Oncology Massage

Relief of pain and discomfort due to the disease itself or as a result of pre/post operative procedures is accomplished. Theresa Cecylija provides a nurturing, calming, soothing and sage environment regardless of the location of the treatment – her office, your home, hospital or rehab facility. With targeted training and experience, she knows how & when to adjust pressure, speed, duration, direction of strokes and scar tissue work to provide a safe and beneficial session to anyone living with any type of cancer at any stage of disease. Some sessions may include but not be limited to techniques that help reduce lymphoedema (swelling caused by a build-up of lymph fluid).

Trade Show, Meetings and Special Events

A brief session with one of Hands with Hearts Therapists and your event attendees will be more relaxed and more open to hearing your message along with being empowered for a more positive response.

Studies by the Touch Research Institute in Florida show that the benefits of seated massage are seen immediately. At the conclusion of their five-week study period the immediate positive effects were documented along with the subjects reporting reduced job stress and elevated moods. This was in addition to the usual benefits of revitalized energy, relief of muscular tension and a stronger immune system. It also increases circulation and stimulates the muscles, thereby releasing tension in the back and relaxing the neck and shoulders.

Please keep in mind that providing seated massage, as administered by Theresa Cecylija, at your events and meetings also provides your staff with a good opportunity to talk to the attendees while they are waiting for their seated massage.

Infant Massage

Quite different from massage for adults. Infant massage is much more communicative then manipulative. You will learn to distinguish your baby’s "cries" as well as how to massage your newborn to enhance their healthy growth along with forming a bond that will last forever. It is a technique that allows parents/siblings/caregivers to engage and relax their child in mutually pleasurable interaction. Often time the dynamics of infant massage facilitate parenting.

It is especially important to those that may not feel a connection with their infant or may be too young (not necessary in age) to fully comprehend what is needed for the baby to fully thrive. I'm certain that you will agree that touch is a very powerful way to communicate especially with babies. And it is a great way to prevent behavior that can possibly lead to child abuse.

Through "Baby's First Massage" I will show a new mother, father, sibling, loved one, care-giver how to give a safe, gentle massage to the baby.  They will discover gentle, effective, safe massage techniques that will comfort, nurture and enhance the special bond one has with their baby.  You will also learn when NOT to massage, baby's time-out signals along with early infant communication and fifteen gentle strokes to us. 

Theresa Cecylija is available to administer to your infant as well as to present/instruct in an infant massage class prior to or after birth or provide private instructions at one's home after the birth of the baby.

Contact Theresa with any questions and/or to schedule a presentation and/or demonstration for your group or organization.

Please note that infant massage supports well being and is appropriate for the medically stable newborn.  It is not a substitute for medical treatment.
