Mobile Massage Healing for Seniors
Mobile Service to Retirement Villages and Rest Homes
Service Description
This massage healing service supports seniors with limited mobility through gentle in-room sessions, offered in the comfort and familiarity of their own space. This work responds to the need for comfort, ease, and relief for those who are less mobile. Drawing on my skills as a massage therapist, feeling-based counsellor, and aromatherapist, I am able to provide not only physical relief, but also mental and emotional support through the healing power of touch. This gentle approach offers a beautiful way to help process emotions non-verbally, ease feelings of isolation through meaningful human connection, and bring a person back to a more integrated place of calm and wellbeing. Regular sessions can make a meaningful contribution to the emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing of seniors, helping them feel more comfortable, connected, and at ease within themselves. Travel and Shared Costs A small travel fee helps me keep coming to you. It is based on how far your rest home or village is from Opawa/Woolston where I am based, and it is charged per trip rather than per person. If a few residents in the same facility book on the same day, the fee is simply split evenly between you, so everyone pays less. I warmly encourage this where it suits you. Local visits (under 15 minutes return): $10 total, shared evenly among everyone who books that day. Standard visits (15 to 40 minutes return): $30 total, shared evenly. If your facility is a little further afield, just ask and I will happily give you a quote. When you first book, I will confirm the travel fee with you first, so there are never any surprises. Community Care If cost is a barrier for you or a loved one, please tell me, or ask your care coordinator to reach out. I keep a few subsidised spaces available, and every enquiry is held in gentle confidence.
