Healing Touch Certificate Program

The Healing Touch International Certificate Program is a continuing education program in energy therapy that is taught throughout the world.

Participants learn about the scientific basis and evidenced-based practice that underlies this energy therapy, and apply the theories and principles of holistic health from an energetic foundation and perspective.

The 5-unit Certificate Program moves from introductory to advanced practice and focuses not only on professional caring for others, but also on transformational self-development and caring for oneself. Attendance at the previous Course Unit plus completion of the designated practice and assessment are required in order to register for the next Course Unit.

See the Practitioners page for more information about becoming a Healing Touch Practitioner.

Instructor training and mentoring is also available through AFHTI. An Instructor Profile pdf is available to download below.
