The Healing Touch ProgramTM
The Healing Touch ProgramTM is endorsed by
the American Holistic Nurses' Association and was founded by Janet Mentgen, BSN,
RN, HNC, CHTP/I. Janet had practiced energy based healthcare since 1980 and was
honored as the nurse of the year by the American Holistic Nurses' Association
for her work in touch therapy.
The Healing Touch ProgramTM (HTP) is an
energy approach to healing and uses specific, non-invasive, hands-on/off
techniques to clear and balance the human energy field. HTP compliments
conventional health care by using the client's own body's ability to self-heal
as a result of the heart-centered connection established by the practitioner.
Some examples by which Healing Touch can benefit overall health are: decreasing
stress, supporting the immune system, increasing mobility after surgery, pain
relief and accelerated recovery after surgery. Not only is HTP used extensively
in the nursing profession, but hospitals, nursing care facilities and hospices
across the world are beginning to recognize the effects of HTP and are actually
prescribing the sessions to their patients.
Healing Touch is also a philosophy. It is viewed as a sacred, caring, healing
art. It is believed that the promotion of healing by a practitioner is based
solely on the connection that the practitioner has with the client and the
practitioner's intent to heal.
Studying Healing Touch has been a spiritual journey for me and has enhanced my
ability to present energy work to you. I am a Level 1 student and intend to
continue my training because the techniques are so wonderful.
HTP is not a religion and does not require and religious beliefs of it's
practitioners or clients.
