Beginnings
A Leap of Faith
My leap of faith began in 1996. I had been working in the mortgage department of our small town's bank. It was a good job with good benefits. Still, I had been restless for a while, knowing that there was more that I needed to be doing with my life. That spring, I attended a prerequisite event in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. I returned home excited and informed my husband, Gary that I had found my calling. I quit my job, and in the following September I started school.
​
In my Junior year, I met my Guide, Ra, who began to teach me additional skills beyond the scope of my BBSH training. I was introduced to Dolphin Breath and Outer Level Chakras beyond the customary seven taught by most Energy Medicine Schools. By the time of my graduation in 2000, I had developed my own unique modality. It was based on scientific knowledge gleaned from anatomy & physiology, and medical books. I was able to have positive results with diseases and illnesses that traditional medicine had difficulty treating. I called my new modality EnergyTouch. Four years later, as my work was becoming known, I was encouraged by other healers to share my knowledge, and The Energy Touch School of Advanced Healing was born. It was one of the scariest things I had ever done in my life, but it put me on my path, and I have never looked back.

The EnergyTouch® School of Advanced Healing began in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2004.
The Energy Touch® School of Advanced Healing was founded in 2004 by Tricia Eldridge with its early home being in the Kalamazoo Center for the Healing Arts in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Since its inception the School has steadily grown and expanded its influence in the Energy Medicine community. The Grand Rapids Michigan area was our home for several years.
Our newest home is located in the new EnergyTouch Center at 216 W Main Street, Unit 2, in Historic Downtown Lowell, Michigan.

The Dolphin Breath® Teachings
Essential to Tricia's early teachings was a multidimensional chakra-clearing skill that would become the foundation for her work. This skill includes a grounding meditation, which begins by instructing the practitioner to open their pranic tube, allowing them to connect to Universal and Earth Energies and serve as a conduit between the two. She called this chakra-clearing skill the Dolphin Breath® teachings.
The Three-Year Program
Today the Energy Touch® School of Advanced Healing is a three-year program designed for adults, using both classroom and home study to complete their training. Each school year, students travel to West Michigan for hands-on instruction and lectures with Tricia and her staff. Small class size is maintained to insure direct contact with each student. Classes are scheduled to allow students to continue to maintain current jobs and/or develop their healing practices while discovering new skills for use with their clients. One day during each class week, community clients may be invited into the classroom for sessions with the students. Community client sessions can help the students build their confidence in the work, in their Guidance, and in their ability to communicate their findings with their clients. Homework assignments between each class week allow students to integrate these new skills into their practice and report immediate results. Students are also encouraged to explore their own unique talents and share their experiences, joys and concerns in a safe environment of compassion and respect.
Self-Evolution
During the course of the school, personal therapy sessions are required with an intention towards clearing the energies, belief systems and cellular memories that no longer serve the student healers. Because the heart is the gateway for this work, deep issues and beliefs held energetically in the heart—both conscious and unconscious—come forward to be released in a safe compassionate environment. Just as we help our clients remove unnecessary energies and beliefs, so do we need to clear our own fields to allow for the growth and multi-dimensional expansion that will bring us to our full potential as Energy Touch® Practitioners. These sessions are done outside the classroom to allow the student to process emotional issues in private.
"We can only take our clients as far as we ourselves are willing to go."
