London
We are daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, learners, teachers and massage
therapists. We believe in the profound power of gentle touch at all phases of
the human journey, including advanced illness and at the end of life. We are
eager to share what we are learning with others who feel called to serve with
hearts and hands. Meet the Instructors Our Mission With the support of
palliative care and hospice, a growing number of people are choosing the kinds
of experiences they want at the end of life. Massage can offer moments of
comfort, wellbeing and beauty at a challenging time for patients and their
families. Yet most of us are not prepared with the right skills or knowledge to
offer this help. Our mission is to offer top-notch education for professional
and nonprofessionals who seek to provide safe, supportive touch for people with
advanced illness. We also seek to connect people with other exceptional
resources to support end-of-life massage – including books, websites, products
and other trainings. We are passionately devoted to this mission, because we
have seen firsthand the extraordinary benefits of gentle touch during advanced
illness and at the end of life. Learn About Documented Benefits Our Classes
Final Touch Training is a nationally approved continuing education provider
(NCBTMB Provider #1146). Our workshops focus on adapting what therapists and
caregivers already know to meet the needs of people with advanced illness, such
as: -awareness of “healing agendas” and why these may not be helpful in
end-of-life care -the stages of dying, including early decline, late decline and
active dying -common symptoms in advanced illness, including pain, anxiety,
shortness of breath, edema, skin changes, digestive issues, confusion and
nearing death awareness -coping with loss and practical self-care strategies for
preventing burnout More About Classes
