For clients who request it, I incorporate Therapeutic Touch into my sessions. It can be also be a stand-alone treatment; done in person or virtually.
In Therapeutic Touch, which actually involves very little direct contact with your body, I use my hands to assess and balance the energy field surrounding you. This promotes your natural ability to heal. Therapeutic Touch may also be a virtual stand-alone service.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The most successful distance session will happen when both the practitioner and the client are focused on the healing process. For Therapeutic Touch incorporated into a Shiatsu session, the client is usually sitting in a chair. In general, the explanation below addresses TT sessions whether in person or virtual. Therefore an appointment will be scheduled and begin with a phone interview/evaluation prior to treatment.
PREPARE
For virtual appointments, please create a quiet location where you can lie down or sit comfortably during the treatment. Turn off electronic devices, use the restroom, tell other folks around that you have a half-hour appointment and please do not disturb. You will call me at our scheduled time for the telehealth appointment. We will speak for a few minutes about you and your health. I will then lead you in a short relaxation and breathing sequence. You will be instructed to focus on your breath. Otherwise, quieting the mind, observing internally and simply being open to receiving treatment is ideal.
For in-person sessions, the client is usually sitting in a chair.
TREATMENT
I will tell you when we are beginning Therapeutic Touch. You will place you phone nearby. The Therapeutic Touch treatment will last approximately 15 minutes.
During the treatment just relax, breath and be aware of the various sensations as the energy moves throughout your body. Some of these sensations may include tingling, coolness, warmth, vibration, twitching, and the general release of tension. Some people may see colors.
Most clients are completely relaxed during and after Therapeutic Touch. Many times clients will feel increased energy afterward or the day after. Some clients become aware of different emotions.
For virtual sessions, when I am finished I will call you back to the phone. We will take a few minutes to talk about the treatment.
For in-person, when the session is finished, we will have rest time or transit to the mat for Shiatsu.
PROCEDURE
Therapeutic Touch may be done in-person or virtual. If it is incorporated into a full Shiatsu session, there is no additional fee.
Please Contact Me to schedule a virtual session, half an hour in length, for $20.
You may pay by check or online.
