Worldwide Certification is now performed autonomously by Healing Touch Certification, a division of HTP.

Every Healing Touch Class prior to April 1, 2008 was a HTP/CCHT class, or was offered with the approval and under the direction of HTP and the Program Director.

Only Healing Touch Program Instructors offer the Standard Curriculum which is the basis of Janet Mentgen's Healing Touch.

Healing Touch Program is continuing Janet Mentgen's legacy as she envisioned. Her chosen and mentored Program Director is Cynthia Hutchison and the CEO of HTP is her daughter Lisa Mentgen Gordon, who worked with Janet for fifteen years before Janet died.

Healing Touch International (HTI) was created to certify the completion of students of Janet Mentgen's Healing Touch Program, which is the only program of Healing Touch. Leaders of Healing Touch International chose to no longer recognize that Healing Touch Program was the sole owner and provider of the Healing Touch curriculum, as they had historically. HTI adopted a position that ANY program could qualify for certification, and they were therefore no longer maintaining the standards of certification or honoring the position they were entrusted with to safeguard the terminal objectives.

Healing Touch Program (HTP) removed HTI from the position of administrator of certification for the Healing Touch Program, and no longer has an affiliation with Healing Touch International (HTI). HTI has chosen to encourage instructors to independently develop and offer their own competing educational programs of Healing Touch that are not equivalent to HTP courses, and are not part of Janet's Healing Touch community.
