Healing Touch energy therapy is a universal language of healing that weaves its threads through all cultures and settings. Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing, heart-centered energy therapy that uses gentle, intentional, touch to assist clients in balancing their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Using a “whole person” approach, the practitioner uses gentle touch either on and off the body to restore harmony and balance.
Healing Touch is a collection of standardized, techniques that clear, energize, and balance human and environmental energy fields. Healing Touch assists in creating a coherent and balanced energy field, and supporting one’s own inherent ability to heal.
