For many, healing starts with a single human connection.

At The Touch Institute, we believe healing happens through human connection, especially for those who have been forgotten, isolated, or underserved.

Across senior communities and medically complex populations, touch is often the first thing taken away. Isolation, chronic illness, trauma, and limited access to care leave people disconnected from their bodies and from one another.

We are here to change that.

Your donation helps bring medical-based therapeutic massage to individuals who need it most, seniors living in isolation, caregivers under immense strain, and people managing advanced medical conditions with limited support.

This is not luxury care.
This is restorative, evidence-informed, therapeutic touch delivered with dignity.

What Your Donation Supports This Year

Your generosity directly fuels our flagship programs, designed to meet people where they are and restore connection through care.

Touch Is Medicine

Our primary initiative focused on isolated seniors and medically complex populations.
This program provides consistent, therapeutic massage designed to support mobility, comfort, nervous system regulation, and quality of life, while also preparing the groundwork for future research and education in medical-based massage.

Access to Care for Underserved Populations

We serve individuals who would otherwise go without care due to financial, physical, or systemic barriers. Your gift helps ensure therapeutic touch is not a privilege, but a resource available to those who need it most.

Education & Workforce Development

We invest in training therapists to work confidently and compassionately with advanced medical conditions, helping expand access to skilled care within underserved communities.

How Your Gift Makes an Impact

Every donation is a tangible act of care.

$75 provides one therapeutic massage for someone experiencing isolation or financial hardship
$150 supports a series of sessions that restore comfort, mobility, and connection
$300 helps underwrite care for individuals with complex medical needs
$500+ expands access, education, and program sustainability for our flagship initiatives

No matter the amount, your gift becomes human connection made real.

Why It Matters

Touch is one of the most powerful tools we have, and one of the most overlooked.

For many of the people we serve, therapeutic touch is:

The only safe, compassionate physical contact they receive
A pathway back to their bodies after trauma or illness
A reminder that they are seen, valued, and not alone

Your support helps transform isolation into connection and vulnerability into strength.
