What is Healing Touch
Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing, heart-centered, biofield (energy healing) therapy. Gentle, intentional, touch assist in balancing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. It works with your energy field to support your natural ability to heal. Healing Touch uses a holistic health approach but is also used in collaboration with other Western medicine and integrative approaches to health and healing. Healing Touch is used in a wide variety of environments, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, private practices, hospice, and spas, and is taught universities, medical and nursing schools, and in other settings internationally. Healing Touch is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association.

What to Expect During a Session
When you arrive, you and the practitioner will sit down together first and discuss a brief health history and what you are seeking treatment for today. After discussing your treatment plan, you will lay on a massage table, fully clothed, with soft music playing through the session. The practitioner enters a type of meditative state in order to connect more deeply with you. Then, the Healing Touch practitioner assesses your energy field with hand motions and scans your energy field to detect imbalances. Next, the practitioner will use off-body techniques (near your body, but with no actual contact) or gentle touch over various areas of your body to clear the energy field. The practitioner then performs another scan to ensure the energy imbalances were corrected. Finally, the practitioner “grounds” you, helping you return to a fully alert state.
What Might You Feel?
People have many different reactions to Healing Touch therapy. Some describe sensations of moving energy, deep relaxation, areas of their body or their full body will feel warm or cold, have more energy, tingling, or visions of images and colors. Majority of people fall asleep for a portion of the treatment. Some experience an emotional release such as tears, or they may develop insight into specific areas of their lives. Some will feel sensations on an area of their body that the practitioner is not actively working on. While, others, may experience none of these as every person may not be sensitive to energy or energy flows. The session still benefits everyone. There are no side effects of energy healing.
