Hi all. I'm in the left hand back corner today at the Wonderful Woodville Market. I have gua sha and Tui Balm 200g pottles of wax that I use in my clinic for purchase. Great for that someone special. The market goes until 2pm.

My colleagues from around Australia and trainers. I'm on the left.

It's great to see Sunshine Coast Health Institute posting something about the training I've just done. It's an amazing facility.

I am on my way home, albeit my flight is delayed, but this cute plane is parked here.

If you want to book in for next week, unfortunately I'm fully booked. There is however, some spaces in the other weeks leading up to Christmas. Remember to book in early to secure your spot.

There have been a number of studies into the effects/benefits of massage. Here's an article from The Guardian.

While they can be seen as a luxury, massages are often part of healthcare – here’s how they affect physical and mental health

Photos from the Sunshine Coast Health Institute where our Advanced Practitioner in Oncology Massage was held over the last few days. We got to tour some of the simulation suites besides the ward one that we trained in. From birthing room, ICU, operating room, it was amazing and state-of-the-art mannequins too. Great to see that integrated Health is recognising the importance of Massage as a Health modality.

The techniques that I'm bringing home can also be beneficial to those without cancer. For example, working with peripheral neuropathy in the hands and feet. Exciting times ahead.

Assessment day on course which means the last day. So how appropriate to have rain, thunder and lightning with breakfast and last minute study.

Hi everyone. I'm off to Australia again for some training and R&R. I'm looking forward to this specialist training at the Sunshine Institute of Health' simulation ward, and working with oncology clients at the Sunshine Coast Haematology & Oncology Clinic, all thanks to Oncology Massage Training Ltd. It's an amazing opportunity to learn how to support oncology patients while in a hospital or similar setting with appropriate massage therapy that's adapted to the particular individual. It's going to be challenging but also rewarding.

I couldn't resist this. One of my all-time favourite songs.

Working with organs is amazing. This short video shows how they are in constant motion. If you're squeamish, please look away.
