Developing massage techniques for seniors in all stages of health is my life’s work.Seniors were underserved & isolated before the pandemic. I now offer an online class for basic geriatric massage. Licensed massage therapists & massage enthusiasts alike can benefit from this class.Before I graduated from massage school in 1993, I enjoyed giving massage as a hobby for my friends & family. We all have seniors in our lives we can comfort by our focused touch. Licensed massage therapists can earn their continuing education hours by completing the quiz at the end of the class.
