What is Healing Touch and how can it help me?
Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing energy therapy. Gentle touch is used to support your natural ability to heal. The purpose of Healing Touch is to balance, energize, and open the flow of healing energy throughout the body’s energy fields.

Healing Touch addresses all aspects of your being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Whether you are experiencing pain, illness, anxiety or major life changes, Healing Touch can gently assist you in regaining a state of balance and clarity.

What benefits can I expect from Healing Touch work?
A Healing Touch treatment induces deep relaxation and increases the flow of life-force energy through the body, both of which facilitate self-healing on all levels. Results are very individual; however, the following benefits have been documented in a number of studies over the past decade:

* Reduced stress, depression and anxiety levels
* Significant pain relief
* Accelerated wound healing
* Strengthened immune response
* Symptom relief from cancer treatments

Child receiving Healing TouchDoes Healing Touch work for children?
Yes! Children tend to be much more energetically open than adults and respond very quickly to Healing Touch and other energy therapies. Healing Touch is great to use with children because it is so gentle, noninvasive, and free from side effects.

Is Healing Touch a form of alternative medicine?
Healing Touch is a complementary therapy that works very well in conjunction with other forms of care and is not intended to replace regular medical care. It is recommended that you inform your physician of your Healing Touch treatments.

Does insurance cover Healing Touch?
A few insurance companies are beginning to cover Healing Touch treatments. I can provide you with a Statement of Service form that you may submit to your insurance company, but I do not directly bill insurance. Please submit your claims even if you don’t believe your insurance company will pay—insurers will eventually respond to consumer demand, but only if they are made aware.

What should I expect to happen at my first Healing Touch session?
The session is held in a private room that is set up to provide a quiet, peaceful, restorative atmosphere. A confidential interview is used to assess the client’s overall wellbeing and reasons for seeking treatment and to set goals for treatment sessions. The client remains fully clothed throughout the session, although shoes and eyewear are usually removed for greater comfort. During the treatment, the client lies on a massage table and may be covered with a blanket for warmth if desired. Soft, meditative music and low lighting are added to facilitate relaxation. Light touch (or hands slightly above the body) is used to increase the flow of energy and balance the energy centers. Sometimes the client may be led through a guided meditation or visualization exercise. After the treatment is over, a short interview completes the session. The first session lasts approximately 75 minutes; subsequent sessions are one hour.

Do I need to prepare for my sessions in any way?
It is helpful for you to come prepared with some thoughts on what you would like to focus on. I will assist you in formulating a goal or healing intention for the session based on your needs and will honor your decisions. Goals might look something like: “I feel complete comfort in my lower back” or “My body heals quickly and completely after this surgery” or “I see my choices clearly and make decisions that are for my highest good” and are stated in the positive. Also, setting the intention to be open to receiving the healing benefits of the session will help to maximize your experience.

How can I continue my healing between sessions?
Often, relevant thoughts or ideas will come to you during a session. Write these insights down for later contemplation or journaling. Be willing to incorporate these insights into your life. I will also make recommendations or referrals that I feel will support your healing process.

How many sessions will I need?
Healing is a very individual process—each person will have different needs. Many people experience significant shifts and relief from pain, anxiety or stress from their first Healing Touch session. Those who are new to energy work or are dealing with a chronic condition may need several sessions within 1 to 2 weeks (or longer) in order to stabilize their energy field. Once this is accomplished, regular monthly sessions can help you maintain balance and make continual progress in your self-healing process.

How do you reconcile Healing Touch work with religious beliefs?
Healing Touch does not require or endorse any particular religious belief system. It is a heart-centered modality—meaning that the practitioner flows energy to the client from a place of unconditional love with intention set for the highest good of the client. The source of all healing resides within each individual and with our connection to the Divine. Healing Touch acknowledges that a Higher Power exists and affirms this connection. I believe that this is compatible with all major religious traditions.

Some of the techniques and methods used in Healing Touch may be unfamiliar to you and you may wonder “where it’s coming from.” Healing Touch pulls from many healing traditions, some of which have been used for thousands of years. Our Western society is just beginning to understand and accept the idea that we are energetic beings—something that is taken for granted in Eastern medical traditions.
