Gentle Senior Massage

My Approach

Touch is an essential element of who we are. As we adapt to the effects of age and illness, a massage that adapts to our changing needs can play a key role in health and well-being. I bring massage to seniors in assisted living homes, long-term care and hospice. Sessions combine one-on-one focused attention, intentional touch and sensitive massage along with specialized communication skills to enhance life for seniors throughout the aging process.

All sessions are done clothed in a recliner, bed or other comfortable location in the client’s home and provide 30 minutes of hands-on-time. A shorter or longer session can be provided, depending on what is needed.

Training

I have extensive training working with seniors in this style of massage, learning Compassionate Touch and hospice massage from pioneers in the field. I spent many years as both a hospice volunteer and hospice massage therapist with several different organizations in the area. I bring a loving heart to my work along with a therapeutic touch that is safe, effective and enjoyable.
