A Western name for ancient healing practices, Therapeutic Touch is a contemporary interpretation of several ancient techniques. The practitioner uses his or her hands to repattern one's energy, or prana, in the direction of health.

Therapeutic Touch was developed in the early 1970s by Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., RN, a nurse and professor of nursing at New York University, and Dora Kunz, a brilliant clairvoyant.

Stress reduction, boosting the immune system, accelerated healing and pain reduction are among its many applications.

During the course of treatment for malignant mesothelioma, some patients have chosen Therapeutic Touch to reduce pain, anxiety and stress; and to provide support during mesothelioma radiation and chemotherapy. Learn more by reading the mesothelioma treatment guide.

Considered an art form, Jin Shin Jyutsu releases tension and balances one's life energy—unblocking pathways and harmonizing life energy with one's body.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a light, hands-on modality. Barbara begins by listening to the pulses. As treatment continues, she gently holds specific energy points, releasing blocks and easing tension.

According to records stored in Japan's Archives of the Imperial Palace, Jin Shin Jyutsu predates the birth of the Buddha. Translated from Japanese, Jin Shin Jyutsu literally means "art of the Creator through man of knowing and compassion."

Barbara is a certified practitioner of Shin Jin Jyutsu. To learn more about this ancient oriental art, contact Barbara Klein-Robuck.
