What Is Therapeutic Touch?
Co-created by nursing professor Dolores Krieger and intuitive healer Dora Kunz, Therapeutic Touch (TT) offers a contemporary, secular evolution of ancient laying-on-of-hands traditions. While rooted in time-honored healing principles, it is notably grounded in a modern, evidence-informed framework. Every session is customized to the individual, making it a deeply personal and responsive form of care.
How Therapeutic Touch Works
The foundational technique involves the practitioner moving their hands two to six inches above the client’s body. By carefully scanning the biofield — the energy field that surrounds and permeates the physical body — the practitioner can detect areas of energetic congestion or imbalance. As a result, targeted attention is applied to clear those areas and restore the body’s natural state of equilibrium.
Unlike many hands-on therapies, Therapeutic Touch requires no physical pressure or manipulation. Instead, it works subtly and gently, making it particularly well suited for clients who are sensitive, recovering from injury, or simply prefer a lighter approach to healing. According to the Therapeutic Touch International Association, this modality has been practiced in clinical and holistic settings worldwide for decades.
Benefits of Therapeutic Touch
Clients who receive Therapeutic Touch regularly report a wide range of benefits, including:
- Deep relaxation and reduced stress
- Relief from chronic pain and physical tension
- Faster recovery from illness or injury
- Improved emotional balance and mental clarity
- A heightened sense of overall wellbeing
Furthermore, Therapeutic Touch complements other healing modalities naturally. Many of David’s clients combine it with Reiki, Quantum Touch, or therapeutic massage for a more complete and integrated healing experience.
