Healing Touch for Animals (HTA) uses specific techniques to integrate the energy body and allow the muscles to relax. HTA techniques grew out of the practice of Healing Touch for humans, which is recognized by the medical community and practiced by nurses and other medical professionals. HTA techniques increase circulation, release endorphins, and deliver oxygen and nutrients into the blood.

Like Reiki, HTA is gentle and noninvasive. The techniques involve hand placements on specific parts of the body corresponding to chakras or energy centers, and are designed to integrate, balance, and clear the energy body.

HTA is designed to enhance the healing process as a complement traditional veterinary care. HTA can assist with injuries, illness, wound healing, behavioral problems, and stress-related issues.
