Oncology Massage Program

The Training Program is being reformatted to include online classes.

Classes will resume in Spring, 2023.

 

CATA has developed a groundbreaking program to prepare Licensed Massage Therapists to work in the field of oncology massage.

“All the instructors are caring, flexible, attentive, and seasoned professionals, making each class a truly enjoyable learning experience.”

“In a profession that can, at times, be isolating, the Oncology Massage Program has brought together LMT colleagues and supportive faculty, a new community focused on care for oncology clients.”

“I came to this program eager to learn new techniques to apply to both my oncology massage and general bodywork practice—and CATA has not disappointed!”
