The Subtle Power of Healing Touch

Maggie Burgett Opens Up About Hands Holding Space

on Episode 35 of Love Letters to Our Bodies

There is a kind of care that needs no words.

In Episode 35 of Love Letters to Our Bodies, Gwendolyn Mitchell sits down with Maggie Burgett — Healing Touch practitioner and Board Member at Charlotte Maxwell Clinic — for a quiet, tender conversation about what happens when trained hands hold intentional space for a body that is healing.

Healing Touch is an energy-based therapy that works with the body's natural healing intelligence. For women navigating cancer, it offers something that can be difficult to find in conventional care: presence. Stillness. A moment of being fully witnessed and held.

Maggie brings both clinical grounding and deep compassion to this work. Our conversation explores what Healing Touch actually is, how it supports the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — and why energy-based care belongs in every conversation about integrative cancer support.

If you've ever wondered whether there's more to healing than what happens in a treatment room, this episode is for you.
