About Your Light-Touch Massage & Bodywork Session
Each session is tailored to meet you current needs and circumstances, providing the best possible care for you. Special care is taken to accommodate all physical and medical limitations and concerns, and to aid those who are confined to bed.
Each session is scheduled for 60 minutes, though patient fatigue often dictates a shorter treatment time. Any remaining session time will be offered to family members or caregivers who are present and wish to experience a few minutes of massage & bodywork for their own health and well-being.
60 minute session ~ $50
90 minute session ~ $75 to ensure time for caring for the caregivers, too.
Helping Caregivers, too
We are happy to teach family members, friends, and other care-givers how to provide appropriate, soothing, compassionate touch to aid in healing and well-being.
Light-Touch Massage & Bodywork is also a great respite for caregivers. Increased energy and decreased fatigue and stress will give caregivers rest and renewed strength as they journey with their loved ones. A sense of calm and peace is experienced not only by the one receiving massage, but is often felt throughout the home as well, bringing comfort and peace to your sacred space.
