Transforming Family Life through the Healing Power of Touch

by Suzette Hodnett and Chuck Fata

Bringing the healing power of massage into the home is a brand new DVD and companion book titled Home Massage: Transforming Family Life through the Healing Power of Touch with the simple goal of transforming family life by teaching easy, loving techniques to bring families together.

This well-crafted DVD and its companion book focus on the therapeutic properties of touch along with its capacity to enhance health and intimacy in all relationships. The authors demystify the medium of massage, take away taboos and make it accessible for everyone in the family. As author Suzette Hodnette explains:

“to achieve a happy family life experts agree that we need to communicate with each other much more, not only via our speech but also with the healing vocabulary of loving touch. Touch is our first language. Whatever our age or stage in life the gift of touch can make us feel protected, appreciated, validated, letting us know that we are loved, understood, forgiven.”

Non-sexual touch with clear boundaries as practiced in Home Massage brings this healing gift into our homes. Fata and Hodnett designed the DVD and book for the non-professional and at their core teach three principles that make learning massage easy and fun; create a safe place of honor and respect, encourage the art of massage and taking the mystique out of massage techniques. Also included are ideas for bringing home massage into daily life and how to use these principles to share massage with infants, children, adolescents, spouses, and the elderly. By emphasizing the innate healing power of touch to reduce stress and improve the immune system, this practical manual provides the tools for achieving health, relaxation, and connection with loved ones.
