What should I expect during a Healing Touch Energy Work session?
During your initial visit we will discuss your specific health concerns, your health history, your goals for wellness and address any questions you may have. You will be asked to sign a consent to treatment form. Energy work can be done laying down on a massage table or sitting in a comfortable chair. Depending on your preferences and comfort level there will be light touch or no touch on various parts of the body. Please feel free to express honestly how you would like to be touched as it is important to feel comfortable and safe. A typical session lasts from 45-60 minutes. Clients often fall asleep but discussion and questions during the session are also encouraged. Each and every session is a unique experience.
What if I can’t lie down?
It is important to be comfortable. A session can be performed with the client in a chair, or lying on their back, side or stomach on the table. Clients are encouraged to shift their positions during the session if they become uncomfortable during the sessio
Can my child receive Energy Work?
Yes! Energy Work may be used with individuals of all ages and stages of health and illness. During a session with a child under 18 I require that a parent or guardian stay in the room.
Do I take off my clothes?
No. Clients remain completely clothed throughout the entire session and often enjoy a blanket to aid in a comfortable experience.
What does it feel like?
Some clients sense the movement of energy during the session and others don’t. Movement of energy can be subtle or obvious. For most people it is deeply relaxing and soothing.
What if I don’t want to be touched? How much touching is there?
Healing Touch Energy Work can be performed completely off the body without any physical touch or with very light touch. Please feel free to express your comfort level with being touched. Some clients have specific areas in which they are sensitive but don’t mind touch in others. This is a personal and important choice for all clients to feel free to express.
Is Energy Work related to a specific religion?
Healing Touch Energy Work techniques are based upon healing arts concepts and holistic nursing principles which acknowledge the spiritual dimensions of human life. No specific religious or spiritual belief is promoted or practiced. I invite all clients to consider how their own spiritual beliefs and practices can be incorporated into their personal healing journey.
