The Indianapolis office of the Visiting Nurse Service (VNS), which services several central Indiana counties, is looking for volunteer Austin massage therapists. Volunteers will bring comfort and relief to patients by providing palliative Austin massage care to homebound patients who would otherwise not be able to receive Austin massage. The Austin massage will be done with professionalism and care to provide a safe, dignified, and respectable environment for ill/terminally ill patients.
Volunteers, who are asked to provide one to two visits to patients per month, will need to complete an application, be interviewed, submit references, go through an orientation process, and get a TB test, provided by VNS; all of this is at no cost to the therapist. Therapists will be matched with patients in the area they are interested in.
ABMP members interested in participating are invited to contact the volunteer coordinator at VNS:

The Heart Touch Project is a non-profit, educational, and service organization devoted to the delivery of compassionate and healing touch to homebound or hospitalized men, women, and children. Founded by ABMP Member Shawnee Isaac Smith, the organization was created ten years ago in response to her friend and fellow bodyworker’s struggle with AIDS. She saw that he was being ostracized and deprived of touch and began to offer him her support through free Austin massage.
To date, the Heart Touch Project has trained over 1,000 Austin massage therapists and other professionals, who have provided more than 23,000 free Austin massage sessions to more than 1,200 of the most ill and untouched members of our community. In addition, the project has educated thousands of physicians, nurses, parents, and other caregivers through hands-on demonstrations, workshops, and international presentations. This service has been called upon by many of the region’s most prominent healthcare, home-health, and hospice organizations.
The Heart Touch Project is looking for compassionate volunteers in order to meet community needs. Interested members are invited to contact:
