Massaging the Seriously Ill

David Mercer

I recently received some continuing education in oncology massage.

It reminded me that I’ve spent countless hours as a pastor visiting people in hospitals. I was also a chaplain for hospice and I sat with many people in their last days. Over the years, I observed that many people with health issues appreciated a smile and a gentle touch.

Nowadays, I use my massage skills for people who have serious health issues. Gentle touch to aid circulation can be reviving physically and emotionally. Additionally, a smile, an easy silence, or a listening ear can be profound.

Those things are important for everyone, of course, and I’m happy to offer it in my massage work.

Try CBD Massage for Sore Muscles and Relaxation

David Mercer

I offer the option of adding CBD cream to your massage for an extra level of relaxation. The cream I use contains hempseed oil and arnica, which may help ease sore muscles, bruising, and even support the healing of scar tissue and stretch marks.

Like most natural therapies, more research is needed, but CBD is generally considered safe*, and many people report that it helps them relax. I’ll be honest—I was skeptical at first. But after trying it myself for a muscle strain, I noticed a real difference.

If you have tension or strain in a specific area, we can give it a try, and you can also have a full body massage with CBD cream.

*Not recommended for use during pregnancy.

Mercer Massage LLC is LGBTQ Friendly

At Mercer Massage, I strive to be receptive and welcoming to everyone. However, I want to speak directly to the LGBTQ community because many have been told, or made to feel, they are not truly welcome. I want to make it clear that you are valued, respected, and honored here, every single time you receive a massage from me.

I have two transgender daughters, and I deeply appreciate everyone who has welcomed and respected them as the amazing human beings they are. I hope to extend that same respect and care to every other child of humanity who walks through my door.

All are welcome here. All are valued and respected.
