I volunteered with one of our other therapists, Jamie, at a homeless event in March. I was so glad I went. When trying to explain how people end up homeless to my daughters aged 8 and 5, they just cannot understand it. And I can see why. These are some of the most vulnerable and sensitive people in our community, and somehow they slipped through the cracks. I used to do chair massage at corporate events for highly stressed executives and they always needed lots of pressure, percussion and chopping. This group of people just wanted to be touched, and to be seen, and it brought home to me the power of the human touch and the importance of connection. We really do need both to thrive. We have now agreed to do other events so watch this space for more information.
