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/boy/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.

Did You Know?

That in 1995, 41% of the population of the United States used one or more types of complementary therapy.

That there are teams of medical doctors and nurses combining medical skills with hands-on and energy techniques in most major cities in the United States.

That documented studies have shown that with hands-on work:

• Surgical wounds and sutures heal faster
• Burns clear up significantly sooner
• Circulation and breathing improve post surgically
• Premature infants have enhanced growth rate
• Most people feel relaxed; some may feel more energetic after energy work
