Comfort Touch is a style of massage that gives special consideration to the physical and emotional needs of the elderly and/or ill client. Its primary intention is to provide comfort through techniques that promote deep relaxation and relief from pain.
Comfort Touch does not require the use of oil or lotion, so that it is possible to work with the client who is fully clothed. Pillows and towels are used to help position the client comfortably.
Comfort Touch is good for those who have health considerations that make regular massage uncomfortable. Comfort Touch can be performed can be performed in any position. The client can be of any age. This is not a traditional massage and works off the principles of comforting touch and acupressure to relieve pain and anxiety. Since no creams, oils, or scents are used, it is safe for those with allergies and sensitive immune systems. Sessions can last anywhere from 10-60 minutes. Comfort Touch provides deep relaxation, pain relief, and a general sense of well- being. This can be combined with other modalities such as Reiki, Energy work, or aromatherapy for added benefit.
I will perform these in the office or on-site by appointment. Please call or email for availability.
