What is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch is a holistic energy therapy that emphasizes compassionate, heart-centered care in which the Healing Touch provider and client are equal partners in facilitating health and healing. Healing Touch providers use gentle, non-invasive touch to influence and support the human energy system within and surrounding the body. The goal of Healing Touch is to restore harmony, energy and balance within the human energy system. This goal supports the client's self-healing process of becoming whole in body, mind, emotion and spirit. The Merriam-Webster dictionary lists the primary definition of "Healing" as "to make or become healthy, sound, or whole".
Healing Touch complements conventional health care and is also used in collaboration with other approaches to health and healing. For more information on the Healing Touch Program, visit www.healingtouch.net.
Healing Touch for Animals® (HTA) is privately owned and is not governed by any other organization. Healing Touch for Animals® endorses the Healing Touch Curriculum and the healing work that is facilitated for our human population.
