Outside Documented Hours 50 hours Throughout Phases I, II and III
Written, oral, hands-on exams 14 hours Upon completion of all requirements

 

Phase I

In Phase I training you will develop a working definition of Intentional Touch™ as well as become informed and familiar with the conditions this work is designed for. We identify etiology, signs and symptoms of the conditions, as well as learn to recognize and address red flags that arise as a result of these conditions. Our topics will include Foundation Building, Developing a framework for "Client Authority" and Participatory Health Care, Pacing and Customizing sessions, working with the client's protective field and working in partnership with other Alternative and Conventional medical professionals. You will have the tools to customize your treatment techniques, lift damaging imprints from the client's body, mind and emotion, and assist the client in repatterning mental and physical responses set up by the experiences of traumatic or negative touch and reinstate boundaries and rebuild trust. You will have a working knowledge of designing sessions for clients in such a way that each session builds upon the last.

Classes include theory, practice, case studies and a supercised clinical component. Phase I training is the first step of the certification program, however this 34-hour training is a class in itself.
