Workshop Aims & Structure

People with or without dogs are welcome. If your dog has aggression issues, call me to discuss whether it is appropriate to bring them along, or leave them at home. Anyone attending without a dog will learn the same skills as those with one.

As TTouch works on all beings with a nervous system, you will experience what your companion may feel when we practice on each other. I feel this is important - you can feel how small adjustments can make a huge difference.

Workshops are kept small to ensure good one-on-one contact, allowing individual issues to be addressed where appropriate.

If you would like to hold a workshop, contact me to discuss dates & a venue.

Rescue Centres - I am happy to hold workshops for your staff & volunteers without charge (apart from expenses). Fundraisers can also be organised.
