The gift of Healing
Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing Energy Healing modality that uses gentle touch to assist in balancing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is safe for all ages and works in harmony with, is complementary to, and may be integrated with standard medical care.
Healing Touch uses the gift of touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the flow from the energy field to the physical body. The non-invasive techniques employ the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields, thus affecting physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. It is based on a heart-centered, caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client’s health and healing.
The Healing Touch curriculum was developed by Janet Mentgen, BSN, RN, as an energy therapy continuing education program for nurses with the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) in 1989. Since then, it has expanded and become a board-certified program that is taught internationally.
Education and credentialing in Healing Touch is provided by Healing Touch International, Inc., a non-profit organization with a mission of dedicated service to the public trust. Healing Touch Practitioners adhere to an International Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.

We start with communication. The first session involves a confidential consultation in addition to the Healing Touch session. I will visit with you and will ask a series of questions about your physical, mental, and emotional situation, and will answer questions about Healing Touch. The more that we can take a look at your current situation and your past life events, the better I am able to help you. Often times, your current state of wellness (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) is tied to unresolved experiences in your past that are still held by your physical body. By going into detail during our consultation, I glean insights about how we will proceed in our sessions.
Then we start the session. I start each session based on the goals that we mutually establish during each intake conversation. You will be either seated, or lying on a massage table – depending on the situation.
