Healing Touch and Healing Touch for Animals

Healing Touch is a biofield therapy that is an energy based approach to health and healing which follows Barbara Brennan's "Hands of Light". Part of their curriculum used to be Therapeutic Touch, but that organization now has its own curriculum and has requested that it no longer be included as part of any other modality. It uses touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. These non-invasive techniques that utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields thus affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and healing. It is based on a heart-centered caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client's health and healing. The goal in Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance in the energy system placing the client in a position to self heal. Healing Touch complements conventional health care and is used in collaboration with other approaches to health and healing.

Healing Touch for Animals® (HTA) is a bio-field energy application that bridges holistic animal healthcare with traditional veterinary medicine. In the HTA program, students learn how to assist animals with their health and well-being through the HTA Techniques. The workshops, consisting of four-levels, lead to certification as a Healing Touch for Animals® Practitioner. The HTA workshops teach participants how to assist their animals with healing of injuries, illness, physical and emotional trauma and how to work with behavioral issues. During the weekend workshop, hands-on experience provides the participants with easily applied applications as they work with dogs and horses. Other species such as cats, birds, aquatics and exotics are discussed during the teaching. The HTA workshops are open to anyone interested in learning holistic healthcare techniques-veterinarians, veterinary technicians, animal healthcare providers, trainers, pet owners, kennel and rescue center operators and animal lovers. HTA is also taught to communities internationally. Healing Touch for Animals is a separate entity, but still falls under the Healing Touch umbrella. Carol Komitor is a Certified Massage Therapist, Certified Healing Touch Practitioner/Instructor and has been teaching energy medicine since 1991. Carol brought her 13-year background as a veterinary technician and the experience and knowledge gained from her training and private practice together to develop the Healing Touch for Animals® Program in 1996. As a leading expert in holistic animal healthcare, Carol Komitor consults with clients and veterinarians, bringing a cooperative adjunct for the well-being of animals. Carol's vision for HTA is to benefit both animals and their people.
