What can you expect in a Healing Touch session?
The practitioner will discuss your areas of concern with you, and you will both agree on your goals for the session.
You remain fully clothed during the session, removing only shoes and belts. You may be covered with a blanket if required.
Based on the goals set and an assessment of your energy field, the practitioner will then apply a variety of techniques to your energy field, either by laying her hands on your body or, if you prefer not to be touched, her hands will move in the energy field above your body.
The treatment may last from 45 minutes to an hour. Allow an additional 15 minutes to discuss your experience.
