Leonie Van Gelder (TT)

BA LMT QTTT
I originally learned Therapeutic Touch in the 1970’s, but it wasn’t until I began to manage Camp Indralaya with my husband in the mid 1990’s that I more fully committed myself to an ongoing practice. Over the years, I have worked on people with a variety of conditions, and I continue to learn. As I grow in experience and confidence, my receptivity also grows. Currently I am on the Therapeutic Touch International Association’s board. During these past few years, I have practiced TT in person as a caregiver, and also on Zoom with friends and colleagues. Therapeutic Touch has become an expression of my inner life, and an opportunity to be of service. As Dee Krieger so often stated, TT is an “act of compassion” and an “act of interiority.”
