Healing Touch is a new program, endorsed by the American and Canadian Holistic Nurses Association, which uses natural energy to decrease pain, anxiety and other stress in clients/patients. Level 1 begins a sequence of classes that will allow a student to become a Healing Touch practitioner or instructor.
Our two Healing Touch instructors are Deb Kleuter, who is a HT certified practitioner and a board certified holistic nurse, and Lynn Placek, who also is a HT certified practitioner and instructor. Massage instructor Erin Stauffer graduated from Lewis and Clark, and has studied both Otho-Bionomy and kinesiology in addition. Today, she runs her own successful massage practice and teaches her trade through the college’s Corporate and Community Learning division.
