Try looking on the Healing Touch International website. I believe there are a list of practicioners who practice it. Healing Touch International certifies nurses in this extensive training program to practice energy healing. Its to be used in conjunction with whatever your doctor prescribes....it helps the process of recovery. Its biofield energy healing. Similar to Reiki, and also uses same chakra systems and meridians that Acupuncture works with.

My hospital has an Integrative Medicine Program where we have acupuncturists, Healing Touch practicioners, massage therapists, etc. So a patient can request a treatment while they are in the hospital from those whose job is specifically just to do that....or if their nurses is going through the various levels of training, their nurse can give a treatment. My ICU has 5 nurses currently training for Healing Touch....I've seen some pretty amazing results and as a patient myself....when you have a 10/10 icepick headache, and someone starts doing Healing Touch on you and drops your pain down to a 2 or even a 0....you are a believer.

Try this link to look for one in your area. Here in California, i saw the list has hundreds of practitioners. Oh wait, just saw you are in DC....it lists 2 healing touch practitioners in your area, one is a nurse as well. Good luck!
