Relaxing! Calming! Thanks so very much. I received Therapeutic Touch following hip replacement surgery. The first couple of sessions helped reduce both swelling and muscle tension. The next couple of sessions relaxed me into a deep and needed sleep! The final session was lovely and calming. Therapeutic Touch serves a very special place in the healing process for sure.

After breaking my ankle on April 15th 2015, I was in pain and worried about potential surgery. I contacted Shirley Boon, a Recognized Practitioner in our area. She gave me Therapeutic Touch and I immediately felt much better and less worried.
Over the next few weeks I received Therapeutic Touch regularly, either one on one or as distant Therapeutic Touch . When I went back to the surgeon on April 30th to have an x-ray to see how the ankle was doing, he was visibly pleased and said to 'Keep doing whatever you are doing!' The break was in place and healing! Needless to say, I was very relieved and feeling the Therapeutic Touch had a lot to do with it.
Therapeutic Touch also helped to relieve the pain in my hands, arms, and shoulders from using the crutches. Thank you Shirley and thank you Therapeutic Touch! L. Arnold, Huntsville, April/May 2015

Healing Energy: Therapeutic Touch recently contributed the much needed rest and respite from the rigors of my experiences with chemotherapy, and very shortly thereafter, Therapeutic Touch established peace and well-being to ease the sadness of the passing of my beloved mother.

I was completely unfamiliar with Therapeutic Touch® until Jeanie Dunnett, RT approached me offering to treat my knee both before and after the stem cell procedure. During my pre-op treatment I became very relaxed with a generalized feeling of peace. Jeannie sent distant sessions after the procedure.
Further hands on post-op sessions left me with the same feelings of wellbeing. Those nights I was pain free and slept well. I awoke each morning after, feeling refreshed and restored. My experience demonstrated that Therapeutic Touch played a beneficial role in my recovery. Jean Pammer, RN. Hilo, Hawaii April 2014
Note: Since then, Jean has gone on to learn Therapeutic Touch and is now helping others to heal!

During time at Guelph Hospice, Therapeutic Touch was offered to my husband, who appeared much more calm afterwards. I really felt it eased his passing. Several close family members also accepted the offer of TT, and all said it helped them cope with a very sad time in their lives. L.T., Rockwood, ON

My Therapeutic Touch treatments helped my chemotherapy and radiation sessions go easier. The physiotherapist and surgeon were amazed at my range of motion the morning after my surgery, and at how quickly the incision healed. Sharon Dixon, Belleville, ON

As a pediatric nurse, I have had the opportunity to offer Therapeutic Touch to many children and teens. While responses are individual, for the most part they describe it as relaxing and comforting and often ask for more sessions. The parents of the children also find it calming when they watch their children receive Therapeutic Touch. Therapeutic Touch has enhanced my holistic nursing practice. Darka Neill RN, BScN, RTTP
