Meet Our Activities Specialists
Hi, my name is Erin, I am a qualified massage therapist and I am passionate about the healing qualities of touch. I have over 5yrs experience giving massage to elders in dementia friendly environments and have been coming every week to the Welcome Home for a few years.
I take a multi sensory approach, using music and relaxing images during the massage, creating warm, caring and safe feeling sessions with lots of opportunities for communication.
There are many benefits to message, some that I most often see at the Welcome home are Relief from aches and pains
Increased mobility and function in the body Relaxation during, after and often residents report sleeping better in the nights following a massage
Feelings of peace and contentment, warmth and connection, being tended to and cared for.
I love working at the home, I come every week so I get to know all the residents and the staff. Some residents are very keen and enjoy massage right away and others need time to build trust and familiarity, it’s great having time to build rewarding relationships and see the benefits of regular massage first hand.
Hi. I’m Aaron and I provide chair based exercise therapy for the residents. By using music and movement, I raise the energy in the room to create a vibrant atmosphere in order to encourage the residents to participate. The music I play is based on the preference and selection of the residents, and the movement is designed to develop their mobility, reactions, coordination and strength
