Cancer-Informed
Professional Education
Designed for spas, wellness centers, integrative practices, and community-based organizations seeking to better support clients affected by cancer.
People affected by cancer seek support far beyond the walls of an oncology clinic. Whether in healthcare settings, wellness centers, spas, integrative practices, or community environments, they often encounter professionals who genuinely want to help—but may have received little education on how cancer and its treatments can impact the people they serve.
The Oncology Acupuncture Collective provides cancer-informed professional education designed to help healthcare, wellness, and community professionals better understand the realities of cancer, recognize important safety considerations, and feel more confident supporting individuals living with and beyond cancer.
Through foundational integrative oncology education and evidence-informed acupressure training, participants gain practical knowledge and skills they can apply within their own professional roles.
Featured Programs
Educational offerings designed to expand knowledge, build confidence, and support professionals who care for people affected by cancer.
Foundations of Integrative Oncology: Understanding Cancer, Treatment, and Supportive Care
People affected by cancer seek support in many settings, yet most wellness professionals receive little education on how cancer and its treatments may impact the people they serve. This program provides a practical introduction to cancer, treatment, supportive care, and the role of integrative oncology—helping participants better understand the realities of cancer and the considerations that can influence their work.
Cancer-Informed Acupressure for
Wellness Professionals
Acupressure offers wellness professionals a safe, non-invasive tool that can be integrated into a variety of care settings and applied across a wide range of client populations. Participants learn practical, evidence-informed techniques that complement the work they are already doing while expanding the ways they can support client wellbeing.
What makes this education unique is its cancer-informed foundation. In addition to developing practical acupressure skills, participants gain an understanding of the special considerations that may arise when working with people affected by cancer, helping them navigate this population with greater knowledge, awareness, and confidence.
Ideal for spas and wellness centers, massage and bodywork practices, integrative wellness organizations, and community-based programs seeking to enhance the support they provide to individuals living with and beyond cancer.
When professionals understand cancer—and feel confident supporting the people affected by it—access to safe, compassionate care expands.
Programs may be delivered as standalone workshops, conference presentations, staff trainings, or customized educational experiences.
