Thea Blair — Touch — The Impact on Learning
Thea Blair is a Waldorf teacher and a Pediatric Massage Therapist. She operated a successful, Waldorf-inspired pre-school out of her home for fourteen years. Observing the amazing results of touch, either playful or comforting, in resolving children’s emotional stress led her to seek massage training. She now works as a parent and teacher coach, and a touch educator. Thea brings Peer Massage to schools as a consultant. She is available for talks and workshops about touch, parenting, and childhood development. She is the mother of a 17 year old son and 10 year old daughter. She lives in a small, intentional community with a farm in Nevada City, CA.
