The first session involves a consultation in addition to the session.  The provider will ask a series of questions about your physical, mental, and emotional situation, and will answer questions about Healing Touch.  Then you lay fully clothed on a massage table while the provider gently places his or her hands slightly above or on the body.  The session generally lasts 40 to 60 minutes, and people frequently report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during and after the session.  Because there may be a cumulative effect of using Healing Touch over time, regular sessions are recommended.
