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/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.
