Hand-Forearm massage is so nice for elderly people with dementia, in Hospice, drop-in centers and in many other places.
In this workshop, knowledge, practice and fun come together. What are you dealing with when you massage? What is possible and what is not possible. Knowledge regarding some anatomy and energetic meaning of hands and fingers. But also discover what it means for you to massage and to be massaged. Exchange and, above all, good practice.
Hand-forearm massage is probably the most accessible form of massage:
You don't have to take off your clothes
You can just give it on a chair
People are quick to lend a hand
This massage has a great effect on circulation and creates space in the arms and hands. It also has a very big effect on the feeling. Our hands and arms are connected to the heart and the emotional world. The experience is enormous!
What can I do with this massage?
After attending the workshop, you can become part of the massage team of the Massage for Care foundation, which provides massages in various healthcare institutions or is committed to other great projects. There is now a team of almost 50 people and it continues to grow. It is a great opportunity for workshop participants to put what they have learned into practice.
Of course there are many more places where this massage is very welcome. Perhaps you are already active in a drop-in center or a hospice or you work with people with intellectual disabilities.
It is always special to see how this form of massage can connect hearts.
What you get in return is gratitude and visible enjoyment. Doesn't that give a lot of satisfaction and meaning?

The costs for the workshop are €55. Includes reference book, a bottle of massage oil and a certificate of participation.
In this workshop we practice on each other, so that we can also support each other with feedback.
The workshop lasts approximately 3 hours and takes place in the massage practice of Both Hands.
