What You Can Expect

Healing Touch facilitates a deep sense of calm and relaxation as well as overall and specific responses for body-mind-spirit healing. You may feel nurtured and energized. A Healing Touch session can be given anywhere, from a chair in a client’s home to the bed in a hospital room.

What is healing touch?

A typical session with Judy

At the first session , we will sit for about 45 minutes, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and fill out an intake form that allows me to get a complete picture of you, body, mind and spirit. The next 30 to 45 minutes is spent with you lying fully clothed on a soft and cozy massage table. There will be gentle music playing and the lights will be dimmed, creating a very peaceful atmosphere. Essential oils will be offered to ease anxiety or pain. I will do an assessment of your energy field and then, together, we will set the intention for your healing that day. I will then decide which techniques to use and will either use light, slow touch on various parts of the body or not use any touch at all, clearing and balancing as needed. Some people fall asleep, some have images, some feel their stomach gurgle—it’s all individual and all okay. Afterwards, when you are ready, you can share anything you experienced during the session. You will go home with a recommendation for other ways to help your healing.

In preparation for the first session

Please fill out the Healing Touch intake form downloaded from the web site and bring it with you along with your insurance information if you are seeing me at the Justin Kukowski Center. Healing Touch is not covered by insurance, but this information is necessary in case you might see another provider there.

The first session

In the first part of the session, we will sit for about 45 minutes, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and go over your intake form, allowing me to get a complete picture of you-- body, mind and spirit. It’s a time to share and talk and get to know each other.

The next 30 to 45 minutes is spent with you lying fully clothed, except for shoes, belts, and eyeglasses, on a soft and cozy massage table. There will be gentle music playing and the lights will be dimmed, creating a very peaceful atmosphere. Essential oils will be offered to ease anxiety or pain. I will do an assessment of your energy field and then, together, we will set the intention for your healing that day.

It is best to not plan anything too strenuous or exciting after your sessions. People often feel very calm and quiet afterwards and prefer to rest or do activities that don’t require a lot of energy.
