"There are too many people to thank for all of the healing, understanding, and support that my family has received this week. Words cannot express the love I feel for each one of you. I am grateful for this experience, it has changed my life!" - Yvonne L. (parent)
“I can feel the energy when it goes into me, I can feel it healing me, and I don’t think I ever saw anything like this ever before. That was the most important part.” - Retreat Parent
“Words will surely fail me as I make an attempt to tell you how much appreciation and gratitude I feel. …One thing I especially appreciate is the depth of commitment … I feel profound appreciation & gratitude!” – Carolyn K. (Parent)
“It was obvious to me at day one, that the dynamic started and the level of trust developed between us day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute…the facility and facilitators gave us the ability to do that.” – Retreat Parent
“My dad - once he came back home had a big smile and he said he had a massage today and had never been that happy, and my mom is really happy.” – Child Retreat Participant
“I would like to say ‘Thank You’ for giving my family this very incredible opportunity. My children have had the best time ever with the staff …My wife – who handles most of the day to day with the children – i.e. doctors, school, daycare, etc. has had profound change through the classes and workshops and therapies. I know she will carry with her the many ‘tools’ given in this short week. It has been my distinct pleasure to meet all of these wonderful people – to see firsthand the healing that has arisen from this time together. Each and every person should be extremely proud of any association with Integrative Touch for Kids. They ‘touch’ deeply into the hearts of so many and given mostly from their hearts and their own time.” – Tim F. (Parent)
“I think my mom is more accepting of the fact that we deserved this week and I think my dad is also more accepting but in a different way – he’s accepting of the fact that our family is like this and he’s more accepting of who we are as people; and my dad was generally more relaxed and my mom was relaxed.” – Taylor L. (Retreat Sibling)
“We’re all proof that they’re doing a wonderful job, and everybody leaving here safe, happy, energized, basically changed is what I think it’s all about anyway.” – Retreat Parent
Logan's Story
When we first met Logan, he was a shy thirteen year old dealing with the challenges of a rare liver and kidney disease. He joined us for the first Healing Retreat Program in 2009, along with his mother, father and sixteen year old brother. During their stay, Logan and his famiy had the opportunity to receive new healing therapies in an environment that was safe, understanding and nurturing.
