About
Purpose
We offer compassionate presence, therapeutic touch, social inclusion, advocacy, and community connection to the elderly and the dying in residential care, hospice, and in the communities of the Lower Mainland of BC, support caregivers, raise awareness with research and education, and expand our impact by collaborating with organizations that serve vulnerable populations.
Events
We offer chair massage events for organizations who serve vulnerable populations. We work with municipalities, non-profits, and charities as a way to impact those they serve with human connection and safe touch. Previous events include International Overdose Awareness Day, Point-in-time Count day of service for those facing housing challenges, and fundraising galas.
Training
We are available for in-service training or pre-service training and development workshops, speaking engagements, hands-on classes, consulting, and group facilitation. Offering personal coaching, small or large organization training for you, your staff, and your stakeholders.
Caregiver Support
We are committed to supporting a membership of exceptional caregivers and volunteers, in order to increase the quality of life for those we serve.
Connection
Nurturing touch and compassionate presence have profound effects on human nervous systems, inducing a sense of well-being.
One Caring Human explores ways for all of us to be seen, and to understand what it means to reconnect with ourselves, our communities, one another, and live into our open-hearted potential.
