What is Integrative Touch?
Integrative Touch is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing light into people’s darkest moments by filling critical gaps in healthcare within communities. We focus on innovative models of care that prioritize healing and support.
How does Integrative Touch address gaps in healthcare?
We recognize that 97% of care occurs outside the traditional healthcare system, primarily through family, friends, and self-care. Integrative Touch addresses these gaps through our Heal it Forward model, which provides healing to those in need at little or no cost via scholarships.
What is the Heal it Forward model?
The Heal it Forward model is our innovative approach that allows individuals to receive healing services at little or no cost. This is made possible through scholarships, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent access to necessary care.
What is your vision for communities?
Our vision is to be a home for healing in every community. We aim to create supportive environments where individuals can access the care they need and foster wellness among their peers.
How does Integrative Touch embrace social innovation?
We embrace social innovation by creating new models of care that are responsive to community needs. Our approach is inspired by historical advances in healthcare, such as the establishment of hospice care, and we strive to develop pioneering solutions for the future of medicine.
What is your healing center?
Our first-of-its-kind healing center serves as a prototype for the future of medicine in communities. It is designed to provide holistic support and healing services, showcasing the potential for compassionate care in a community setting.

The Kids Sanctuary is a dedicated space where we provide Compassion Camps and wellness care for kids of all abilities. It is designed to create an inclusive environment for children facing various health and medical challenges, including cancer, autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and more.
What are Compassion Camps?
Compassion Camps are specially designed programs that focus on providing emotional support, healing activities, and social interaction for children with diverse needs.

Importantly, our Compassion Camps utilize the Heal it Forward model, ensuring that no child is ever turned away based on financial need.
