What is Healing Touch?
HEALING TOUCH
Healing Touch is a multi level program in energy based therapy that moves from beginning to advanced practice. After completion of the one year mentorship and final course, a person is eligible to apply for certification from Healing Touch International.
Healing Touch (HT) is an energy based therapeutic approach to healing and uses touch to influence the energy system thus affecting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and healing.
The goal in HT is to restore harmony and balance in the energy system which facilitates the person to self heal. HT is used extensively in the nursing profession; all levels of nursing form medical/surgical care, psychiatric, public health, hospice, pediatrics to geriatric care can benefit using Healing Touch.
The Healing Touch practitioner integrates this knowledge with the professional background he/she brings to Healing Touch. Healing Touch is a holistic energetic approach to health and healing.
The Healing Touch program was founded and developed by Janet Mentgen, R.N., B.S.N. HT was first offered as a pilot project at the University of Tennessee and in Gainsville, Florida in 1989. It became a certificate program on the AHNA (American Holistic Nurses Association) in 1990. HT is currently offered world wide.
