Healing touch is a relaxing, nurturing energy therapy.  Gentle touch assists 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.

WHERE IS HEALING TOUCH USED?

Healing Touch is used in a wide variety of settings including hospitals, long term care facilities, private practices, hospices, and spas.  Janet Mentgen, RN, founded Healing Touch in 1989 as a continuing education program for nurses, other health care professionals, and lay persons.  Today Healing Touch has spread internationally and is taught in universities, medical and nursing schools and other settings around the globe.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?
The first session involves a consultation as well as the energy session itself.  The provider will ask a series of questions about the individual’s physical, mental, and emotional situation, and will answer any questions.   Then the individual will lie fully clothed on a massage table while the provider gently places their hands slightly above or on the individual. The session generally lasts 40 to 60 minutes, and people frequently report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during and after the session.  There is a cumulative effect of using Healing Touch over time and regular sessions are recommended.
