Integrative Touch for Kids™ works with pediatric facilities that serve children with special needs nationally and internationally. We provide program and research support, training, education, information, evaluation and consultation. Currently, Integrative Touch for Kids is developing a healing retreat center for children with special needs and their families in Tucson, Arizona. The center will be a space where families can come to receive a range of integrative healing therapies to enhance their care. It will focus on holistic healing and a whole systems approach to wellness.

Healing Domains Integrative Touch for Kids™ services are based on the major types of complementary and alternative medicine described by the National Center for Complementary Medicine (NCCAM). NCCAM groups CAM practices into four (4) domains and studies whole medical systems that cut across all domains. Whole medical systems are theories and practices of medicine that have evolved over many years in Eastern and Western cultures. Examples include homeopathic medicine, naturopathic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
