Who Are We?

Healing Touch St. Louis is a heart-centered community of healers, located in the St. Louis area, serving Missouri and Illinois. In September of 1996 when the first Healing Touch class was held in St. Louis, a commitment was made to provide not just classes but to pool resources and build community.

HTSL developed into a not-for-profit organization in 1999 and is served by a Board of Directors, Officers and support committees. Our membership participates by actively serving in a variety of these positions. HTSL serves students through all 5 levels of certification classes and provides practice sessions at multiple times and locations throughout the area. We support our practitioners through development and enrichment classes, support research projects, listings, networking and outreach opportunities. In 2004 we celebrated reaching our goal of completing charter membership, and in 2006 we established an office at 10000 Watson Road in St. Louis, Missouri. We look forward to a bright future of continued growth .

What is Healing Touch?

Healing Touch is an energy therapy that encompasses a group of non-invasive techniques that utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields. The Healing Touch educational program was developed by Janet Mentgen, RN, BSN utilizing a nursing continuing education format. The American Holistic Nurses' Association and Healing Touch International endorse the Healing Touch educational program provided by Healing Touch St. Louis. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) identifies an Energy Field Disturbance as a disruption in the flow of energy surrounding a person's being that results in a disharmony of the body, mind, and/or spirit. Healing Touch interventions may be used to restore, energize, and balance an energy field disturbance.
