How to Request a Therapeutic Touch Session or Join a Drop-In Through TTNC

Updated

You can request a Therapeutic Touch (TT) session by using the contact information linked on the TTNC website, and you can join a TT Drop In Session through the entry point provided on the same site. TTNC also maintains a Facebook page and lists volunteer opportunities for those who want to stay connected or get involved. The steps below reflect what the TTNC site itself presents; where the site does not publish details (such as a booking form, schedule, or fee), this guide does not assume them.

What TTNC Is and What It Offers

Therapeutic Touch® Networks of Canada (TTNC) is the Canadian network associated with Therapeutic Touch, an energy-based therapy. According to TTNC, everyone has an energy field known as the human biofield that flows down, through, and around the body to maintain health physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. A TT practitioner uses their hands as a focus to detect blockages in the flow of energy, which are often present with illness or dis-ease, and uses a series of techniques to help the body re-pattern its energy field toward wholeness.

Key points about a TT session, as described by TTNC:

  • The client remains fully clothed and can sit or lie down, whichever is more comfortable.
  • Physical touch is not necessary — the practitioner moves their hands a few centimetres or inches from the body, working through the client's energy field to assess for imbalances.
  • A session lasts from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the individual and situation.
  • Permission is required before the session begins.
  • A session can be done at a distance.
  • The only equipment needed is your hands; TT can be done anywhere with intention and compassion.
  • TT is also used for self-care and self-healing, since the overall relaxation response supports the body's own healing.

TT was established in the United States in 1972 by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, and Dora Kunz, an intuitive healer. TTNC notes that TT techniques are taught in workshops, universities, colleges, and nursing programs by Recognized Teachers.

How to Request a TT Session

The TTNC site directs visitors to its contact information to request a TT session. The practical path is:

  1. Go to the TTNC website and find the contact information section (the site labels this as the place to request a TT session).
  2. Use the listed contact method to send your request.
  3. In your request, state what you are asking for — a TT session — and provide the details needed to arrange it (for example, your location and whether you are open to an in-person or distance session, since TTNC states a session can be done at a distance).

Expected result: You reach the TTNC contact channel and can begin arranging a session. TTNC does not publish a session fee, booking form, or scheduling system on the page evidence provided, so confirm availability, format, and any cost directly through the contact information.

Common sticking point: The site does not state response times or a self-serve booking tool. If you do not hear back quickly, that reflects the contact-based process rather than a missing step on your part.

How to Join a TT Drop In Session

TTNC provides an entry point for joining a TT Drop In Session. To use it:

  1. Visit the TTNC website.
  2. Locate the "Join a TT Drop In Session" link or section.
  3. Follow that entry point to the drop-in information.

Expected result: You reach the drop-in session information or sign-up path that TTNC provides. Because the site does not publish a drop-in schedule, platform, or fee in the available evidence, treat the linked entry point as the source of current details.

Common sticking point: Drop-in sessions may run on a schedule that changes. If the page does not show dates or times, check the TTNC Facebook page, which the site also offers as a way to follow and interact.

Other Ways to Connect: Facebook and Volunteering

Option What it is for How to use it
Facebook page Following TTNC and interacting with the community Use the Facebook page link provided on the TTNC site
Volunteer opportunities Getting involved with TTNC if you want to participate rather than only receive a session Review the volunteer opportunities listed on the TTNC site

If your goal is to receive a session, start with the contact information. If your goal is to attend a group session, start with the Drop In Session entry point. If your goal is to stay informed or contribute, the Facebook page and volunteer listings are the relevant routes.

Quick Decision Guide

  • I want a one-to-one TT session → Use the TTNC contact information to request a session.
  • I want to try TT in a group setting → Use the "Join a TT Drop In Session" entry point.
  • I want updates or community contact → Follow the TTNC Facebook page.

TTNC does not publish pricing, session fees, or login requirements in the available material, so do not assume a session is free or that an account is needed. Confirm those details through the contact information or the drop-in entry point before you commit.
