Therapeutic Touch

Therapeutic Touch is based on ancient energy-healing methods. Practitioners, primarily nurses, are trained to feel or sense energy imbalances in the patient and to use "laying on" of hands to disperse blocks and channel healing forces to the patient's body.

The therapist uses a light touch or holds the hand above the body, with the client generally seated. The therapist uses meditation to center and strengthen the connection to the patient's energy system.

Therapeutic Touch has been applied in an assortment of medical situations, including the care of premature infants and emergency room patients. It is known to induce a state of relaxation within minutes.

Therapeutic Touch is considered safe because of its gentle, non-invasive approach.
