What Is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch is a heart-centered, evidence-informed energy therapy that works with your body’s natural energy system to restore balance, relieve stress, and support overall well-being. Using gentle, intentional touch, practitioners clear and balance the energy flow that supports your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
This integrative therapy is backed by research and practiced in hospitals, clinics, wellness centers, and private practices around the world. Healing Touch helps activate the body’s innate self-healing process, creating harmony within the energy system and supporting the whole person.
How Energy Healing Works
(In Plain English + Backed by Science)
Healing Touch restores energy balance, which activates your body’s natural capacity for self-healing.
You are an energy being. Every cell in your body produces energy, creating a measurable biofield — an energy system that flows in and around you. Within this system are energy centers (chakras) that regulate how energy moves between your body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
When your energy is flowing freely, your whole system thrives. But stress, illness, injury, or emotional challenges can disrupt this natural flow. These imbalances may show up as fatigue, discomfort, emotional distress, or simply feeling “out of sync.”
This is where Healing Touch comes in. Practitioners are trained to sense, assess, and gently influence your body’s energy flow. Using light touch or working just above the body, they help clear energetic blockages and restore healthy circulation within your energy system.
“When your energy flows freely, your body remembers how to heal.”
By returning your energy system to balance, Healing Touch supports your body’s natural ability to self-heal — physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The result? You feel more relaxed, aligned, and resilient.
Energy healing may sound mysterious, but there’s both an art and a science behind it. Healing Touch works with your body’s natural energy system, restoring balance and supporting your innate ability to heal. Here’s how it works — in simple terms and backed by science.
The Science Behind Energy Healing
Research has shown that all living things are surrounded by a measurable field of energy — the biofield. Healing Touch works directly with this field to support the body’s self-regulating systems and restore balance. Here’s how:
The Biofield: Your biofield surrounds and flows through you, acting as the energetic blueprint for your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Healing Touch works directly with this system to bring it back into balance.
Energy Centers (Chakras): Your energy centers manage the flow between your body, mind, and spirit. When they’re balanced, you feel grounded, vital, and emotionally steady. When they’re blocked, imbalance can show up as stress, fatigue, or physical discomfort.
Entrainment: During a Healing Touch session, your energy begins to “sync” with the practitioner’s balanced, coherent state — much like one tuning fork causing another to vibrate in harmony. This process helps your body reset its natural rhythms and supports healing.
Physiological Response: Studies suggest that restoring balance in the energy system:
-
Promotes deep relaxation
-
Lowers stress hormones
-
Improves circulation
-
Strengthens the immune system
-
Supports your body’s natural capacity to heal
Your energy system influences every part of your health — body, mind, and spirit. When energy moves freely, your systems naturally self-regulate. When flow is disrupted, imbalance can develop.
Healing Touch uses evidence-based techniques to help restore balance and support overall well-being.
Decades of research show Healing Touch’s positive impact on relaxation, stress reduction, and quality of life.

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.
