In this episode, we confront the stigma surrounding therapeutic touch and massage therapy, exploring how cultural misconceptions have disconnected us from one of humanity’s oldest healing traditions. Inspired by Michaela Cox’s advocacy, we discuss the power of reclaiming touch as a legitimate avenue for physical and emotional wellness, especially for Black women seeking holistic care. Discover the history, science, and transformative potential of healing touch, and learn how breaking these taboos can restore dignity, connection, and community health.
