Healing Touch and Fertility: A Case Report

Abstract

Fertility and conception have been a concern through the ages. This case report documents the use of healing touch (HT), a noninvasive energy-field therapy, with the intent to facilitate conception and a healthy pregnancy. After 18 months of being unsuccessful in conceiving, a 40-year-old female sought HT to enhance the possibility of conceiving naturally. She had normal menstrual cycles, and both she and her husband had normal fertility tests. The client conceived after several months of HT therapy, which also included stimulating reflexology points on the ankle designed to affect the uterus and ovaries and encouraging positive affirmations. HT therapy continued throughout a trouble-free pregnancy and during birth.The client gave birth to a healthy baby boy without the use of pain-relieving medications. Perinatal educators and other health-care practitioners who work with women having difficulty conceiving or experiencing difficult pregnancies may wish to consider recommending the use of HT and/or other complementary therapies with the goal of fostering more positive reproductive outcomes.

Energy: A Concept Analysis

“…Nurses utilized a wide range of interventions, both physical and spiritual, to ensure care for all aspects of the human being. Kissinger and Kaczmarek [17] discussed the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), specifically healing touch, to aid patients with fertility problems. Healing touch was a noninvasive energy-based therapy that allowed total healing of the human being.…”

“…The healthcare provider manipulated the energy field of a human being to restore physical, mental, and spiritual balance. Kissinger and Kaczmarek [17] described their experience utilizing healing touch to help a woman become pregnant. The authors concluded healing touch promoted relaxation, confidence, and ultimately healing of the woman's disrupted energy fields.…”

Evidence-based Formulation of Three Hypotheses of Holistic Human Metaphysics

“…In 2006, a case report was published regarding the association of fertility and conception with Chakra centres (Kissinger and Kaczmarek 2006). The authors of that report observed that reconfigurations of the bio-energy fields existing in and around the human body facilitate conception (Kissinger and Kaczmarek 2006).…”

“…In 2006, a case report was published regarding the association of fertility and conception with Chakra centres (Kissinger and Kaczmarek 2006). The authors of that report observed that reconfigurations of the bio-energy fields existing in and around the human body facilitate conception (Kissinger and Kaczmarek 2006). Though that report did not list a sufficient number of cases, the finding is supported by the 'dissipative adaptation' theory, in which a particular driving environment is necessary for the manifestation of physical objects (England 2015).…”
