Fr. Kyungsu Son and his team plan to teach adult women prisoners at the prison to become therapists who will provide wellness through the techniques of Massotherapy “free of charge” to the population of inmates of the Establishment Penitenciaria. Using relaxing massages to relieve stress, they will help to recover the emotional stability of the people assisted. The prisoners will be trained in Massage Therapy techniques and Reflexology and Shiatsu (Japanese Massage) by the licensed blind professors from La Casa Bartimeo in theoretical and practical concepts of body therapies, anatomical bone structure and muscle, and related techniques. With your gift, the female prisoners are released from prison and return to society, can immediately use the skills they learned in prison to work as professional masseuses.
