Where is Healing Touch Used?
Healing Touch is used in a wide variety of settings including hospitals, long term care facilities, private practices, hospices, and spas.

Today Healing Touch has spread internationally and is taught in universities, medical and nursing schools, and other settings internationally.
What Happens in a Session?
The first session involves a consultantion as well as the energy session itself. The provider will ask a series of questions about the individual's physical, mental, and emotional situation, and will answer any questions. Then the individual will lie fully clothed on a massage table while the provider gently places their hands slightly above or on the individual. The session generally lasts 40 to 60 minutes, and people frequently report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during and after the session. There is a cumulative effect of using Healing Touch over time and regular sessions are recommended."

Our HBB Code of Ethics/Standards of Practice guides us further. In our work, we are active listeners and observers. When beginning a session, we always set the intention for the highest good, with non-attachment to the outcome of the work. As a clear vessel, we allow the energy to flow as needed, honoring the individuals healing pace and respecting the client's beliefs. We are equal partners with the client in the healing process. We see the potential in our clients and ourselves, and aspire to that, creating opportunities for self empowerment.
As healers, we realize that we are the healing environment, wherever we are, be it in a nice office, in a health care setting, at an accident scene, or at home. Our way of being creates safety and trust. We aspire to carry our gentle, healing attributes and remain grounded and centered throughout the day in all our interactions, spreading healing, love and light, restoring wholeness on earth.
We work within our scope of practice, are cautious to do no harm, and work collaboratively within the health care system. We maintain a professional demeanor with appropriate therapeutic boundaries and confidentiality.
A commitment to ongoing learning and self growth, and increasing knowledge regarding the Healing Touch Work increases our resources, which can then be shared with clients As healers, we are on a continuing journey of personal transformation.
