What Happens in a Healing Touch Session?

The first session involves a consultation as well as the energy session itself.  The practitioner will ask a series of questions about the individual’s physical, mental, and emotional situation, and will answer any questions. The individual will lie fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner gently places their hands slightly above or on the individual. The session generally lasts 60 to 90 minutes. People frequently report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during and after the session.

Due to the effective results seen in recent years, Healing Touch is now part of patient care systems in many hospitals in the United States, including Western Wisconsin and the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area in Minnesota.

 

How did Healing Touch get its Start?

Healing Touch was founded in 1989 by Janet  Mentgen, a Registered Nurse. Janet had used energy-based care in her practice in Colorado since 1980. The techniques were first taught to nurses and massage therapists for their continuing education program. It eventually was offered to other health care professionals and lay persons.

 

The Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry Program has an established core curriculum with five levels of training and a 12 month mentorship, which leads to an advanced certification. Healing Touch has multiple techniques specific to particular conditions. Healing Touch is the only energy therapy endorsed by the American Holistic Nurse's Association.  The Healing Touch curriculum is ever evolving, and supports  students in broadening and deepening their skills as energy healers.
