-
Healing Touch is a gentle, heart-centered energy therapy that uses light touch or the practitioner’s hands near the body to support physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. It works with your body’s natural energy system to encourage balance, relaxation, and the body’s innate ability to heal.
-
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes deep relaxation and supports the body’s natural healing processes. During a Reiki session, universal life energy is gently channeled to help restore energetic balance and encourage a sense of peace and well-being.
-
Both Healing Touch and Reiki work with the body’s energy system to promote healing and relaxation. Reiki follows a traditional Japanese practice of channeling universal life energy, while Healing Touch incorporates a broader variety of evidence-informed techniques to assess and balance the human energy system. Depending on your needs, I may recommend one modality or thoughtfully integrate both during your session.
