Healing touch is a relaxing, nurturing form of energy therapy.
Very gentle or light touch is used to assist in balancing your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Healing touch works with your energy field to support your natural ability to heal. It is safe for all ages and works in harmony with standard medical care.
Ways in which it can benefit someone:
Reducing stress
Calming anxiety
Decreasing pain
Strengthens the immune system
Helps after a surgery (or prepare you ahead of time)
Helps back and neck pain/problems
Deepens spiritual connections
Supports cancer care/treatment
Helps boost sense of well being
Eases acute and chronic health conditions
There is a lot of research being done on HT and it suggests again and again it has many benefits. My own research project in Iowa County, Wisconsin in 1999 showed great results in helping elderly in a nursing home with anxiety reduction and pain reduction. It was a wonderful project!!
Where is HT used?
HT is used in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, long-term care, private practices, hospices and spas. Today HT is taught internationally, in universities, medical and nursing schools.
What happens in a session?
The first session involves consultation with the client and the energy session itself. The individual will lie fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner will lightly place their hands slightly above or on the individual. The session usually lasts about an hour. People report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during and after the session. There appears to be a cumulative effect, and people often come for regular sessions once they discover the way they feel after treatment.
Often in a session with me, I may weave other modalities into the work I do with each person. We may do some energy medicine or acupressure or other things that are helpful.
