Healing Touch

Healing Touch is a safe, trusted energy therapy that supports whole-person wellness. It is offered by trained practitioners in clinical, wellness, and community settings and is a non-invasive, nurturing treatment that promotes healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

How Energy Healing Works

Energy healing is a holistic approach that engages the body’s natural energy system to promote balance, relaxation, and healing.

Everything in and around us is energy. When that energy becomes blocked or unbalanced, due to stress, illness, or emotional strain, it can impact our overall well-being. Energy healing works to restore flow and harmony within the energy system, activating the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Receiving Healing Touch and caring for your energy field doesn’t just support your health, it uplifts every aspect of your being: body, mind, and spirit. And you don’t have to stop there, you can also learn to practice Healing Touch to care for yourself and others.

Ways Healing Touch Can Improve Your Health

Healing Touch complements all forms of medical care and is suitable for people of all ages and a wide range of health conditions. It is a safe, non-invasive therapy that enhances the body’s natural healing ability.

Sessions are tailored to promote deep relaxation, helping to calm the nervous system, ease emotional tension, and reduce pain. Most clients report noticeable symptom relief and an increased sense of calm, balance, and inner stillness after a session.

Healing Touch also supports pain management by improving energy flow, releasing tension, and reducing the body’s stress response. It is often used alongside conventional treatments for chronic pain, headaches, and other physical concerns.

By restoring energetic balance and releasing emotional congestion, Healing Touch can improve sleep quality, reduce restlessness, and foster a more peaceful and restorative state of being.

Support Healing During Medical Treatment

Healing Touch is used in hospitals, VA Medical Centers, and cancer care clinics as a complementary therapy to support patients undergoing surgery, medical procedures, and cancer treatments.

It is safe, gentle, and non-invasive, and it complements medical care without interfering.

Patients of all ages benefit from the calming, restorative effects of Healing Touch, which is increasingly recognized as part of whole-person, integrative care.

About Healing Touch Sessions

Healing Touch sessions are offered both in person and remotely, providing flexibility to meet your needs wherever you are. Each session is customized to support your specific health concerns, wellness goals, and energetic needs.

Healing Touch Practitioners are trained to follow a professional 10-step process grounded in the nursing care model. This includes a thorough intake, energetic assessment, and development of a treatment plan. You’ll be invited to share your goals for the session and the practitioner will work in partnership with you to support them.

You’ll remain fully clothed, lying on a treatment table or seated comfortably. The practitioner will gently place their hands on, or slightly above your body, in a series of heart-centered techniques designed to clear, balance, and energize your system. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes.

Most people report a deep sense of peace and calm during sessions, with common experiences including warmth, tingling, emotional release, clarity, or a renewed sense of well-being. The effects are often felt physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Healing Touch complements conventional medical care and is appropriate for all ages and health conditions. Whether you’re managing stress, preparing for surgery, navigating chronic illness, or simply seeking greater balance, Healing Touch offers a safe and supportive path.
