What to expect
This intensive two-day programme is designed for qualified reflexologists who want to expand their skills to work safely and confidently with people affected by cancer and those receiving supportive or palliative care.
Across the two days, highly experienced tutors Susie Ray and Kaman Cheung guide you through both the theoretical foundations and, more importantly, the practical adaptations needed to deliver reflexology safely in sensitive clinical contexts. You’ll explore a range of specialised techniques tailored to the complex needs of oncology and hospice patients—particularly when traditional reflexology approaches may not be appropriate or could be contraindicated.
With a strong focus on hands-on learning, live demonstrations and real-world case discussions, you'll deepen your understanding of how reflexology can support comfort, wellbeing and symptom relief for people living with cancer.
