Healing Touch™

Welcome to the Haelen Center for Healing Touch Program™. 

Healing Touch is a nurturing, compassionate energy therapy. Providers consciously work in a heart-centered and intentional way with a gentle, light or above body touch to enhance, support, and facilitate physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and support the individual’s natural, self-healing ability.

The Haelen Center is also the site for classes in the Healing Touch Program™ and is part of the Healing Touch Network of the East Bay/San Francisco: bringing the Healing Touch to your neighborhood.

The Haelen* Center is presented by the Care Ministry of Hillcrest Congregational Church, UCC, 404 Gregory Lane, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523. No fee is charged. Donations are welcomed.  

*”Haelen” is Old English for “to make whole, hale, hearty’.
