“Helen is the perfect TTouch teacher. She’s calm, gentle and knows how to explain the processes so it’s easy to understand and visualize.”

Jeanette Blanchard, President, Royal City Humane Society

“Helen is an amazing teacher and facilitator. Her workshop reflected the individual learning styles of the group—with time given for demonstration, practise and reflection. The TTouch philosophy and techniques explained by Helen will be tremendously useful when put into practise by the volunteers at the Royal City Humane Society. TTouch will give each of us a new, more thoughtful approach to interacting with our shelter cats.”

Leslie Roger, workshop participant

“Helen embodies the gentle and respectful approach that makes TTouch work for animals. Her instruction is clear and the repetition ensures it sticks. She provides an opening to a new way of communicating with, and honouring animals—and humans too!”

Lea Sims, workshop participant

“I wasn’t sure what I was really getting into. I needed an open mind as I am used to working with pets at a Vet Clinic, where our approach has to be fast and it is a stressful situation for them. I found this information great and I can see how it would help.”

“Helen was able to condense and convey a vast quantity of information in a limited time and under relatively less than optimum circumstances at a shelter.”

Daniela Dym, Dogstars certified training graduate 2012

“I would recommend Helen’s TTouch workshop to others because it is a way to get closer to your dog and to be able to understand what they are trying to tell you through their body language.”

workshop participant

“Helen’s calm energy and demonstration of the TTouch techniques was effective and informative. I feel confident I can walk away with a starting base to work with and I want to learn more! I saw the success of the workshop in the effects on my dog’s energy and focus during our time together.”
