Description
It is for those courageous men and women who continue caring for spouses or mothers or fathers with dementia related diseases such as Alzheimer’s after such a disease has robbed that loved one of the ability to remember the relationship he or she once shared with the caregiver. It is for anyone who wishes to use touch more consciously and compassionately in relating to the elderly, the ill, and the dying.
Dawn Nelson, M.F.A., C.M.T., founder of COMPASSIONATE TOUCH® for those in Later Life Stages, is an internationally known speaker, author and touch educator and a pioneer in the effort to utilize gentle touch massage in palliative care. Dawn’s own cancer diagnosis, after a decade of working with the seriously ill, was, she says, “ultimately a blessing in disguise” giving her a healthier lifestyle, new perspectives and a continued commitment to help enhance quality of life for those in later life stages.
