Hand to Heart Project home

“Undergoing treatment for cancer was one of the most exhausting and difficult experiences of my life. What helped me to make it through the lowest points was looking forward to my massage appointments. The healing of my soul and my whole body were the focus of our time together. I left each session feeling stronger, more balanced and optimistic about my prognosis.”

“The Hand to Heart Project was a form of salvation for me – a confirmation of my being and a valued (way) of relaxing the tension of cancer treatment. The mounting stresses related to that condition were also gratefully relieved – a process not available to me otherwise. Thank you, thank you.”

“The Hand to Heart Project is a special gift to cancer patients being cared for in the home. When my mother was in Hospice, the gift of soothing touch brought peace, relaxation and relief. I could feel her tension ease and spirit lift as the massage therapist provided her therapeutic touch. Massage supports the journey and the process of dying at home in comfort and peace.”

As a spouse of a cancer patient, I always knew when Mike had had a visit from Hand to Heart. He felt energized and optimistic. I also had the opportunity as a spouse/caregiver to be on the receiving end of this wonderful service. It was amazing and I understood why Michael felt so revived. The stress, the worry and pain were gone for the wonderful hour.
