Healing Touch for Moms-to-Be and New Moms
A process of harmony and balance occurs when one feels strong and aligned with oneself and with the world in general. Each person has the capacity to go beyond the influences of their environment and to positively influence their individual situation. Healing Touch can help the individual reach this harmonic balance. In 1997, Helen was trained to facilitate hands-on healing and energy center (chakra) balancing by the Colorado Center for Healing Touch, Inc. , now known as the Healing Touch Program of San Antonio, Texas.
Through Healing Touch, a mom-to-be can form a stronger bond or connection with her baby. Communication between mother and child can be enhanced, so that they are in touch with each other and the mom will instinctively and intuitively know what to do during the laboring process to facilitate birth. Anxieties about the birth can also be reduced or eliminated with Healing Touch.
After the birth, Healing Touch for new moms can help reduce or eliminate anxiety about breastfeeding and parenting in general. When the Healing Touch session includes mom and baby, sleeping and feeding patterns for the infant can be improved. Post-partum depression can also be helped with this modality in conjunction with a certified or registered post-partum clinician.
In her Healing Touch practice, Helen also incorporates womb healing—inspired by the Rite of the Womb, a sacred ritual developed by Marcela Lobos and taught to Helen by Viviana Jaramillo, a healer. In the spirit of ancestral connectivity, womb healing is meant to honor and bless the space where many women hold memories, trauma, and their stories.
