Touch is a universal human need. However, as we grow older, many of us receive less of that comforting physical contact - a loss that can affect our emotional and physical well-being. For seniors, especially those separated from family or grandchildren, this absence can be deeply felt.
Our service is dedicated to addressing this chronic need. We provide professional, caring, and respectful touch to help bring warmth and connection back into your life.
“Massage and other forms of touch aren’t just powerful for babies. Field also discovered that just 15 minutes a day of massage by a husband of a woman who was suffering from postpartum depression was as powerful as antidepressant medication.” – Gottman, The Science of Trust
“According to neuroscientist Stephen Porges (2011), mammals have evolved a unique coping instinct in which they are calmed by proximity or engagement with others. Instead of just having the involuntary stress reactions of fight, flight, or freeze, like reptiles do, mammals can calm their heart rate and reduce the physical costs of stress by seeking reassuring contact with others of their kind. Certain vagus nerve pathways in mammals have evolved to allow stress hormones and heart rate to be reduced by comforting in such forms as physical closeness, touch, soothing sounds, and even eye contact. These calming effects conserve valuable energy and also create pleasurable social bonds that promote strong groups.” – Gibson, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
