MERIDIAN FOR SCHOOLS
The Vision
The internationally recognised Massage in Schools Programme (www.massageinschools.com) has the vision that every child attending school, experiences positive nurturing touch every day…….everywhere in the world.
A culmination of years of knowledge and experience, the focus is on touch, combined with care and respect which is fundamental for healthy human relationships. The programme creates a way for children to grow and develop in an open, secure and safe environment.
“Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today. They are entitled to be taken seriously. They have a right to be treated with tenderness and respect, as equals. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they are meant to be – the unknown person inside each of them is the hope for the future” By Januz Korczak, author of A voice for the child
