Healing Touch
Healing Touch is an energy based medical therapy that focuses on balancing the energy system of
the body in an effort to provide wholeness and facilitate the natural healing process for the
individual. The need for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being ranges from the
youngest to the oldest in our midst. Healing Touch is complementary to standard medical treatment.
Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing energy therapy. Gentle touch assists in balancing your
physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Healing Touch works with your energy field
to support your natural ability to heal. It is safe for all ages and works in harmony with standard
medical care.

Healing Touch is used in a wide variety of settings including hospitals, long term care facilities,
private practices, hospices, and spas. Janet Mentgen, RN, founded Healing Touch in 1989 as a
continuing education program for nurses, other health care professionals, and lay persons. Today
Healing Touch has spread internationally and is taught in universities, medical and nursing schools,
and other settings.
Healing Touch does not require or recommend a specific religious orientation or organized religious
belief. One could view Healing Touch as a companion to traditional Western Medicine, not a
substitute. Ideally, the two would walk side-by-side in the common mission of service to all people.
