What is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch, developed by Janet Mentgen RN, BSN, is a type of complementary healing using hands-on and energy-based techniques to balance and align the human energy field. Body, mind, emotion and spirit are touched through this therapeutic process, and each individual is empowered to participate fully in his or her healing journey.
How does Healing Occur?
All healing is basically self-healing. A physician can set two bone fragments in place, but the body itself finally heals the split; the physician simply directs and facilitates the process. Healing Touch is a different and 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, body, spirit connection to eliminate blocks to self-healing.
Practicum Students
Healing Touch is a multi-level program in energy-based therapy that moves from beginning to advanced practice.
After completion of all 5 courses, a person is eligible to apply for certification from Healing Beyond Borders, Inc.
