Welcome to the Therapeutic Touch® Networks of Canada
The dream of a Canadian organization for Therapeutic Touch® practitioners began when the first regional networks were formed in the early 1980s. With the work of organizing these networks now well underway, time and energy have become available to make the dream become reality.
The Therapeutic Touch® Networks of Canada (TTNC) was incorporated on January 17, 2011. We are a dynamic organization, full of energy and ambition, dedicated to the promotion, practice and acceptance of Therapeutic Touch as developed by Dora Kunz and Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN. We recognize its effectiveness as a non-invasive integrative modality.
Our goal is to act as the umbrella organization for all Canadian Therapeutic Touch networks; coordinating education, research, and acting as a single voice when communicating with other international Therapeutic Touch organizations. The TTNC is a not-for-profit organization.

TTNC Core Values for Therapeutic Touch Networks of Canada (TTNC)
TTNC is the umbrella organization for the 5 Canadian Therapeutic Touch Networks of BCTTNS, PTTN, The TTNO, TTNQ, & ATTN. Each Network has a volunteer representative on the TTNC Board of Directors which is responsible for showing leadership within the Canadian TT community using a consensus model for making decisions.
These core values provide an ethical framework that guides the members of the TTNC Board in their actions and relationships, and in their decision-making processes. This framework includes the over-arching values of respect and inclusivity which are foundational to the values listed in this document.
Collaboration – the TTNC Board promotes the practice and awareness of Therapeutic Touch® (TT) by working together with the Networks on projects that benefit the members of the networks, such as providing guidelines for teaching TT and reciprocity. Collaboration includes representation and participation from the Networks on the Board and on TTNC committees. The TTNC Board strives to facilitate communication using online platforms (Zoom).
Integrity – includes authenticity, trust, honesty, dependability, and loyalty which are the ingredients for healthy working relationships among the Networks and TTNC, as well as the International TT Community. Integrity is necessary for the transparency in discussions and decisions.
Empathy – TTNC recognizes empathy as a quality that is necessary to understand a dissenting point of view without judgment and to treat each other with compassion regardless of our differences.
Accountability – The TTNC Board takes responsibility for their actions and decision making in their endeavours to promote TT and in the competency of the practice of TT through teamwork with the Networks. The Board is committed to being transparent in the ongoing reporting of their finances.
