Workshop Description
The Foundations of Therapeutic Touch workshop, which is part of the updated curriculum, is the first in a series of two workshops designed to teach students Therapeutic Touch as developed by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, and Dora Kunz.
After completion of Foundations, you will be able to apply your knowledge of Therapeutic Touch to provide complete sessions to your family, friends, and pets - as well as use Therapeutic Touch for self-care.
Over the course of this workshop students will learn about:
-The C.A.R.E.R model for providing Therapeutic Touch sessions, including how to assess and rebalance a human energy field to facilitate and support the healing process
-Underlying Therapeutic Touch concepts and theories
-Benefits and uses of Therapeutic Touch in a variety of settings
-Academic research on Therapeutic Touch
-Ethical considerations in the practice of Therapeutic Touch
Coming Soon:
I am currently in the process of putting together a second workshop entitled 'The Transpersonal Nature of Therapeutic Touch'. This workshop, the second in the series, builds upon the knowledge, skills, and insights gained on the Foundations workshop. I'm aiming to offer this Transpersonal Nature of Therapeutic Touch workshop in the first half of 2026. Stay tuned for further details !
