First Press Release

The idea of introducing touch into the education system as a valid modality alongside academic topics is a beautiful idea that has been spreading around the globe since the mid nineties, but still needs more media attention.

This is our first press release, published yesterday,  about Children Massaging Children (CMC)  in order to further this idea.

Any comments are welcomed.

CMC in Nelson

Yvonne Harvey from Nelson graduated from the “CMC for Professionals course” in  January 2013  

She introduced the Children Massaging Children programme into Room 3, Hira School, Nelson this term, where the teacher encourages and understands the benefits of holistic development for children.

These children were aged 6-8years and some of the advantages they learned were relaxation, empathy and compassion towards each other. They look forward to this successful programme each week.

A great time was had by all.

The children are now implementing their massage skills on their parents and siblings.
