Crystal Hawk, AB, MEd, Recognized Teacher
Therapeutic Touch promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, enhances healing, effects the immune system, and can reduce stress levels and the debility of pain, often altering the course of disease. Therapeutic Touch is a natural potential that can be actualized if the practitioner has a feeling of compassion and the intent to help or heal. It has a 39+ year history of practice and research in clinical settings. Developed by Dolores Krieger, RN, PhD, then Professor of Nursing at New York University, and Dora Kunz, a natural clairvoyant, Therapeutic Touch is practiced by thousands of health care professionals and lay people around the world.
In Therapeutic Touch, the practitioner moves his/her hands in the client's energy field, usually a few inches from the body, although touching can be involved. The client remains fully clothed, in a sitting or lying position.
This 8hr seminar will teach basic method and applications of Therapeutic Touch, including practice with supervision and feedback.
The Level I Therapeutic Touch Certificate is a Certificate of Attendance only. By continuing the study of Therapeutic Touch, according to the path laid out by the Therapeutic Touch Network of Ontario, one can eventually become a Recognized Practitioner.
Therapeutic Touch is used by health professionals, holistic practitioners, therapists, counsellors, clergy, educators and private individuals in hospitals, hospices and palliative care units. Now, with a base of continuing research, Therapeutic Touch is taught and practiced throughout the world, including numerous universities and colleges in Canada and the United States. It is accepted in the policies and procedures of an increasing number of health care institutions world wide, and as an intervention in a number of Ontario hospitals.
