We start the year with our first ‘tutorial’ coffee morning starting at 1015 which will be a presentation by Susan Findlay on the subject of ‘massage therapy treatments in cancer patients’. This is a subject that is frequently enquired about by therapists looking for training and advice and very often members of the public seeking help and treatment for themselves or loved ones.
Susan Findlay is the Director of the NLSSM and her work in the field of oncology massage therapy is widely respected. Join in this free CPD event to benefit from the experience available and there will be an opportunity to ask the questions you may have after the presentation.

My name is Susan Findlay and like most of the people I teach, I came to sports massage & remedial soft tissue therapy by way of a journey.
My journey began with classical dance and gymnastics back in my home country, Canada. When your body is the tool that you work with, you learn to take notice of it and it was this interest in the human body that led me to retrain as a nurse.
After working for the NHS, I made the choice to be my own boss. Still in the health and fitness field, I worked with GPs and health centres, setting up different schemes for a range of clientele. Holding 20+ classes a week and running multiple health programmes, I discovered a love of teaching and enjoyed the rewards of helping clients reach their goals.
I retrained in 1996 and gained a Sport Massage and a Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy qualification that helped me to bring all my skills together. This eventually lead me into teaching and writing a book. As life would have it my focus evolved into becoming a specialist in oncology massage, long before it was trendy and not considered a contraindication. I now teach a program nationally that offers certification for therapists to offer a much needed and appreciated therapy.
Although I am the director (and senior lecturer) of NLSSM, I have never given up the practical side of the profession and I still run my own clinic in both North London & Wales.
Keeping up with the real world helps to keep me inspired and that helps to make me a better teacher.
