Healing Touch - Restoring balance to the energy system and promoting self healing

 

 

Healing Touch is an energy-based therapeutic approach to healing, with the intent to restore balance and harmony to the human energy system. Promoting balance in the energy system influences the body, mind and spirit empowering the individual’s ability to self-heal.

 

Healing Touch was developed by Janet Mentgen, RB, BSN, who started teaching energy-based care in 1980. She studied with many energy healers, creating a curriculum to reflect an eclectic blend of techniques. This certified educational program, taught internationally, is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses’ Association.

 

Healing Touch is now used extensively in the nursing profession in all areas of medical and surgical care, obstetrics, pediatrics, geriatrics, mental and public health and hospice. Healing Touch can be used independently, depending on the health issue.

 

 

Healing Touch can help to promote healing with any condition – from mental stress to emotional trauma to physical disease – by restoring balance to the energy system and promoting self-healing in body, mind and spirit. It is appropriate for anyone, of any age, seeking to improve their health and well-being.
