restoring balance through
healing touch
Facilitate the natural healing process by bringing balance and harmony to your energy system. Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing, heart-centered, energy therapy that uses gentle, intentional, touch and structured hand movements on or near the body to help clear, energize and balance the human biofield (the magnetic energy field around the body) to support physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and one’s inherent ability to heal. It is safe for all ages and works in harmony with standard medical care.
Healing Touch is a National Institutes of Health-classified biofield therapy and nursing intervention developed by Janet Mentgen, RN, BSN. Its standardized, noninvasive techniques may be used to address the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association diagnosis of “Imbalanced Energy Field.”
Healing Touch is used in many environments, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, private practices, hospices, and spas and is taught in universities, medical and nursing schools and other settings internationally.
Healing Touch can be practiced both in-person and from a distance (remotely)

energetic well-being
The human energy system may be viewed as numerous energy fields working in concert to maintain fundamental biological processes. Healing Touch practitioners and their clients believe they are using healing energy to support and enhance an individual’s energetic well-being, which may help support the immune system, calm the mind, reduce perception of pain, and much more.
Research studies supported and funded by hospitals, universities, colleges, professional organizations, private foundations, and by the National Institutes of Health, Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine demonstrate support for Healing Touch as an optional part of integrative care for a number of different health conditions and situations, including:
- Pain
- Cardiovascular concerns
- End-of-life care
- Endocrine/Immune function
- Anxiety and tension
- Side effects from cancer treatments
- Recovery from injury, surgery, medical procedures
Healing Touch may be used along with
conventional medical treatment
“Janet has an innate ability to know what my system needs to bring it back into balance. I would recommend Healing Touch to anyone who wishes to explore alternative modalities that honor the whole person.”
