That is an individual and unique choice for you, although it is highly recommended that regular energy treatments are included in any self-care plan as maintenance for creating balanced health and wellness.   If you have an acute condition such as recent surgery or a recent injury, more benefit is derived by a Healing Touch treatment daily or every other day for three to five visits.   If you have a chronic condition, the practitioner will suggest that you be seen once a week for three to five weeks as it sometimes takes up to three visits for there to be a noticeable benefit. return to top What is Healing Touch? Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing energy therapy that helps to restore balance to body, mind, spirit that has been depleted due to stress, illness, injury, grief, medical conditions, surgery or medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. Do you recommend that Healing Touch be used in place of traditional medical care? NO, absolutely not. Healing Touch is a complementary therapy and its purpose is to help maintain wellness and promote health.  It works very well alongside and in conjunction with – not instead of – traditional medical care. Is Healing Touch like getting a massage? Healing Touch is not like a massage.  You can choose to lay down for the energy treatment on a massage table but you stay fully clothed, although you may be asked to remove your shoes.  If you prefer, you can also sit on a chair to receive an energy treatment.  The Healing Touch practitioner uses very light, gentle touch and may also make sweeping movements with her hands near the body without direct contact. return to top What if I do not like to be touched? All the techniques can be done without the practitioner directly touching you and will be just as effective. How does our body respond to energy therapy such as Healing Touch? Energy therapy promotes relaxation. When your body relaxes endorphins are released from the brain which helps the muscles to relax. When the muscles relax circulation is improved and the increased blood flow elevates oxygen levels throughout the body. This in turn allows nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently, enzymes are built to aid digestion, hormones are regulated, and toxins are released from the body. This allows healthy cells to regenerate and promotes a sense of well-being which then supports healing and regulates the immune system. return to top What happens when our energy system is off balance? Think of times when you have been stressed and how it affected your body. You may have felt lethargic or developed headaches, or felt discomfort in other parts of your body or your emotions were all over the place. When our energy system is off balance, stressed and tired, the energy that flows through and around our bodies becomes blocked or congested and we have difficulty coping and our immune system is put under undue stress.   Healing Touch techniques help to relieve that congestion and facilitate the flow of energy. Pain is congested energy. When an individual has pain, the practitioner focuses on removing the energy congestion so that the pain level is reduced and again facilitate the flow of energy so your body can regain some balance from within. return to top Read Customer Reviews
