#128 Compassionate Touch: Massage Therapy For The End Of Life

In this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast, I chat with Olivia Sadler, RMT—an educator, mobile massage therapist, and end-of-life care advocate.

Olivia shares her powerful journey into palliative and hospice massage, how personal loss shaped her purpose, and what it truly means to show up for someone in their most vulnerable moments.

This episode touches on boundaries, grief, ethics, emotional regulation, and redefining self-care—not just for clients, but for massage therapists too.

Whether you're curious about compassionate touch, hospice work, or building a more sustainable practice, this conversation will leave you moved, inspired, and radically reconnected to your purpose.
