No other time in life are these skills more valued than in hospice care, at the end of life.</span><br /></span><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Massage therapists may be drawn to healthcare, and they may again be called to compassionate work through provision of touch that nurtures those who may feel isolated, may be suffering. Hospice massage / comfort massage, is a specialized practice. It requires that therapists with massage certification understand hospice practices, a team approach, boundaries and self care; as well as adaptation of a variety of bodywork therapies to apply appropriately.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />Hospice professionals are additionally the natural massage and bodywork therapists for the job. They come with years of education in nursing, social work, pastoral care... and with the additional training of a stress relieving bodywork therapy, the application of that in a hospice program has benefits too numerous to mention here. </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">This blog post will</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> list hospice massage training programs:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Circle of Life: Hospice and Palliative Massage Workshop</span>:<br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Founded and Instructed by Valerie Hartman RN, CHPN, CTRN</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Weekend workshop focusing on hospice theory, sensitivity to those living with advanced illness. </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Basic hospice massage theory and practice, integrating hospice massage into traditional hospice care.</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><br />Massage therapist CEU's / certificate of attendance</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);font-size:100%;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><span>www.hospicemassage.com</span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><br />July 12, 13, 2008</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Concord, NC<br />Contact Rene Shuford / 704 795 7478<br />www.blueridgehealingarts.com<br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><br />August 9,10, 2008</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><span>Langhorne, PA</span><br /><span>Contact Beth Scott / 215 750 0700</span><br /><span>www.professionalschoolofmassage.com</span></span><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Compassionate Touch, pioneered by Dawn Nelson, LMT<br />Directed by Ann Caitlin, OT, LMT<br />Certification training program I &amp; II<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The 'M' Technique, training by Jane Buckle, PhD<br />CEU video / Training with certification<br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7714596881979374540-2255071013510193956?l=hospicemassage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hospicemassagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481313692831660016noreply@blogger.com
