The healing traditions of many cultures, as well as Dr. Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring and Science of Caring, emphasize the importance of human touch, compassion, healing through intention, and the subtle energy systems that flow through and around the human body. Many of these traditions stress that balancing these energy fields can assist the body, mind, and spirit in moving towards and maintaining peace and wellness. In addition to private practice, this non-invasive care is provided in many hospital and research settings to support individuals through the health care continuum.
What’s a Session Like?
During a session, we begin with a discussion of the client’s health history, and current physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual wellbeing. I will assess the client’s fully clothed body energetically, using my hands and a pendulum (diagnostic tool), and choose a Healing Touch technique appropriate for the client’s needs, along with use of essential oils if necessary and with clients permission. We begin with guided breathing and mediation to relax the physical body and set our intention for the session. Energy therapy techniques are then chosen by the practitioner and are given through very light touch on or hands above the body working with the natural energy centers and fields in and around the body. The client may feel emotion, sensations of moving energy, deep relaxation, temperature changes, feelings of being supported and comforted, have visions of images and colors, hear sounds, experience smell, have an emotional release, and/or body release, through twitching and/or movement, or the client may not feel anything during the session. Closing with a post energetic assessment, and a discussion of experience and any noted changes physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Most clients notice and feel deep relaxation, sense of peace and calmness, clarity, relief of symptoms (to name a few). This therapy session is 75-90 minutes. Though the work continues to process up to a few days after, clients may notice changes immediately or gradually.
