Healing Touch Professional Association

The Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA) supports Healing Touch students and practitioners through professional development, business resources, and community. Established in 2007 as part of Healing Touch Program, we help members navigate the responsibilities of practice while staying connected to colleagues. Our membership welcomes people at different stages, from introductory students to experienced certified practitioners. We offer educational programs, instructor-led practice groups, and opportunities to learn from peers. Through our Healer Development Series and recorded resources, members explore practical questions, ethical responsibilities, and approaches to developing their skills. We also help practitioners manage the business side of their work. Our resources include practice-building courses, marketing tools, client documentation templates, and guidance on professional boundaries. Eligible U.S.-based members can access optional liability insurance through our partnership with the Energy Medicine Professional Association. Local and virtual chapters, self-care gatherings, and a book club create space for shared learning and lasting connections. We also provide advocacy updates and grant opportunities for outreach and service. Across these activities, our purpose is to support responsible Healing Touch practice and help members build sustainable professional lives.
