WHAT: Healing therapies is a person-centered approach to care which utilizes a non-pharmacological means of alleviating pain, promoting relaxation in those who are experiencing anxiety, tension or stress, and supporting those who are dying.

Course participants are taught non-pharmacological methods of pain relief and relaxation including energy techniques.  In order to do this work it is paramount that we take good care of ourselves. The Healing Therapies course encompasses all ways that we nurture ourselves and others through diet, exercise, relationships, and spirituality (prayer and meditation). 

Healing Therapies includes the gentle healing arts of presence, positive affirmations, relaxation response, conscious breathing, aromatherapy, guided imagery, comfort touch, massage, cutaneous stimulation, music, humor and laughter, distraction and prayer and meditation.
