ATTN in the Community

Traditionally, a TT practitioner does not withhold a treatment because an individual is unable to pay. The premise of Therapeutic Touch is that it should be made available to all - especially those in need. For those that are able to pay, you will find that practitioners charge very reasonable fees.

Practitioners graciously and generously donate their time within the community and we dedicate this page to honour their tireless efforts that mean Therapeutic Touch is received by those with the greatest need for compassion and understanding. We also acknowledge Practitioners and members not mentioned here who give of their time, on their own, to friends, neighbors and acquaintances and complete strangers.

Thank you for bringing healing to the world!
