HEARTS Training Weekend

- Gentle Touch Therapy for Carers & Professionals

When words aren’t enough, touch can bring comfort. HEARTS is a soothing, hands-on therapy designed for moments when traditional massage isn't an option.

Rooted in empathy and relaxation, this approach empowers carers, healthcare professionals, and therapists to provide instant comfort to those who need it most.

Join us for a special training weekend and learn how to use HEARTS to bring calm and reassurance—anytime, anywhere.

What is HEARTS?

HEARTS stands for Hands-on, Empathy, Aromas, Relaxation, Textures, and Sound.

Developed by Ann Carter, it is an approach designed for carers, healthcare professionals, and therapists to provide comfort "in the moment."

During the training, participants will learn how to combine these therapeutic elements to help patients achieve a state of relaxation and calm.

The techniques are simple, effective, and adaptable, making them suitable for use anywhere, at any time.

Who is HEARTS for?

No prior training is required, making HEARTS an ideal intervention for those caring for individuals—both adults and children—who have complex symptoms and are physically or psychologically fragile.

With over 30 years of combined experience as complementary therapists in a hospice setting, we have seen firsthand the profound impact of HEARTS in providing comfort and relaxation. Lylah also brings her expertise as a former paediatric nurse, further enriching our approach to compassionate care.

We use HEARTS daily with our patients, right up to the end of life, and have found it highly effective in soothing anxieties and promoting relaxation.

Would this be beneficial for your team?
