Referrals
Referrals are the best compliment that I can receive and much of my Healing Touch practice is due to the referrals of my clients. A referral is always appreciated and a discount is given to clients who make referrals.
The Healing Touch Experience
Prior to the first Healing Touch appointment, clients are asked to complete a brief questionnaire. The first appointment begins with a conversation, during which the responses to the questionnaire are reviewed and questions are asked that range from how the individual is feeling that day to what his or her goals are for the treatment/s. Since the client’s well-being is of utmost importance, the relationship that is established between practitioner and client is a partnership.
After a caring, compassionate discussion, the individual may either lie on a massage table or sit on a chair while an energy assessment is done to determine what Healing Touch technique would be most beneficial at that time. Throughout the treatment, the client remains fully clothed but may be asked to remove his/her shoes, particularly if he/she is lying down.
During the session the practitioner either makes sweeping movements over the body or using light touch, gently places her hands on areas of the body to facilitate clearing the congested energy. A feeling of deep relaxation and sense of well-being are the usual responses experienced by clients. One of the most frequent responses is, “I feel peaceful.”
Following the treatment, recommendations for self-care are made. If needed, a follow-up appointment is scheduled and goals are set for ways to enhance well-being and accelerate the body’s natural healing ability. In addition, there are times when referrals may be made to other health-care practitioners.

What is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch™ is an energy therapy that focuses on helping to restore the natural flow and balance of the body’s energy system. When we are ill, have had surgery, have been injured or are stressed, the flow of energy between the energy centers of the body (the chakras) and the area around the body (the energy field or aura) becomes congested - causing an imbalance or disruption in the energy system.
We can feel these negative changes and know when our bodies are not functioning optimally. How many times have you said, “I have no energy today” or “I feel great and really feel energized?” We are integrated beings – body, mind, emotion and spirit. When we have a physical problem, it not only causes discomfort but affects us emotionally. Likewise if we’re feeling emotional about something, or are anxious or stressed, our physical body is affected.
Healing Touch techniques – which vary from sweeping movements with the hands over the body to light, gentle touch – help to promote relaxation in the body. When muscles are relaxed, circulation is improved, oxygen levels are increased throughout the body, toxins are released, and healthy cells begin to regenerate, which helps to regulate the immune system. The resulting stability within the immune system affects the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the body’s energy system which then supports self-healing.
Healing Touch has been actively researched since its inception and has been granted research funding from hospitals, private foundations, universities and other supporters of Integrative Medicine, including the National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Documented research indicates that the benefits of Healing Touch go beyond merely treating symptoms and addresses underlying causes of illness.
Healing Touch in a holistic therapy that is used in conjunction with — not in place of — conventional medical care. The goal of Healing Touch is to restore balance and harmony in the energy system which places the recipient in the best position for self-healing. It may also prevent future issues by restoring balance to energy - field disturbances, which could later result in illness if left unbalanced.
