I would definitely talk more with your T about this -- ask what it is called, what sort of school of therapy she uses, etc. so that you can get all the information you need to make your decision.

In the past I've looked into it myself, and the best information I found is:
To Touch or Not to Touch: Exploring the Myth of Prohibition of Touch in Psychotherapy

The article references several schools of therapy than can use touch:
Body psychotherapies include schools, such as Reichain (Reich, 1972) and its numerous branches, Bioenergetics (Lowen, 1976), Somatic (Caldwell, 1997) or Hakomi (Kurtz, 1990). These approaches focus on harnessing the healing power of touch. There are numerous other psychotherapeutic orientations that have embraced touch. These orientations formalized the use of touch in therapy as an adjunct to verbal therapy. They include Gestalt therapy (Perls, 1973), several variations of humanistic psychology (Rogers, 1970) and group therapy (Edwards, 1984). They also include some parts of feminist, child, family therapy and dance and movement therapy (Smith, et. al, 1998; Satir, 1972)

It is a big article, but it is worth at least skimming. Of particular interest might be the list of 'Types of Touch in Psychotherapy', part way down the page.

What Kiya is referring to (I think) is called 'Touch Therapy', and is somewhat controversial.

Hope that helps
