What We Offer
Touchstone has investigated innovative ways to serve individuals, and we now provide a number of integrative services on a limited basis.
In our experience, integrative services create positive and sustainable effects, reducing symptoms that individuals might experience as a result of acute stress, such as sleep disturbances, depression, agitation, and anxiety. Our current consumers tell us they experience feelings of relaxation, positive shifts in mood, and an increased sense of physical well-being after receiving our integrative services:
- Healing Touch is a complementary medicine in which practitioners develop the capacity to sense a person’s energy field. A person’s energy can become congested, unbalanced, or overactive due to stress, disease, or just daily living. The practitioner uses these fields to assess and treat a person therapeutically, with the goal of restoring natural physical, emotional, and mental health.
- In Chinese medicine, healers have used Acupuncture for at least three-thousand years. Grounded in theories regarding the flow of Chi, a subtle energy that moves throughout the body and through all living things, practitioners of Chinese medicine believe that the state of Chi affects our health and well-being. When Chi is out-of-balance, dis-ease (disease) results. Acupuncture allows Chi to flow more harmoniously, thus correcting the imbalance. To adjust Chi, practitioners insert very fine needles into specific points on the body.
- Somatic Resourcing teaches the connection between mind and body and ways to use the body as a resource for mindfulness, relaxation, grounding, and integrating experiences. Practitioners use it to address trauma, employing the body and its sensations as an access route and a holistic way of integrating experiences and recovering from trauma.
