"Healing Touch" Energy Medicine

Healing Touch is an Energy based therapy in which therapists use their hands with intention to promote deep relaxation and calmness which in turn allows the body’s own natural immune system to take over and promote healing. This is not a curative but a complement to medical care. Founded in 1989 in Colorado by registered Nurse Janet Mentgen, today it is offered world wide.
