Touch Is Medicine
Touch Is Medicine is an evolving initiative of
The Touch Institute focused on how trauma-informed, medical-based therapeutic touch can support comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals living with complex medical conditions.
This work begins with thoughtfully designed pilot programs and is intentionally built to grow into future research, education, and deeper community collaboration.
Care rooted in dignity, comfort, and research.
This initiative marks the first phase of our long-term commitment to education, ethical exploration, and research readiness around therapeutic touch.
Touch In Motion
Touch in Motion is our community-facing outreach initiative focused on education, connection, and presence. Through wellness events, caregiver gatherings, and collaborative programs, we bring therapeutic care into shared spaces where seniors, caregivers, and families can learn, feel supported, and reconnect.
This work strengthens community networks and creates accessible entry points to care rooted in compassion and relationship.
Care that keeps you moving
Touch in Motion creates accessible entry points for healing, education, and connection—meeting people where they are.
Community Care Access Fund
The Community Care Access Fund ensures that financial barriers do not prevent individuals from receiving therapeutic care. Through donor support, this fund provides medical-based therapeutic massage for seniors and others who would otherwise go without care due to cost, isolation, or limited resources. By offering grant-supported and sliding-scale services, the fund helps restore comfort, dignity, and human connection for those most in need.
Where care, purpose, and compassion connect.
This initiative marks the first phase of our long-term commitment to education, ethical exploration, and research readiness around therapeutic touch.
