About the Teacher
Why study with them?
BA QTTT
I first learned Therapeutic Touch from Dora Kunz in 1978. I appreciated it and practiced a bit but didn’t really pursue it until after my husband and I began to manage Indralaya in1995. I was fortunate to be able to attend the annual TT workshops with Dora Kunz and Dolores Krieger, and others. I loved being around TT and began to practice more and more. In 2008 I became a massage therapist so I could “put my hands on people” and practice Therapeutic Touch. (TT and massage blend so well together). Later I became a Qualified TT practitioner, and in 2020 I became a Therapeutic Touch teacher. I practice Therapeutic Touch in person and on zoom, and have taught mostly shorter community TT courses. TT has become an important expression of how I can be of service in the world, and it feels so good—it makes me feel more integrated when I practice! Currently I am on the Board of Therapeutic Touch International Association. I am also on the Indralaya Board.
