What is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch (HT) is a noninvasive type of holistic energy therapy, using
light-touch and no-touch energy-based techniques to balance
and align the human energy field. The body’s natural healing
capabilities are accelerated when the energy field is
balanced. HT has been recognized in the medical community
since 1989, and is used by more than 75,000 health care
practitioners worldwide. The Healing Touch Certification
Program is now taught by 200+ certified instructors throughout
the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand,
Europe, South Africa and South America. Many hospitals
offer HT pre- and post-surgery to accelerate your recovery.
What does Healing Touch do?
During HT the body releases endorphins creating a deep state of relaxation. As the body relaxes, circulation
increases. Increased circulation to the ailing site provides increased oxygen, nutrients and hormones, as well
as boosting the body’s natural cleansing of the site. This increased circulation supports the body’s natural healing
process.

What should I expect during a Healing Touch session?
At the beginning of our session I will ask you how you are feeling, your pain levels, symptoms and your
top treatment priorities for
our HT session. HT uses the hands to clear, energize and balance your personal energy
field. My hands are sometimes placed on or near your body,
as well as off your body in the energy field which surrounds
your body. HT techniques are noninvasive and pleasant to
receive. Most people become extremely relaxed during a
HT treatment. You can receive HT on a massage table or
while sitting in a chair. Sessions usually last from 40-60
minutes. At the end of our session I will tell you what I found in your field
and what techniques that I used. I will also ask you about your pain levels and symptoms. We will discuss
ideas for exercises that you can do between Healing Touch treatments to accelerate your healing progress.
My goal is to find exercises that you are willing to try. These exercises could include things like deep breathing,
self Healing Touch techniques, sounds to balance the energy field, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), etc.
Depending on the severity and history of your
problem, multiple HT treatments may be required for optimum
results.
Does Healing Touch have to be done in person?
I have had equal success with both humans and animals in person and
distance. This is my process for distance HT sessions.
We schedule a time for your session. During your session
I would like for you to be able to sit or lie
down quietly. You can listen to peaceful soothing music.
I ask that you do not have a lot of activity going on
during the session; workmen, a party, television, vacuuming,
reading, etc. I want you to be peaceful and relaxed. At the time of our session, call me
on the telephone so that we can check in on how you are
doing. I will ask about how you are feeling and get information
about your symptoms, pain levels and treatment priorities. We will then hang up the telephone,
and I will do your Healing Touch treatment. This will take about 40-60 minutes
depending on what I find. At the end of the session I
will call you and report on what I found and the techniques
I used. I will ask you about your symptoms. We will discuss exercises that you can do between
Healing Touch treatments to accelerate your healing progress.

What about my current doctor?
Healing Touch does not replace traditional medical health care, medical
diagnosis or medical treatment for illness. Healing Touch
complements conventional medical care.
