About the Author
Linda Napier is a registered nurse, writer, poet and photographer who maintains a private Touch practice in Connecticut. Through personal and professional experience, she became convinced that health and well-being depend on nurturing human touch. She not only incorporates this into her practice as nurse, but also volunteers as "Daisy", a hospital clown, so that her patients may also be touched by humor. Linda presents lectures and workshops nationally on the topic of Touch for health and well-being and offers classes so that those who participate may learn to connect more deeply to themselves and others.
