Mission Statement
Healing Hands, Healing Hearts seeks to support traditional medical care by providing massage, comfort, and connection for the body, mind, and spirit of the critically, chronically, and terminally ill.
About This Cause
In October of 2010, the husband and wife team of David and Damiana-Hortas Dowdy, in Bakersfield, California, took over operation of the 501(c)3 non-profit 'Healing Hands ~ Healing Hearts,' which was originally established in Sacramento, California by Jo Williams in 2001. David and Damiana knew that Jo Williams' inspiring passion to care for her aunt who was suffering from cancer brought her to recognize the incredible benefits of providing massage to people who were in hospice care. David and Damiana seek to continue Jo William's mission, adding to it their own desire that fuels a mission to expand Healing Hands ~ Healing Hearts into a nationwide, if not a worldwide organization. The Healing Hands ~ Healing Hearts team of therapists works with a clientele facing chronic, critical, and terminal conditions. The core goal is to help bring relief from the pain, isolation, anxiety, and despair suffered by a very special population of people among us, bringing a more human connection into their lives by offering many levels of healing to the body, mind, and spirit, in order to restore a client's hope, joy, and dignity. Healing Hands ~ Healing Hearts has been focused on teaching certification classes in "Touch Therapy for the Critically, Chronically, & Terminally Ill." Not only are these classes for massage therapists, certified nurses aides, and energy workers, but they are also available to anyone who has the desire to learn a wonderfully proven way to connect with someone using their God-given gift of touch. Healing Hands ~ Healing Hearts utilizes certified therapists as subcontractors to visit our clients in their homes or any medical, convalescent, or care giving facility. We currently cover the Sacramento and Kern County areas of California along with classes taught in Pittsburgh, PA every other year. Our goal is to open branches of our non-profit all across the United States and eventually around the world. Touch: The Universal Form of Communication
