group. 💛

✨ Alright my lovely students — past, present and future — I need your help! ✨

After spending an entire year perfecting my Oncology Massage Course (and promising myself a tiny break before writing anything else), you’d think I’d be curled up with a cuppa doing absolutely nothing.

But no.
Apparently I’m incapable of sitting still.

My husband said it’s like when some women have a baby and swear “never again”… and then suddenly they’re broody all over again. Honestly, he’s not wrong.

I do have a very specialist massage course brewing in the background — one that will take some serious time, love and brainpower to put together — but while that’s simmering away, I keep thinking about the other skills I use every day in the treatment room that could make brilliant training courses.

So before I disappear into another creation spiral, I thought I’d ask you:

💭 What would you love to see next?
- Lymphatic massage for pre & post surgery
- Myofascial release
- Pregnancy massage
- Or something completely different that you’ve been secretly hoping for?

Your input will help me decide which one to bring to life first.
I’m not saying I won’t eventually do them all — let’s be honest, I probably will — but I’d love to know what you want most right now.

Pop your thoughts below and help guide the next chapter of training at The Wellness Barn 💛

💛A little friendly reminder for my lovely students 💛

I always do my best to be flexible with training dates, especially as many of you know I’m still a hands‑on therapist too. When I book a training day, that whole day is reserved for training, which means blocking out client appointments.

Once we agree a date, a deposit is needed to secure it, and the remaining balance is due before your training day (usually about a month ahead). Deposits are non‑refundable because the day has been set aside for the course, but with notice they can be transferred to another date. Just keep in touch so we can arrange it smoothly.

As fellow therapists, I know you understand how important clear booking terms are so we can all plan our time and continue giving our clients the care they deserve.

Thank you for always being so respectful and wonderful to work with 💛

🌿 “Being here is like coming home.” 🌿

Yesterday a student returned to finish her body massage training after a long break. She arrived feeling nervous, overwhelmed, and worried she wouldn’t remember anything.

We sat, talked, made a plan around her needs — and slowly the calm returned.

By the end of the day she felt confident again, and she said something that truly touched me:

“I don’t know why I was worried… being here is like coming home. There’s such a feeling of calm and safety here.”

It reminded me how much having a safe, nurturing place to learn really matters. When people feel held, they can grow. When they feel safe, they can flourish.

Grateful for this space, and for the beautiful souls who fill it. 💚
