Healing Touch is a complementary, integrative energy therapy that uses gentle touch or near-body touch to clear, balance, energize and support the human energy system.

- Decrease anxiety/stress allowing you to feel balanced and clear, able to make decisions easily
- Induce a sense of peacefulness, allowing you to sleep better at night

- Deepen your spiritual connection and bring more joy into your life Enhance recovery from surgery with improved mobility, less pain and faster healing
- Decrease negative effects of trauma/chronic pain/ and post-traumatic stress disorder
This is accomplished by the practitioner using their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to assess the seven major chakras and surrounding energy field for any congestion or blockage. The practitioner then uses various techniques to clear the congestion and open the energy flow by using light touch or near-body touch (hands a few inches above the body) on various areas of the body. This facilitates self-healing by the body and promotes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. The session is administered with the client lying on a treatment table fully clothed. A client can also be sitting up in a chair or in a bed if necessary. The session normally lasts an hour but can be 30 minutes based upon the client’s needs.
