When I was trained by the Bright Heart Healing Institute, I learned the importance of this very large population and how they are impacting the massage therapy field. There are physical and mental changes that occur with aging, and I know how to properly adjust my adjust my techniques to accommodate both frail and robust seniors.

My massage would be best described as moderate in pressure, yet gentle. I always communicate about their level of comfort and customize my massage to meet their specific concerns. I found that as nurses, we fix and heal others. Everything goes in as a task and is structured, but no one is touching the patient! For me there is no greater joy than doing what I was called to do. Our patients are human and still need to know that they are valued whether they remember us or not.

If you are interested in valuing your residents, contact me to discuss bringing massage to your facility.
