Therapeutic Touch, a contemporary interpretation of several ancient healing practices, is a consciously directed process of energy exchange during which practitiioners use their hands as focus for facilitating healing. Dolores Krieger, PH. D. R.N. and her colleague Dora Kunz first brought this technique to our attention as a modern healing method, in 1972.

Over thirty doctoral & postdoctoral disertations as well as master thesis have been done on Therapuetic Touch. In early 1994, Therapuetic Touch was the recipient of a research grant awarded to alternative therapies by the United States National Institute of Health, Washington, D.C. Research and clinical experiece have shown effectiveness in:

• Promotion of relaxation and eliciting the Relaxation Response.
• Reduction of anxiety
• Changing the patient's perception of pain.
• Facilitating the body's natural restorative processes.
