Healing Touch Level 5

Level 4 and 5 NotebookCompletion, Celebration & Commitment!

Level 5 is a time of completion, celebration and commitment to continued progress and excellence. Assignments which were completed during the apprenticeship period are submitted and evaluated for course completion. This session is designed to acknowledge the student’s work and offer constructive suggestions for continued improvement.

Celebration occurs as the student is acknowledged, appreciated and validated for the dedicated work accomplished during the apprenticeship period. Upon satisfactory completion of all work, the student receives a Certificate of Completion for the Healing Touch Program and achieves the Healing Touch Practitioner status (HTP) an official graduate of the certificate program.

This class also prepares students to understand the international certification process and criteria, an optional step after program graduation. Healing Touch Level 5 assists the student in evaluating their progress and level of commitment to the certification process.
