'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
indeed its the only thing that ever did'.
Margaret Mead

If you have a desire to volunteer with us, show care to others and help create a culture based on gentleness and generosity where all beings can thrive, then this training day is for you.

This full day’s training primarily focuses on the three core pillars of  ‘A Touch of Gentleness’.

1) The energy of Gentleness.

2) The emotional and physical benefits of touch along with a beautiful hand massage.

3) Deep listening skills with gentle presence.

The day also includes phsycho-edcuation on stress, resilience, ways to self calm and safeguarding. 

It has been designed to be experiential, theoretical, and practical. It is grounded in best practice.

Our intention is that there is something for everyone and that it will be an enjoyable, uplifting and educational experience for all who attend.

On completion of the day you will be fully trained, insured and supported so that you are able to offer our service out in your community. You will also have access to full membership benefits.
No previous experience is necessary. 

The day’s training is offered freely, though we warmly welcome any donation that you are able to make. Donations help ensure that we can continue to run trainings, support and equip all our volunteers.

 '"The people who receive the massage are so appreciative, but what really bowls me over is how it makes me feel to give it. Wondrously wondrous 😁😁🌈🌈..." Julie Edmonds

"When I receive smiles after doing the hand massages, I take those smiles home with me, they mean the world to me and the positivity and power of them remains with me for days after the volunteering....."  Alison Jones

“I came to give… but what I received was even greater.” — Helen Davis

Here are some kind words from our volunteers about the training day:

'I enjoyed being part of the training day, being onboard something special and magical and being amongst like minded people.   I've always believed in the concept of 'pay it forward'  when a kindness is done,  and this will have a ripple effect.  Much needed in our world today.  I don't think I can put a score on the course as it is priceless'.  SC

'I loved the training day for A Touch of Gentleness.  Full of practical advice together with sound theory, the day sped by.  It was made up of so many different elements, there really was something for everyone.   I would heartily recommend this course to anyone who wants to be part of a movement that changes our world, one gentle touch at a time'.  BJ

A beautiful teaching day filled with Magic. Wonderful spiritual quotes, anatomical learning, sweet sharing, fabulous company and detailed hand massage training practice thoughtfully and clearly taught by delightful, warm, kind, knowledgeable Touch of Gentleness Helen
