Massage in Schools Programme

A safe, structured and respectful environment for kids

Massage in Schools Programme Mayo

About the Programme

My Massage in Schools Programme is for children ages 4–12 Years of Age.
 
I deliver the Massage in Schools Programme by dividing into two age groups:
 • 4–7 years
 • 8–12 years
 
Each session lasts approximately 30–35 minutes per group.
 
This programme is delivered in a safe, structured and respectful environment. Children remain fully clothed and are seated throughout the session.
 
A key foundation of the programme is consent and choice. Every child has the right to say “yes” or “no” to massage.
If a child chooses not to participate, their decision is fully respected.
 
If they prefer not to take part in the massage exchange, they can:
 • Colour from the massage stroke colouring books (there are 15 strokes in the programme)
 • Play quietly with small toys I provide
 • Stand beside me and help demonstrate the movements

Sessions Also Include

Important Note:
During these sessions whether in school settings or in my cabin I never touch the children.
The children perform the massage movements on each other and only after asking verbal permission.
