Small Raven Media is proud to announce a milestone that feels both historic and deeply personal for our team. Today, we celebrate the official publication of our very first title, The Gentle Path: A Clinical Guide to Geriatric Massage. Launching our publishing division has been a long-held vision, and beginning that journey with a book that carries so much heart, clarity, and purpose sets the tone for everything we hope to build.
The Gentle Path: A Clinical Guide to Geriatric Massage is written by Ed Bolden Greer, an educator and clinician whose work has shaped the way countless practitioners understand aging, touch, and compassionate care. His decades of teaching and hands-on experience come through in every chapter. Ed writes with a warm, grounded voice, offering guidance that is as practical as it is deeply human. He has spent his career helping therapists learn how to meet older adults with respect, patience, and presence, and this book reflects the same generosity that has made him a trusted mentor in the field.
For Small Raven Media, publishing this book is more than releasing a debut title. It’s a statement about the kind of work we want to champion. We believe in authors who carry lived experience into their writing. We believe in books that elevate professional standards while honoring the people at the center of the work. And we believe in creating space for voices that blend clinical knowledge with compassion. Ed’s writing embodies all of that, making this publication the perfect beginning for our catalog.
This launch also marks the start of a broader vision for Small Raven Media. We intend to grow a body of work that supports practitioners, uplifts creative thinkers, and brings meaningful, well-crafted resources into the world. Starting with The Gentle Path: A Clinical Guide to Geriatric Massage sets a foundation we’re proud to stand on.
We invite you to celebrate this moment with us, explore the book, and support the work behind it. To learn more or purchase your copy, visit the official website: www.gentlepathbook.com.
