Specialist Touch Massage

Service Description

Compassionate Massage – for Every Stage of Life. With Specialist Touch Massage, I offer gentle, adaptive massage tailored to the unique needs of people living with Cancer, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and the Elderly. Each session is grounded in empathy, sensitivity, and clinical awareness—supporting comfort, connection, and dignity through every stage of life. Whether you're navigating illness, managing long-term conditions, or simply seeking a moment of ease, this is a space where your body is met exactly as it is. I can visit you in your Home, Hospital, Hospice or Care Home in Edinburgh. What to Expect: Whether it's your first session or part of ongoing care, you’ll be met with warmth, professionalism, and deep respect—for your body, your story, and your space. Specialist Touch Therapy is a mobile service, bringing adaptive, specialist massage directly to the comfort of your home. Before Your Session: We’ll begin with a gentle check-in and consultation either by phone or email, to understand your current needs, medical background, and preferences. This helps me prepare the session and ensure the space is supportive and safe for you. If you're receiving treatment for cancer, living with a neurological condition, or navigating age-related changes, your care will be guided by clinical understanding and compassionate presence. Setting Up The Space: I’ll bring all the essentials—massage bed or alternative setup options, clean linens, cushions, and any equipment needed. Sessions can take place on a massage bed, in your recliner, seated in a chair, wheelchair or even in bed, depending on what’s most comfortable for you. You don’t need to prepare anything apart from a quiet, warm space where you feel relaxed. During Your Session: You’ll remain clothed or partially covered, depending on your comfort and the focus of the session. The massage is gentle, non-invasive, and always responsive to your feedback. I work with your breath, your pace, and your body’s cues—never rushing, never pushing. After Your Session: There’s space for you to rest and integrate the experience. Some clients feel deeply relaxed; others may feel lighter, more present, or even emotional. However, you respond, it’s all welcome. I’ll check in with you gently, and if helpful, we can discuss ongoing support or future sessions. This is your time. My intention is to bring skilled, compassionate touch into your home—offering comfort, connection, and care where it’s needed most.
