Comfort Touch at the End of Life
8 CE hours
Live online, two half-day sessions
Massage therapists, nurses, aides and volunteers
A hands-on class in the simplest and most useful touch there is: slow, still, warm contact for someone in the last weeks and days. What to do with your hands when there is nothing left to fix.
What we cover
- Stillness as technique: holding, resting contact, paced breathing
- Hands, feet, face and scalp when the torso is off limits
- Touch for restlessness, air hunger and terminal agitation
- Reading a nonverbal person's response moment to moment
- Being present at the bedside in the final days
