Másaní's Massage Navajo Nation Tour

Másaní's Massage is a program of the Native Health Initiative offering free chair massages to elders in senior centers on reservations. This summer, Másaní's Massage will be taking its volunteers on the road to provide healing massage to more remote areas of the Navajo Nation. 

Many elders experience social isolation due to geographical remoteness or lack of community resources. These factors contribute to disparities in health outcomes and quality of life among Native American elders. Senior Centers on pueblos and reservations provide a central gathering point and access to social connectedness for many people.

We are seeking funding to support:

• Materials (Clorox wipes, face cradles, paper towels, portable desktop seated chair)
• Travel (rental car/gas - our volunteers expect to drive up to 500 miles on this tour!)
• Lodging (our volunteers stay a few nights in hotels to cut back on long drives to and from locations each day)
