Healing Touch

$135 for 90 minutes

Healing Touch is a compassionate energy therapy in which practitioners use their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to support and facilitate your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and self-healing. We use therapeutic-grade essential oils to enhance and deepen the Healing Touch treatment.

Healing Touch uses gentle, light or near-body touch to clear, balance, energize and support the human energy system to facilitate the support healing for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. It is a complementary, integrative energy therapy that can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies.

Healing Touch facilitates a deep sense of calm and relaxation as well as overall and specific responses for body-mind-spirit healing. It restores harmony and balance in the human energy system, thus creating optimal environment for the body's innate tendency for healing to occur. You may feel nurtured, balanced and energized.

The session is typically administered while the client lies on a treatment table with clothes on. The practitioner uses her hands to assess your energy system. She proceeds to clear and balance it as needed using either off body touch or a gentle, still touch over various areas of the body.

Healing Touch is accepted, validated and utilized in hospitals, hospice, long-term care, integrative health centers, private practices, and clinics. It is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association and the Canadian Holistic Nurses Association. Research suggests that Healing Touch:

• Reduces pain
