Susan Findlay is an oncology massage therapist, teacher, and educator specialising in oncology massage training.
She is currently Vice Chair of the General Council for Massage Therapies (GCMT), contributing to the development of professional standards within massage therapy.
My name is Susan Findlay and like most of the people I teach, I came to remedial massage 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.
