On March 8 the TTNO Thunder Bay Branch got a head start on TT Awareness Week. Branch members were grateful to provide 17 employees with Therapeutic Touch sessions. All attending were pleased with their sessions and felt very relaxed after receiving TT. One staff member was going back to her station in mammography with TTNO pamphlets to place in the waiting room for patients. We’ll continue to slowly step towards a partnership, although very aware of the crazy busy environment. We’ll take things as they come and embrace every opportunity that comes our way!
