Healing Touch may relieve stress, anxiety, depression, pain, nausea and problems sleeping. The Healing Touch practitioner may gently touch your body or will hold his or her hands slightly over and above your body. You can receive this therapy while in a hospital bed, lying on a massage table or sitting in a chair fully clothed. Treatment times vary from 30 to 60 minutes.

The therapist will choose different massage techniques to address and treat each person's needs.
