Healing Touch is an energy based therapy. It uses gentle touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. These noninvasive techniques utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the body's energy field, thus affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and healing.
Healing Touch techniques are noninvasive and pleasant to receive. The hands may rest lightly on or near the body to gently balance the energy field. Most people become deeply relaxed during a healing touch session. You can receive a healing touch session on a massage table or sitting in a chair. Sessions usually last 40 to 60 minutes. Depending on the severity and history of the problem, multiple Healing Touch treatments may be required for optimal results. Sessions can be scheduled in the privacy of your own home. Your family members or friends can be taught techniques to use daily for chronic illness, like cancer or multiple sclerosis.
Healing Touch is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association.
The objective of Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance in the energy system, placing the client in a position to self heal. Healing touch supplements conventional health care and is used in collaboration with all approaches to health and healing. Click here to download the brochure.
How does healing occur?
All healing is self-healing in partnership with the health team. In Healing Touch the goal is to empower the client to activate the innate wisdom of the body to self regulate and heal all aspects of the self.

Healing touch can boost the immune system and increase effectiveness of medications such as antibiotics and pain relievers. During Healing Touch the body releases endorphins which create a deep state of relaxation. As the body relaxes, circulation increases, moving more oxygen, nutrients and hormones to the places that need them most, supporting the body's natural healing process.
