Carole McGrath
“We have been involved with the Positive Touch project for over 3 years and would highly recommend other schools taking part. Following the wonderful training led by Carole, our staff felt confident to lead massage sessions with their classes. The impact of the sessions has been very positive, with an audit showing that often children were able to concentrate and focus more on their learning after a massage session had taken place. We use massage in a variety of ways including massage stories to compliment our curriculum and self massage after a particularly boisterous break time!”
