History
Touch Institute Los Angeles Inc. was founded on the belief that all populations, whether infant or senior citizen, athlete or weekend warrior, special needs child or adult, benefit from the positive effect of compassionate touch on overall health and well being. Within Touch Institute is the Center For Pediatric Massage Therapy. To the best of our knowledge we were the first center in Los Angeles to provide evidence-based massage therapy to children in an out-patient setting by Certified Pediatric Massage Therapists (CPMT). Tina Allen, founder of the world renowned Liddle Kidz Foundation, has trained and certified our therapists to work with well-children and special needs children and to teach infant massage therapy to caregivers and health care providers. In September 2011, we partnered with Eminence Organic Skin Care to address the skin care needs of the entire family. In August 2014 we moved from our clinical location on Main Street to our new boutique location on Richmond Street.
