Mentees: Fall in Love

 

Christine Salas

Welcome Healing Touch Mentees!

I’m Christine Salas, Healing Touch Professional Association Community Director,

I remember arriving at the Minneapolis, MS airport and riding to our Level 4 retreat location, with another Healing Touch student that I had just met. I was 5 months pregnant, at the time, and determined to complete as much of the Healing Touch Program as I could before my daughter arrived. Level 4 even more confirmed for me that I had finally found what I had been searching for and I felt at home with my people, who spoke my language.

I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the homework and requirements that were expected during my mentorship year. 100 documented sessions?! Where would I find all these people to work on? And read 7 books? Although I was determined and excited to begin my mentorship, I had felt a little unsure of how I was going to do it all while working full-time and becoming a mommy soon.

And with support from my mentor, I found my way, completing my homework assignments one by one and finding friends and family to practice on in the evenings and on weekends. I continued to move forward in the program while still having lots of questions of how this would all lead me to becoming a professional practitioner and what it would mean for my personal and professional life, once I reached the end of the program. I remember feeling alone at times and somewhat isolated from my friends and family whom, although supportive, didn’t fully understand the journey I was on. And I remember how excited and motivated I was to learn and grow, and how alive and energized I felt!

I remember these things as I create the space and HTPA programs for mentees like you. HTPA members have the benefit and opportunity of learning and growing together, and supporting and holding space for each other. HTPA is a safe space where you can be vulnerable, and ask all the questions you need answers to, in order to grow yourself into a professional practitioner.

Becoming an HTPA Member gives you the support and resources you need as you embark on this amazing journey. Learn from those that have walked the same path as you and find more freedom and success in your work and in your life. All of you is welcome here, no matter where you are in your professional or personal journey.

I look forward to meeting and supporting you!

In service of your Service,
Christine Salas, LCSW, HTP
Healing Touch Professional Association Community Director
