Healing Touch Therapy

What is Healing Touch Therapy?

Healing touch therapy is a gentle energy-based therapy that emphasizes heart-centered care and compassionate healing intention. The technique uses gentle, non-invasive touch to influence and restore harmony, energy, and balance to the mind, body and spirit. It is based on the premise that the human body is surrounded by an energy field and contains energy centers that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. By performing healing touch therapy, the body’s energy levels become smooth and balanced. Many times, those receiving this therapy fall into a deep state of calm and fall asleep.
