About Me
Hi, I am Heather Schwartz
I studied Aromatherapy at Raworth College in Dorking and have subsequently obtained a massage qualification and certification.
After working with children for most of my life I decided it was time for a change!
I love listening to, chatting with and caring for people and have spent the last few years volunteering 'hand massage' at my local church within an elderly social setting. Hence 'Compassionate Hands' was born.
I look forward to sharing my skills, empathy, compassion and sensitivity in offering Hand Massage to the elderly.
