Peer Massage Project

A Unique Approach to Positive Learning and Wellbeing in Schools

The Peer Massage Project is a pioneering initiative that harnesses the power of therapeutic touch to elevate the learning and well-being of young minds. We empower primary school children to become confident and capable communicators through the art of gentle, positive touch.

Our Mission

Our mission is to nurture every child's potential and cultivate a positive learning environment where children can thrive. We believe that by teaching children about safe and meaningful touch, we empower them to communicate with sensitivity, express themselves confidently, and build deeper connections.

How it works

The Peer Massage Project seamlessly integrates into the school curriculum through engaging workshops designed to suit the specific needs of each school. Our experienced facilitators guide children through simple and gentle massage sequences, teaching them how to express care, empathy, and connection through touch.

Benefits for Children

The positive effects of The Peer Massage Project extend far beyond physical relaxation. Children who participate in our workshops experience:

• Enhanced self-esteem and confidence
• Improved ability to communicate and express emotions

• Improved social and emotional development

Our Approach

Our workshops are based on a foundation of therapeutic knowledge, ensuring safety, consent, and fostering a sense of trust and respect. We utilize developmentally appropriate techniques and playful storytelling to create a fun and engaging learning environment.
