Healing Touch

What is Healing Touch?

Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing, heart-centered energy therapy that uses gentle, intentional touch to assist in balancing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.  It is a collection of standardized, noninvasive techniques that clear, energize, and balance the human energy fields. Healing Touch assists in creating a coherent and balanced energy field, thus supporting one’s innate and natural ability to heal. It is safe for all ages and works in harmony with, and may be integrated with standard medical care.

Research continues to build the evidence base of positive outcomes in response to Healing Touch. Healing Touch is beneficial in:

  • Calming anxiety

  • Reducing symptoms of depression,

  • Decreasing pain,

  • Strengthening the immune system,

  • Enhancing recovery from surgery, or illness

  • Complementing care for neck and spine problems,

  • Supporting cancer care,

  • Creating a sense of well-being,

  • Easing acute and chronic conditions, and

  • Supporting resiliency in care givers/ providers.

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.  Healing Touch was founded in 1989 as a continuing education program for nurses, massage therapists, other health care professionals, and lay persons.  Today, Healing Touch is taught in universities, medical and nursing schools, and other settings around the world.

What happens during a Healing Touch session?

The first session involves a consultation in addition to the Healing Touch session.  The practitioner will ask a series of questions about your physical, mental, and emotional situation, and will answer questions about Healing Touch. Then you lay fully clothed on a massage table while the provider gently places his or her hands slightly above or on the body. The session generally lasts 40 to 60 minutes, and people frequently report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during and after the session. Because there may be a cumulative effect of using Healing Touch over time, regular sessions are recommended.
