The Mentorship Program, now in its twenty-second year, continues to be appropriate for Therapeutic Touch (TT) Practitioners at a variety of stages in their development. As with all programs, we are responding to feedback from evaluation forms. Thus, we are evolving a bit in what we offer.
No matter which mentor group you may want, please register for the Mentorship Week. You will receive an application to fill out via email. In the application you will be able to clearly indicate which group you prefer. Thanks!
This year we will be offering three mentorship groups:
- First will be a traditional mentorship group for folks at any level who have at least completed Foundations of Therapeutic Touch and want to deepen their practice. Mentor: Kathy Arquette.
- The second mentorship group will include the Transpersonal Nature of Therapeutic Touch Course. This course is needed for one to complete the work to become a QTTP. Prerequisite for this class is completing Foundations and practicing TT at least six months regularly or with approval of the instructors. Mentors: Kathy Wilmering, Cordy Anderson.
- The third group will include Application of the Inner Processes of Therapeutic Touch Course. This course is the third in the series of Therapeutic Touch and involves inner work and reflection. Prerequisite for this class is completion of Transpersonal Nature of Therapeutic Touch and at least six months of regular TT practice or with approval of the instructors. Mentors: Lin Bauer, Mary Lou Trinkwon
The intent of these programs is to provide a rich opportunity to deepen each phase of TT as well as to explore new means of applying TT to practice in a supportive environment. All who participate will become more effective Therapeutic Touch Practitioners. This special time allows practitioners to offer sessions to participants who attend as healing partners, which is a very beneficial aspect of the program.
Clinical sessions, individual and group presentations will be offered. The groups, led by experienced and credentialed Therapeutic Touch teachers, allow for meeting individual needs and questions and at the same time, there is synergistic learning by all who are present. No matter what your TT experience, this week will expand and enliven you, inside and out.

EdM, QTTP (she/her) I am an energetic, enthusiastic, and joyful TT practitioner and so grateful to have TT as a lifeway, a journey of fun, learning, compassion, and healing. I was introduced to TT twenty plus years ago, Therapeutic Touch dovetailed so nicely with the Sound trainings I was studying. My TT practice deepened through visits to The Rockery, Dee Krieger’s home in Montana, where we attended to complete a “honey-do” list of projects for Dee. I went twice a year and those visits opened my curiosity. I needed to know more about this wonderful healing modality. The visits were…

PMHNP BC MSW, QTTT, (she/her) I am a long-time TT practitioner and teacher who has successfully used TT to address my own serious chronic illness. I also had the privilege of studying with TT co-founders Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz until their deaths. As a nurse practitioner, social worker, and health coach, I have years of experience facilitating groups that change people’s lives. I love teaching Transpersonal because I get to watch people start to feel solid as TT practitioners and really fall in love with TT for what it does for them and their healing partners. They also gain…

BSN, Retired RN, QTTT (she/her) In 1984 I began my 32-year career as a home health and hospice nurse. Therapeutic Touch magically came into my life as the “what to do when there is nothing else left to help”. Almost immediately I found TT to be an amazing adjunct to my nursing care…to ease someone’s respiratory distress…to relieve phantom pain…to help reduce a fever. Now, in my “retreadment” (a term I learned from Dee) my priorities are to be an involved grandma, teach TT, and offer Therapeutic Touch every chance I get. After over 30 years, I know that I…

RTTP (she/her) For nearly 20 years, I was an arts educator at a small university in North Vancouver, B.C. In 2013 my program was cut and I lost my job. As I proceeded forward into what felt like a big mess –doors appeared to me that opened to the world of Therapeutic Touch. I immediately fell in love with the practice and the community. My healing journey through this difficult life transition was supported by TT in a profound way. The assumption in TT that we all have the potential to help and heal others as well as ourselves, was…
