Deep Roots Offshoots is a small nonprofit with a mission to bring massage therapy to where it's most helpful in our community.
Massage therapy has a unique potential to improve a person’s quality of life during stressful times. As therapists and avid clients, we know that a massage can be an extraordinarily meaningful experience, reducing pain and anxiety, creating a sense of peace and improving sleep.
Deep Roots Offshoots has partnered with two local hospice organizations to launch two pilot projects, one provides in-home massage for people enrolled in palliative care and one to offer massage at our practice for the primary caregivers of a hospice patient
We’ve teamed up with two amazing organizations for our first pilot projects:
The interdisciplinary team atVermont Brattleboro Hospice & BAYADA Home Health Care refers the primary caregivers of hospice patients and bereaving primary caregivers for massage at the Deep Roots office.
Our goal is to quickly grow in area and capacity. Most importantly, we’re working to create the systems of support necessary to enable a robust, sustainable and scalable offering.
