Therapeutic touch in home healthcare: one nurse's experience.
Therapeutic touch is an alternative healing modality that is gaining acceptance. Home healthcare nurses have a unique opportunity to use this nursing intervention in their practice while working in the comfort of the patient's environment. A nurse who not only uses this healing modality in her home care practice, but who now also has her own therapeutic touch private practice, describes how it has affected her patients' and her own well-being.
