Healing Hands, Healing Hearts

David has been a therapist in the massage and bodywork industry since January of 2007.  Through all his training, the area that resonated with him the deepest was the Touch Therapy for the Terminally Ill.  After integrating a gentle form of circulation massage into the program and expanding the care to include the critically and chronically ill, he put it all to use, teaming up with Hoffmann Hospice (a nonprofit hospice organization in Bakersfield and Kern County in California) as a volunteer therapist.  Once the hospice leaders recognized the fantastic results David was having with every client he visited, they began having David train all their Certified Nursing Aides in the Touch Therapy modality.  David has worked with hundreds of critically, chronically, & terminally ill clients through multiple hospices and convelescent organizations requesting services, and in 2010 was blessed with the opportunity to take on the directorship of the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization Healing Hands, Healing Hearts.
