About Therapeutic Touch Practice Groups

A Therapeutic Touch® Practice Group is a place to increase your Therapeutic Touch skills in a supportive environment. To find a Practice Group in your area go to the Find Practice Groups section of this website.  

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 two or three hours, in the afternoon or evening. There is almost always the opportunity to give and receive a Therapeutic Touch treatment. Some groups offer refreshments. There can be a donation required to cover room rent costs or for Therapeutic Touch material.

What Happens in a Therapeutic Touch Practice Group?

•  An introduction of each member giving participants an opportunity to present ideas, information and issues related to Therapeutic Touch
•  A centering exercise or meditation
•  The exchange of Therapeutic Touch sessions providing an opportunity for practise
