Q: How young of a child can these techniques be used on?
A:Â Because Healing Touch techniques are so gentle, and can do no harm, there is no age limit. Healing Touch can even work on babies still in the womb.
Q: Can Healing Touch be done long-distance?
A:Â Â Yes, because energy is not limited by time or distance, Healing Touch works just as powerfully whether working with someone one-on-one or at a distance.
Q: How long does a treatment/session last?
A:Â A Healing Touch session can run from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the client’s needs.
Q: Do I have to undress to receive a session?
A:Â No, you do not need to undress to receive a session.
Q: Is Healing Touch like getting a massage?
A:Â The only way Healing Touch is like massage is that you lie on a massage table for the treatment, if you choose. You can also sit on a chair to receive a treatment. Either way, you stay fully clothed but may be asked to remove your shoes.
With massage, muscles are manipulated and pressure is applied. When doing Healing Touch the practitioner uses very light, gentle touch and/or makes sweeping movements with his/her hands near the body.
Q: What if I do not like to be touched?
A:Â Â All the techniques can be done without the practitioner directly touching you and will be just as effective.
