Touch of Healing is a clinic of complementary medicine offering clinical remedial bodywork therapies and holistic treatments.

The purpose of complementary medicine is to address a persons needs as a whole. At Touch Of Healing health is viewed in terms of physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing. When one presents with physical pain it may be a manifestation of any one or a number of issues. The body’s systems are all connected through fluid, neural networks and connective tissue, so imbalance in one place can translate elsewhere. Addressing the root cause of the problem rather than the symptoms is the potential route to freedom from pain and chronic illness.
