About Healing Touch

What is Healing Touch?

Healing Touch is an energy-based therapeutic approach to healing. It uses light touch or off-body hand movements to influence the client’s energy system. Healing Touch is endorsed by the American Holistic Nursing Association. Practitiones undertake rigorous training, completing five levels of classes in order to be certified in the modality. After certification, practitioners participate in continuing education to refine and expand their skills.

One of the main goals of Healing Touch is to promote a sense of well-being for the client by restoring harmony and balance to their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies which, in turn, helps each client to tap into their own ability to self-heal.

Healing Touch is an alternate modality that complements mainstream medical practices, often helping clients to respond more positively to traditional medical interventions. It is a non-invasive, safe practice that promotes health and wellness in all areas of one’s life.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A HEALING TOUCH SESSION?

Before Treatment

Before each Healing Touch treatment, the client and practitioner have a brief discussion to determine what will be worked on during the session. The client removes their shoes and then rests on a massage table. Covered by a blanket, the client is encouraged to enter a receptive and restful state of mind.

During Treatment

The practitioner will then do an off-body hand/pendulum assessment of the client’s energy field and begin to use techniques that address the physical, emotional, and energetic issues that have been identified. The treatment concludes with a final clearing of the energy field and grounding.

After Treatment

After the Healing Touch treatment, the practitioner invites the client to share their experience. Most people feel deeply relaxed and peaceful after the session. Suggestions may be offered to encourage self-care and the healing process.
