Welcome to the Windsor-Essex Branch of the TTNO, or the WE-TTNO. It is a great group for anyone who has taken at least one Therapeutic Touch® (TT) workshop/level, & would like to meet monthly with other members from a variety of levels/training & experience. We host at two different meeting locations within Essex County - one in Windsor & another in Leamington at the local Hospice sites. When meeting in-person is not viable, we also have the ability to do it online via Zoom. Through our branch you can attend monthly meetings to network & socialize, to take additional education, receive a Therapeutic Touch session & give one, to volunteer to provide sessions to various groups / locations in Windsor-Essex County, to be mentored to become a Recognized Practitioner, & more!
TTNO Branches help support the Therapeutic Touch® Network of Ontario, through monthly meetings & activities, such as providing practice sessions each month, which are essential for both beginning students & on-going practitioners. Good support & an opportunity to give & receive sessions are the most common factors in a person's decision to continue studying or practicing Therapeutic Touch®. A branch is a great place to share good & challenging experiences, as well a place to find like minded persons.

Our Provincial Organization
An Introduction to the
Therapeutic Touch® Network of Ontario
The TTNO was incorporated in 1994 as a non-profit organization. It provides a Referral Service that matches clients with Recognized Practitioners (RP).

Therapeutic Touch® is taught & practiced throughout the world, including at numerous universities & colleges in Canada & the USA. It is accepted in the policies & procedures of an increasing number of healthcare institutions worldwide & as an intervention in many Ontario hospitals, nursing homes, hospices & clinics.
Therapeutic Touch® is a registered trademark in Canada.
What is TT ~ Therapeutic Touch®?
Therapeutic Touch® is a holistic, evidence-based therapy that incorporates the intentional & compassionate use of universal energy to promote balance & well-being. It was developed in 1972 by Dr. Delores Krieger (a PhD nursing professor) & Dora Kunz (a gifted writer & healer) . TT practitioners are educated to modify a person's energy field when disease or illness obstructs or depletes their flow energy. The Therapeutic Touch® session restores order & harmony to the client's field. Based on the belief that the body can heal itself, TT is a method of healing a person to mobilize their own natural healing abilities. Compassion & intention play an integral role in the practitioner's process. TT can be used on it's own, or as an integrative part of a health, wellness, & self-care.
To learn more about TT, the TTNO, & membership go to:
"Healing is a humanisation of energy and Therapeutic Touch®
is a natural human potential. It is not a miracle cure.
The miracle is that Therapeutic Touch can be
done by everyone - including you."
