ElderHeal™
Because touch remains important throughout life.
ElderHeal™ is a gentle hands-on approach designed to support the wellbeing of older adults at home, in residential aged care, and in palliative care settings.
Combining therapeutic touch, mindful presence and gentle movement, ElderHeal™ aims to bring comfort, ease, relaxation and human connection during life’s later years.
Comfort, connection and care through touch.
ElderHeal™ emerged from a simple observation:
Many older adults receive very little nurturing touch. Yet touch remains one of our most fundamental human needs.
Through years of working with elder clients, palliative care patients and families, Jenny recognised the profound effect that gentle, intentional touch could have on comfort, connection and wellbeing.
ElderHeal™ was created to honour that need.
A gentle way to bring comfort, connection and dignity to ageing lives.
The ElderHeal™ approach
ElderHeal™ is founded on a simple belief: touch remains important throughout every stage of life.
As mobility changes, communication evolves, or health challenges increase, compassionate therapeutic touch can provide comfort, reassurance, connection and support.
Sessions are gentle, person-centred and tailored to the individual’s needs, comfort and abilities.
Gentle and adaptable
Many people worry about touching an older loved one for fear of causing discomfort or harm.
ElderHeal™ is designed to be gentle, adaptable and respectful of each person’s comfort, health circumstances and level of mobility.
Sessions can be performed seated in a comfortable recliner or armchair, making them suitable for many older adults who may find a massage table uncomfortable or inaccessible.
ElderHeal™ can be offered wherever an older adult feels most comfortable — whether in my home clinic, residential aged care facility, or their own home.
