Experience -
Hi, my name is Nancy Moorshead. I am a professional massage therapist, licensed in New Jersey and New York.
I have 15+ experience providing at home service for people in many settings from private homes to intensive care units. I work with people who are active and those with mobility restrictions using a walker, wheelchair, or hospital bed.
Prior to making home visits, I worked at resort spas in Maryland - The Spa at Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, MD and The Spa at Perry Cabin in St Michaels, MD. That was full body massage, on a massage table, which I don't do any more. I've discovered that it's easier when people don't undress and they rest the way they are accustomed to.
I think that everyone I touch is a friend who needs a boost, sometimes quietly, sometimes with cheerful chatting.
I see the benefit of touch personally. Even people who are nonverbal express how they love the attention, by pulling my hand close, or closing their eyes. People who are discouraged say they feel wonderful now. People with brain fog and exhaustion suddenly answer questions and respond clearly. People who were in pain say that even if the pain is not gone, at least they can move better.
My favorite clients are patients and caregivers who are immersed in their own world. I love seeing them relax in peace and enjoy life, even if it's just for a moment. Snores and smiles are high compliments of trust to me!
I was a family caregiver for 12 years so I understand the experience of dealing with changing and unexpected situations.
