Will Healing Touch cure my injury/illness?

 

Healing Touch is a Therapy which works toward optimum wellness, for the client's highest good, rather than being a cure for any particular disease. At each session, the practitioner will ask if the client has a particular goal, such as pain relief. Each client's experience and response will vary, from one session to another.   While their initial goal may be achieved, the client may also or instead find they experience a benefit in one of the other dimensions of wellness (e.g. anxiety relief instead of pain relief).
