Therapeutic Touch® is a natural human potential and is a skill that requires compassion and intentionality. Therapeutic Touch is administered with the intent to enable people to re-pattern their energy toward wholeness and health.
Only Therapeutic Touch has a strong foundation as a medically researched energy-based modality, originally developed for use by health care professionals. The British Columbia Therapeutic Touch® Network Society (BCTTNS) is a non-profit organization that promotes and supports its members, and sets the standards for the practice and teaching of Therapeutic Touch®. The BCTTNS website provides information on education, practice groups, membership, research, Therapeutic Touch-related articles and conferences.
Our Mission
BCTTNS provides education and ongoing support to members interested in developing a standard level of expertise in Therapeutic Touch via online and in-person training courses, conferences, practice groups, a referral service, mentoring, and ongoing research.
BCTTNS will continue to raise awareness of Therapeutic Touch to the general public, including health care practitioners.
BCTTNS continues to build a strong Therapeutic Touch identity by playing an active role so that everyone may have access to Therapeutic Touch.
