Our Mission
To ensure individuals in long-term care have consistent access to therapeutic massage that supports well-being and preserves human connection.
What We Do
Comfort Touch provides therapeutic massage services delivered by licensed practitioners and trained volunteers within long-term care settings.
Each session is:
Consent-based
Tailored to individual health needs
Coordinated with facility care teams
This is not just physical care. It is human connection.
Our Approach
The Comfort Touch approach is grounded in:
Consent-based care
Licensed and trained practitioners
Evidence-informed massage techniques
Respect for resident autonomy and dignity
Collaboration with care teams and facilities
Every interaction is designed to be safe, appropriate, and meaningful.
What Makes This Different
There are few programs focused specifically on therapeutic touch in long-term care settings, especially in rural communities.
Our work is distinct because it combines:
Professional massage therapy
Consent-based, dignity-centered care
A focus on emotional and human wellbeing
Free to those we serve
We are not adding another service.
We are restoring something essential.
Why This Work Matters
Therapeutic touch supports more than physical comfort.
It can:
Reduce anxiety and stress
Improve emotional wellbeing
Create moments of calm and connection
For many residents, it becomes one of the most meaningful parts of their day.
Looking Ahead
We are currently seeking licensed massage therapists who are aligned with our mission and approach.
This work requires presence, patience, and a deep respect for the individuals we serve. If that resonates with you, we would love to connect.
We are in the early stages of this work, but the need is clear.
Each session creates a moment of calm, a reduction in isolation, and a reminder that someone is not alone.
