Comfort Touch and Massage in Palliative Hospice Care
Presenter: Rayne Johnson
Tuesday, June 4, 2024, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MDT (1 day)
Massage therapists can have a profound impact on the overall well-being for those in palliative hospice by using Comfort Touch. Learn how to provide compassionate support and a sense of connection rather than solely addressing physical symptoms. It isn’t just about how to touch the dying; it is about understanding empathy and self-care.
Pre-requisite: None

Presenter: Rayne Johnson
Wednesday, June 5, 2024, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MDT (1 day)
A body worker can never know when a client and/or loved one will approach end-of-life. Gaining some knowledge and confidence about palliative hospice care is important.
Aromatherapy can help create a more comforting, soothing environment for this vulnerable population, while building trust and bringing more peace for all those involved.
Pre-requisite: Interest in aromatherapy
