 One of the most profound things I learned throughout all my various trainings is that EVERYone CAN be and should be massaged! Although there are contraindications where a person should not receive a "normal" massage due to a physical and/or emotional dis-ease, the power of touch can never be underestimated. Remember when you were a child? When you got hurt, whether it was a physical hurt or an emotional hurt, didn't you want your mom to just hold you to let you know it was alright? Adults are no different really. You may not look to your mom any more for that healing touch, and sometimes it may be just a stranger putting their hand on your shoulder...how much better you feel just with that gentle reassuring touch!! So even if a person cannot undergo a vigorous, or even relaxing, full massage, the healing power of touch should never ever be withheld no matter the person's illness! (of course, this is assuming permission to touch is not denied) I personalize my service to you individually. I also take very seriously my work with you and respect your rights, desires, and privacy at all times. Although required by HIPPA laws, I am more compelled to extend this respect with the knowledge that you have given me the most beautiful gift of allowing me to work with your most precious possession...YOU! For that I thank you. |
