Healing Touch

Healing Touch is classified by the National Institutes of Health as a “biofield” therapy because its effects are thought to be due to manipulation of energy fields around the body. This holistic treatment is ideal to be used in conjunction with a medical approach. Treatments include light touch on specific points on the body as well as around the body.

The goal of the Healing Touch is that of restoring energy and vitality to the body, increasing well-being and supporting the body's ability to heal. The Healing Touch practitioner uses a conscious, intentional process of directing energy through their hands to the patient either by contacting the patient's energy field and/or touching the body. Interventions such as Healing Touch have been shown to elicit a profound relaxation response, reduce tension headache pain and anxiety, as well as elicit numerous other health benefits.
