WHAT IS HEALING TOUCH®?

Healing Touch® is an energy therapy in which practitioners consciously use their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to support and facilitate physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

​

Healing Touch® is a biofield (magnetic field around the body) therapy that is an energy-based approach to health and healing.

​

Healing Touch® uses the gift of touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the flow from the energy field to the physical body.

These non-invasive techniques employ the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields, thus affecting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. It is based on a heart-centered, caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client's health and healing.

​

The goal of Healing Touch® is to restore balance and harmonies in the energy system, placing the client in a position to self heal.

​
