The Heart Touch Method

The Heart Touch Method teaches heart-centered techniques for working with terminally ill individuals. This compassionate care training brings a heart-touching experience for both patients and caregivers, promoting deep connection and healing.

 

The Heart Touch Method provides a safe space for sharing, contemplation, and cultivating awareness. Through experiential activities, group conversations, and hands-on touch techniques, this course will give you a toolkit for working with patients or loved ones facing serious illness.
