- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Most recently, I have been working towards certification in Zero Balancing which is a bodywork modality that is done fully clothed. This February, I will take the certification class on Manual Lymph Drainage which some cancer survivors need to manage pain and comfort levels. A couple of years ago, I took a course on Oncology Massage. Being a cancer survivor, this class appealed to me because so many massage schools tell their students not to work on a cancer patient. This seemed ridiculous to me for a number of reasons, so I talked a massage therapist friend of mine into giving me massages as I dealt with my cancer. The course Oncology Massage substantiated my thinking, but at the same time taught me the importance of being aware of lymphedema risk and chemotherapy cycles (among other things).
