Services

Integrative Touch for Kids is organized to fulfill these specific purposes:

1) To provide consultation and information to the healthcare community

2) To provide education to integrative medicine practitioners

3) To engage in scientific research of integrative healing therapies

4) To further the development of integrative healing services for vulnerable and underserved populations.

Our services for each of these specific purposes:

1) Through the creation of a healing retreat center for children with special needs and their families, we are developing a model program for individuals and providers internationally to experience the impact and effect of integrative healing therapies for children and their caregivers. The systems and practices offered at the healing center will be those based in Eastern and Western philosophies including:

·        Lifestyle and dietary approaches

·        CAM therapies such as herbs, massage, yoga, meditation, acupuncture and biofeedback 

·        Support groups, conscious mental processing, prayer, art, music, and dance therapies

·        Energy therapies such as Reiki, Qi Gong, and Therapeutic Touch

2) Through consultation and education, we provide an extensive Menu of Services for organizations that would like to develop integrative healing therapy programs for children, which include:

  • Educational Materials for Staff, Parents, and Children

  • Hands on Training and Training Manuals for Integrative Medicine Practitioners

  • Policies/Procedures and Credentialing, Privileges and Liability Issues

  • Guidelines

  • Quality Enhancement and Improvement

  • Development Timelines

  • Cost Considerations

  • Reimbursement Considerations

  • Staff Requirements

3) We have a commitment to furthering scientific awareness and knowledge about integrative healing therapies and are involved in the creation, design, and implementation of various research studies. We also provide consulting services for individuals who are preparing applications for research and would like additional expertise. Our staff is directly involved in writing and submitting grant applications for research studies and is available to consult on projects. 

4) We take a strategic approach in offering our services at minimal or no cost to the recipient. This is achieved through supporting the development of fundraising strategies, private donations, and treatment reimbursement plans. This enables our service population, children with special health care needs, to receive integrative healing therapies regardless of socio economic status.
