Jewell Touch Natural Therapies

Healing Touch

I am currently a student with the Australian Foundation for Healing Touch and have completed Levels 1-4 of a 5 level practitioner course.

This therapy was originally developed by an American nurse, Janet Mentgen RN, BSN, based on her own experience in energy-based care. She also took note of other energy-based practitioners' findings and experience. She was honoured by the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) for her work in energy-based therapy in 1988.

Jewell Touch sessions

I can design a full Healing Touch session specific to your needs and often incorporate various energy techniques within my other sessions. Treatments are carried out while you’re fully clothed, either lying down or sitting in a chair. Light touch on and off the body is used to balance, clear and energise your system. As part of a reflexology or massage session, you would be clothed accordingly.

Some of the benefits of Healing Touch are:

• Reducing pain, including headaches
• Accelerating wound healing
• Supporting cancer/palliative care
• Enhancing recovery from surgery
• Reducing anxiety and stress
• Assisting with managing grief and depression

• promoting resilience in health care providers and carers

Healing Touch is currently used in the following settings:
