What is Healing Touch?

Connections to Healing

Body, Mind, Emotions, Spirit

This is a complementary healing method that helps connect the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of the individual, through intuition, intention, and use of touch.

Healing energy is transferred through the healer to the client as they intuitively move their hands over the body and on the body, sensing blocks or imbalances in the energy field around the body and in the energy centers (chakras) within the body. Energy activates the energy centers, and can remove blocks in the energy flow, repair damaged tissue, and achieve balance that can bring healing to the individual. This process is motivated by compassion, focused by clear intention to help another, and draws upon the Universal Energy.

Bettsy went through an extensive 3-year program of training with Healing Touch International to obtain the certification as a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner (C.H.T.P.) This healing modality was founded and developed by Janet Mentgen R.N.,B.S.N., and is practiced in many countries.

Distinct physiologic changes have been validated using these techniques. Healing Touch procedures have been shown to:

Enhance the relaxation response in cardiac problems
Lower diastolic blood pressure
Significantly decrease pain
Decrease anxiety
Enhance wound healing, to name a few

This practice is generally also done with a patient fully clothed and lying on a massage table. Bettsy uses some of these procedures to enhance her healing sessions.

A session generally lasts about 60-75 minutes.
