What Happens in a
Healing Touch Session

The first session normally takes 75 minutes, with follow-up appointments lasting about 1 hour. Clients are asked to fill out an initial intake assessment form, which covers some medical and lifestyle questions. The goals are set based on the client’s personal needs.
Generally, the session takes place on a massage table, with the client fully clothed.  (Appointments can be given with clients in wheelchairs, etc.)  An energetic assessment is taken and some additional questions may be asked of the client at that time.  This assessment, together with the information from the intact discussion, dictates which techniques will benefit the client's own healing process for that particular session.

Energy System Balancing and Healing

Healing Touch techniques allow healing of the energy systems of the body by clearing and balancing the biofield.  Healing Touch and other energy-based therapies such as acupressure, Reiki, reflexology, and therapeutic touch use the concept of field theory that states that our being does not stop at the skin. Our body is an open system that experiences input, throughput, and output of energy.  Different energy centers hold our body’s history. 
 

The following are factors that can negatively affect your energy field:

Smoking
Traffic
Arguments
Lack of sleep
Stress at work or home
Sedentary lifestyle
Surgery
Chemotherapy/Radiation
Medications
Stimulants
Junk food
Emotions
Relationships/Support

The Healing Touch Procedure

Suzanne will hand scan above the body to distinguish any imbalances in the energy system and flow.  Based on this understanding, the practitioner uses their hands to influence the human energy field and affect the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the client.  Thereby the time and space is provided for self healing.  Clients find that they can Relax…Restore…Rejuvenate during the process.
Although each appointment is unique, after a session, clients report feeling deep relaxation or desired emotional shifts and increased clarity.   

“Sessions with Suzanne make me feel serene and relaxed.  Since beginning Healing Touch, I’ve noticed a progressive reduction in pain and more restful sleep.” Bridget G.

“After my first session, I felt “complete” and restfulness not experienced through massage or facials.” Mimi D.
