TT Facts

Can anyone learn to do Therapeutic Touch?

The answer to that question is yes, given the desire and motivation. The ability to do TT is a natural human potential. However, there are several important criteria. One must have compassion, the willingness to learn the process, do the “inner work” that is essential, and continually challenge ones self with the question “Why do I want to be a healer?” And while one can learn the basics in a 12 hour Foundations of Therapeutic Touch workshop, TT is a discipline which requires practice, focus and concentration to develop excellence as a practitioner. It helps to have an understanding of how the physical body works, but anyone can learn TT.

Health care workers, especially nurses, are attracted to Therapeutic Touch because they have a natural compassion and desire to help in their frequent contact with people who are ill and in need of help.
