Healing Touch (HT) is recognized by NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) as an energy medicine or biofield therapy. Healing Touch involves several techniques to balance the human energy field to help promote healing. It is a safe and non-invasive therapy that complements traditional, standard care. The HT volunteer uses a compassionate, heart-centered approach and works above or gently on the recipient’s body to restore balance on a  physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level. Several benefits have been reported including decreased anxiety, pain, and depression, and increased relaxation and a sense of well-being. Sessions will be held on the 1st Tuesday and 3rd Thursday of each month from 6-8 pm at the Education Center Building at The Center for Hospice & Palliative Care.
