Healing Touch Ministry

Healing Touch is a compassionate energy therapy in which practitioners use their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to support or facilitate your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and self-healing. Healing touch uses gentle, light or near-body touch to clear, balance, energize and support the human energy system in an effort to promote healing for the whole person: body, mind and spirit. Healing Touch is a complementary, integrative therapy that can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies. 

The goal of Healing Touch is to restore balance and harmony in the human energy system by creating an optimal environment for the body’s innate tendency for healing to occur.

Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry practitioners believe that all healing comes from God. We pray that we are instruments of God’s healing for the person’s highest good. There are many ways we use our hands to be a healing presence for another. We ask in prayer for God to do the work through us.

Research suggests that Healing Touch greatly benefits those by reducing pain, reducing anxiety, relieving stress and depression, providing support through chemotherapy, reducing the effects of trauma and chronic pain, enhances the recovery from surgery, supports the dying process, and strengthens the immune system. 


Healing Touch is used at Hospice of Cincinnati and in most of the hospitals in Cincinnati as well as some area churches.

At St. John, we are offering Healing Touch Ministry to the parishioners and to our returning veterans and their families on the third Wed. of each month in Favret Hall from 7-9pm. Please contact Pat Springer to schedule a time at 492-8649 or pspringer@cinci.rr.com.
