Touch is the first sense to develop in human beings and is therefore essential to our health and ability to thrive. How necessary it is to teach the importance of good, therapeutic touch to children of all ages.

Massage for kids helps teach the importance of consent as well as boundaries. For all children under the age of 13, I ask that the parent remain present in the room so that the child may feel most comfortable.  

Physically, as children grow they can feel the discomfort and strain of “growing pains” which have clinically been shown to be trigger points within the muscles. Massage to these muscles (especially on the legs) can help the muscles lengthen while offering relief of the discomfort of the growing pains.
