  “Tomorrow belongs to the people who plan for it today,” is a wise African proverb. And we would like to support you as a HTPA member in planning a great tomorrow for your practice!

  Our Member Spotlight is on Isle Polonko, HTCP/I, Certified RoHun Therapist, Certified Reconnective Healing and Tuning Fork practitioner

  Meet our Member Isle!

  I’m honored to share our latest Member Spotlight interview with Isle Polonko, HTCP/I—a deeply experienced practitioner, instructor, and teacher whose lifelong connection to energy work is grounded in compassion, service, and heart-centered presence.

  With decades of experience spanning Healing Touch, counseling, and holistic modalities, Isle brings a unique depth to her work. From teaching clinical skills to medical professionals to supporting trauma healing and building community-based practices, her journey reflects a profound commitment to both personal transformation and collective healing. In this rich and inspiring conversation, Isle offers wisdom that speaks to the evolving path of a practitioner—one rooted in trust, intuition, and connection.

  Isle’s perspective is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care, trust, and heart-centered presence in Healing Touch, and how these qualities support both the practitioner and the client throughout the healing process.

  In this interview, you’ll learn:

  • How Healing Touch supports personal growth and why self-care is essential for staying grounded, balanced, and effective as a practitioner

  • The importance of letting go of outcomes and trusting the healing process as a compassionate channel for energy work

  • How a Healing Touch practice can evolve over time, from early beginnings to a sustainable, community-centered offering

  • Ways Healing Touch can support trauma healing, including grounding, restoring safety, and balancing the energy system

  • What it takes to bring Healing Touch into underserved communities with creativity, adaptability, and presence

  • Why heart-centered connection—through love, presence, and authenticity—is at the core of meaningful healing work

  This conversation offers both practical insight and thoughtful reflection for wherever you are on your Healing Touch journey.

  This interview can be found on the Member Spotlight page of the member site and is available to HTPA Community and Professional Members.

  This series highlights the diverse ways in which our HTPA Members are bringing Healing Touch into their profession, lives, and communities. The views and opinions expressed are those of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Healing Touch Program, Healing Touch Professional Association Healing Touch or the community. Healing Touch Program and Healing Touch Professional Association offer this as a platform for discussion and awareness, and recognizes and respects that each individual has their own viewpoint and beliefs.

  HTPA is excited to bring you a new episode in our Expand Your Network – Exploring Self-Care Modalities series!

  This presentation features Cheryl Crumpler, PhD, educator and researcher in mind-body wellness, who introduces us to the Tamarkoz Method—a heart-centered meditation practice rooted in Sufi tradition that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.

  After experiencing profound relief from debilitating migraines through this practice, Cheryl devoted her career to studying the science behind contemplative healing methods and their impact on stress, emotional well-being, and physical health.

  Through research, guided techniques, and real-world applications, this episode explores how Tamarkoz can help create greater harmony, resilience, and heart-centered awareness in daily life.

  In this episode, you’ll learn:

  Understand this heart-centered meditation practice rooted in Sufi tradition and how it integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of healing.

  How focusing on the heart shifts awareness and balance
  Learn how concentrating on the heart center can quiet mental activity and support a more grounded, heart-centered state of being.

  Techniques used in a Tamarkoz session
  Explore key components such as breathwork, movement, deep relaxation, and visualization, and how they work together to reduce stress and promote balance.

  The impact of meditation on stress and emotional well-being
  Discover research findings showing reduced stress, increased positive emotions, and improved resilience among practitioners.

  How this practice supports physical and emotional healing
  Hear how consistent practice can influence overall health, including emotional regulation and even physiological processes like recovery and resilience.

  Ways to integrate Tamarkoz into your own self-care or practice
  Learn how this approach can complement Healing Touch and support both personal well-being and client care.

  Whether you are exploring meditation for self-care, stress reduction, emotional healing, or deeper spiritual connection, this presentation offers practical tools and inspiring insights into a transformative healing practice.

  Journey of Souls

  By Michael Newton, PhD

  HT Reading Category: Spiritual Development

  
  

  About the Book:

  Learn the latest details and most recent groundbreaking discoveries that reveal, for the first time, the mystery of life in the spirit world after death on Earth―proof that our consciousness survives―in Journey of Souls by Michael Newton, PhD.

  Using a special hypnosis technique to reach the hidden memories of subjects, Dr. Newton discovered some amazing insights into what happens to us between lives. Journey of Soulsis the record of 29 people who recalled their experiences between physical deaths. Through their extraordinary stories, you will learn specifics about:

  • How it feels to die
  • What you see and feel right after death
  • The truth about "spiritual guides"
  • What happens to "disturbed" souls
  • Why you are assigned to certain soul groups in the spirit world and what you do there
  • How you choose another body to return to Earth
  • The different levels of souls: beginning, intermediate, and advanced
  • When and where you first learn to recognize soulmates on Earth
  • The purpose of life

  Journey of Souls is a graphic record or "travel log" by these people of what happens between lives on Earth. They give specific details as they movingly describe their astounding experiences.

  After reading Journey of Souls, you will gain a better understanding of the immortality of the human soul. You will meet day-to-day challenges with a greater sense of purpose. You will begin to understand the reasons behind events in your own life.

  Journey of Souls is a life-changing book. Already, over 600,000 people have taken Journey of Souls to heart, giving them hope in trying times.

  
  

  About the Author:

  Michael Newton, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in Counseling Psychology, is a certified Master Hypnotherapist, and is a member of the American Counseling Association. He has also been on the faculty of higher educational institutions as a teacher while active in private practice in Los Angeles. Over many years, Dr. Newton developed his own intensive age regression techniques in order to effectively take hypnosis subjects beyond their past life memories to a more meaningful soul experience between lives. He is considered to be a pioneer in uncovering the mysteries about life after death through the use of spiritual hypnotic regression. He now trains other advanced hypnotherapists in his techniques.

  Dr. Newton is the author of three best-selling books, Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Llewellyn, 1994) , Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Llewellyn, May 2000), and Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression (Llewellyn, 2004). Dr. Newton has an international reputation as a spiritual regressionist who has mapped out much of our life between lives experience. He has appeared on numerous national radio and TV talk shows to explain our immortal life in the spirit world.

  The Impact of Self-Care on Professional Success
  

  Facilitated by Gaby Schlumpberger and Sarah Sherbenou

  What if your success isn’t driven by pushing harder—but by taking better care of yourself?

  In this round table, we explore how self-care is not a luxury, but a foundation for sustainable productivity, creativity, and clear decision-making. Together, we’ll reflect on how our energy, boundaries, and daily habits directly influence the way we show up in our professional lives.

  This is an open space to share experiences, challenges, and practical self-care practices that support focus, prevent burnout, and help you stay aligned—even in demanding environments.
