Practice Group contacts are listed on two pages alphabetically. Follow the link for locations of Practice Groups starting with the letters A-L and M-Z.

Most practitioners of Therapeutic Touch agree that being a member of a Practice Group has both increased and helped maintain their Therapeutic Touch skills. Meetings are usually held at a regular time once or twice a month for 2 or 3 hours, in the afternoon or evening. Some groups offer refreshments. There can be a donation required to cover room rent costs or for Therapeutic Touch material.
