Your touch has the power to promote healing, relieve pain and comfort those living with the effects of aging, disease or disability.

Why Compassionate Touch^® Training?

Compassionate Touch^® is a hands-on complementary approach for those in eldercare, hospice and palliative care. It combines focused touch and sensitive massage with specialized communication skills to enhance the quality of life for those in later life stages.

Our training empowers massage therapists, other health professionals and caregivers to serve this expanding population with confidence and to celebrate the mutual benefits of Compassionate Touch^®. More than a set of techniques and skills, it is a way of relating that gives you the opportunity to contribute to the quality of life of another human being in a way that is both simple… and profound.
