Healing Touch at ChristianaCare: A Holistic Path to Healing

“Connecting, opening, balancing and energizing.” These are the core principles behind Healing Touch, an energy therapy practice now being embraced at ChristianaCare. Spearheaded by Stacy Noel, a Nursing Integrative Care Manager, Healing Touch is more than a technique—it's a mindset that helps caregivers treat patients as whole people, not just symptoms.

Originally developed by Janet Mentgen, a nurse in the 1980s, Healing Touch helps reduce pain, nausea, anxiety, and stress, and has even shown promise in treating PTSD and accelerating wound healing. At ChristianaCare, nurses and other caregivers are being trained in this approach not only for use with patients, but also as a form of self-care and support for loved ones.

The practice gives caregivers a new way to connect—one that complements clinical care with compassion, intention, and presence. For ChristianaCare, it’s a powerful reminder that healing isn’t just physical—it’s personal, emotional, and energetic too.
