Anyone can learn 'M' Technique!

'M' Technique was created by a nurse as a way to communicate with and care for fragile and critically ill people for whom other forms of massage would be contra-indicated. It is a gentle, structured form of touch that can help ease symptoms such as chronic pain, breathlessness and anxiety. The 'M' technique also offers a quiet, non-verbal way of conveying care, comfort and reassurance.

This course is particularly relevant:

  • if you care for a vulnerable friend or family member

  • work in Palliative Care as a nurse, Health Care Assistant, Nursing Associate, Doctor, volunteer or other health care professional

  • are a massage therapist looking for a gentle technique to add to your existing practise

  • work with people who have Dementia

  • work with people with learning difficulties

  • work with pregnant women

  • are a Death Doula or accompany people who are dying

This course could be for you!
