Healing Touch

Healing Touch is an energy therapy, developed by Janet Mentgen, RN, BSN, that encompasses a group of non-invasive techniques which utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields. The Healing Touch Practitioner re-aligns the energy flow, re-activating the mind, body, and spirit connection to eliminate blockages to self-healing. This form of energy healing is based on the premise that all healing is basically self-healing and the practitioners objective is to facilitate the clients own healing process. Healing Touch influences the whole person on all levels. While Healing Touch may involves touching the client at the main energy points, most of it does not require physical touch and is done with the client fully clothed.
