“By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.” ― Vernon Howard
The Blessings Basket Program is a pay it forward program that seeks to provide massage, bodywork, and wellness services to those in need and financially unable to receive the work.
The Blessings Basket Program is inspired by the joy and kindness of four-year old Madeline Marzen who spread joy, love, and cheer to all that knew her. Madeline was a pediatric brain cancer patient who earned her angel wings far to early in life. During her illness Madeline received massage in the hospital which brought relief to her many symptoms and comfort to her family. Madeline selflessly wished for others to receive this gift. Though Madeline is no longer with us physically, she continues to sprinkle happiness to those in need. Her presence and legacy continues here at Nurture Massage through this program and through grief and loss support services at Madeline's Mission a local non-profit created in her honor.
