TT FAQ

What is the Origin of Therapeutic Touch

Therapeutic Touch was developed in the early 1970\’s by a remarkable woman, the late Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., then a Professor of Nursing at New York University, and her mentor, the late Dora Kunz, a well-respected \”natural\” healer. Together these two women developed a healing form which can be easily taught and easily learned. Dr. Krieger continued to explore and expand the possibilities of Therapeutic Touch as she actively traveled the world to share her knowledge and experiences. Therapeutic Touch has grown in popularity and is now taught and practiced throughout the world, including numerous universities and colleges in Canada and in the United States.

Is There Scientific Evidence That It Works?

Therapeutic Touch® (TT) is accepted as an evidence-based modality since each possible outcome that is reported about it has been proven in research. In fact, TT has more research documentation than any other healing modality being used today. That came about because Dr. Krieger taught TT to her students. Her graduate students often chose to explore this modality in their Master\’s thesis. Later on many of them earned their PhD in a similar way.
