Healing Touch is now being offered at UNMCs’ Center for Healthy Living!
What Healing Touch Is and Is Not:
Healing Touch is a different, and often complementary, mode of facilitating the healing process, but functions from an energy perspective rather than only a physical one. The Healing Touch Practitioner re-aligns the energy flow, re-activating the mind/body/spirit connection to eliminate blockages to self-healing.
Healing Touch is not:
- a substitute for regular medical checkups from your doctor
- a substitute for medical care from your doctor
- a substitute for diagnosis from you doctor
- the same as massage therapy
The Goal: Is to restore harmony and balance in the energy system to help the person heal him/herself.
Benefits: Healing touch is noninvasive and may facilitate relaxation, reducing stress which may help in reducing pain and other stress-related conditions.
