Story Massage Programme reviews

The Story Massage Programme is a really accessible way to help children and young people with SEND engage with stories in a meaningful way. It is also wonderful for aiding communication both at school and home.

Thank you for the Story Massage online course. I truly enjoyed it and feel enriched from the process. I trained alongside my colleagues, and we find it an effective tool to establish rapport and encourage creative thinking.

Shalani Suppermaniam, Special Education Teacher, Cerebral Palsy Alliance, Singapore

The Story Massage Programme is fun and limitless in its facility to cater for the ever-growing demands made on Mental Wellbeing. Once you have mastered the 10 strokes, the world of the Story Massage Programme opens up and you are only limited by your own imagination.
