In November 2024, Greet The Day [https://greettheday.org/oncology-massage-oncology-skin-care/] achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first oncology esthetics education provider recognized by the Society for Oncology Esthetics (S4OE). This designation establishes Greet The Day as the only organization endorsed by both the Society for Oncology Massage (S4OM) and S4OE, setting a new benchmark in oncology care education.

The Society for Oncology Esthetics is a two-year pilot program operating under the guidance of the Society for Oncology Massage [https://www.s4om.org/join-us/estheticians/oncology-esthetics-educator/education-standards-s4oe/%20]]. Since 2007, S4OM has provided oncology massage education standards and guidelines for massage therapists. Going forward, S4OE will provide curriculum education standards for estheticians seeking oncology esthetics and oncology skin care training. Both organizations are committed to leading the field in oncology massage and esthetics while supporting the safe delivery of care to individuals living with cancer.

Why Oncology-Specific Training Matters

Oncology-trained massage and skin care practitioners share a common educational foundation addressing the clinical considerations of people living with cancer. This includes managing the effects of medications, skin conditions, fragile skin, medical devices, blood clots, and lymphedema or its risk.

Education Standards for Oncology Massage and Oncology Esthetics

The S4OM and S4OE Foundational Course Education Standards outline required curriculum elements to ensure the safe, ethical, and effective delivery of oncology massage and skin care. Education providers applying for recognition undergo a vetting process to confirm their curriculum meets these standards.

Practitioners completing foundational courses through recognized providers like Greet The Day can apply to be listed as Preferred Practitioners on the S4OM website's therapist locator. This initiative bridges the gap between oncology-trained spa and private practice professionals and the individuals or medical professionals seeking their specialized services, enhancing the quality of care during cancer treatment and survivorship.

Online & In-Person Oncology Massage and Esthetics Training

Greet The Day offers specialist online and in-person education programs tailored for licensed massage therapists and estheticians. These programs equip spa professionals and private practice therapists with the skills to provide safe, supportive care to oncology clients.

"Without a doubt, one of the best advanced training programs I have ever attended." - Kenneth Roland, Licensed Esthetician, Philadelphia"This information is essential, and all therapists should be aware of it. The instruction was organized, detailed, and well-paced. A wonderful blend of compassion and education." - Jamie Andrews, Licensed Esthetician, Kansas
