Healing Touch
Among the many offerings, the Healing Touch Team will play a central role, offering a complementary, gentle biofield energy therapy designed to restore balance and foster healing.
What Is Wellness Day?
Wellness Day at the Bruce Museum runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with special features including a sensory-friendly morning, gallery explorations with a music therapist, open-level yoga for adults and families, therapeutic coloring sessions, and more. The event is free with standard museum admission. For those under 18, admission is free.
Healing Touch: What It Is & How to Participate
The Healing Touch Team consists of board-certified practitioners who blend modalities such as biofield therapy, mindfulness, sound healing, life coaching, education, psychology, and nursing. Their guiding principle: use non-invasive, gentle touch to help balance the energy field of the body — promoting restoration, relaxation, and overall wellness.
Visitors can sign up in advance for 20-minute Healing Touch sessions during Wellness Day. These sessions offer an opportunity to experience this complementary therapy in a calm, supportive environment. To reserve a time slot, attendees select “Other times” on the booking page.
Why Healing Touch Matters
In times of stress, many people are turning toward holistic and gentle therapies that address not just the physical but the emotional and energetic selves. Healing Touch aims to:
• Reduce feelings of anxiety and tension
• Support overall health and emotional equilibrium
• Encourage relaxation and rest, both for body and mind
• Complement other wellness practices (yoga, creative arts, etc.)
What to Expect
If you’re planning to try a Healing Touch session, here’s a helpful checklist:
• Arrive a few minutes before your slot to check in and settle in.
• Wear comfortable, loose clothing.
• Be open to the experience of quiet energy work — there is no pressure, no invasive procedure, just gentle touch.
• Combine with other Wellness Day offerings: perhaps a yoga session or gallery walk to round out the day.
