Retired HTCP or HTCI Designation
The Certification Governing Board is pleased to announce the creation of a designation for retired certified Healing Touch Practitioners and Instructors. The purpose of the Retired designation is to recognize years of service to the Healing Touch Program, its community and clients, and to acknowledge dedication to certification.
Retirement from Healing Touch practice can take place for a variety of reasons including illness, disability, career change or choice. The Retired designation is to recognize those certified practitioners and instructors who would like acknowledgement of their achievement no matter which path they choose.
The HTCP/I-Retired is not a certification, but merely a designation to recognize the achievement of having earned and held the HTCP or HTCP/I credential.
Eligibility Requirements
- The applicant must have been certified and practicing Healing Touch to be eligible for the retired credential.
