Essential oils

Essential oils come from plants. They have been used for thousands of years to help with many symptoms. Essential oils are applied to a cotton ball and breathed in. These oils can ease pain, anxiety, nausea and sleeping problems. This therapy is complimentary for hospitalized patients, patients in the infusion room and patients before and after surgery.

Healing touch

Healing touch uses gentle touch to balance your body, mind, spirit and emotions. It works with your energy field to support your natural ability to heal. It may relieve stress, anxiety, depression, pain, nausea and sleeping problems. The practitioner may gently touch your body or will hold their 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.

Healing touch is for people of all ages at all levels of health, including those who have had or will have surgery, as well as those who need support at the end of life. This therapy is free for patients before and after surgery, who are hospitalized or are in the infusion room.
