Your workshop gave me much more than new and useful information. It gave me a new model for relating, not just to the sick and the frail, but to everyone I care about.

Exceeded my expectations on all levels. This was one of the best Seminars I’ve ever taken!
Massage Therapist, Glendale, Florida
I took away from the workshop the knowledge and incentive to begin a program in the senior residential communities I am connected with. Dawn is the premier expert in this subject for massage practitioners. It was an honor to be able to study with and learn from her.

Thank you for being such a valuable source of insight for so many of us. I consider you among those who have had a significant positive impact both on my life and on my newly assigned role at Carewest.

This training inspired me to change the way I interact with my residents. Some of them are much more cooperative now, and I feel less stressed at work.
Certified Nursing Assistant, Medford, Oregon workshop
I feel your workshop is the missing piece in our massage education! The role-playing was challenging yet critically important as a prelude to our sessions in the nursing home — a highlight of the workshop.

I really “got” the difference between what you are teaching and geriatric or hospice massage. This training was a peak experience for me. I know it will change the course of my work and all of my relationships.
Anonymous evaluation, Eugene, Oregon
I came because we were required to take it but I myself loved the workshop and would give it an A+. . . The instructor gave clear and thorough explanations, excellent demonstrations and she answered all of our questions. . . The techniques we learned and practiced will help our residents. I would recommend this kind of training for all health care professionals!
