Frequently Asked Questions
About Energy Medicine Healing:
Energy Medicine Healing Touch is an energy therapy in which practitioners consciously use their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way for the highest good of the client (www.HealingTouch.com).
Energy therapy has been explored by many disciplines including philosophy, physics, nursing and medicine. Each champion a central belief. There is a force or entity ‘greater than’ us –whether you perceive it as the Divine, God, Mother Nature or the Great Spirit. This force is the wellspring of power and wisdom that aligns with us during the healing process (Janna Moll, 2018).
Energetics Boutique acknowledges that pure Divine love is life’s creator and most powerful healer and visualizes a client to be Human-Divine. The energetic framework of Universal Love (Watson, Jean, 2025) undergirds healing within all its integrated modalities. Energetics Boutique was founded to promote health and healing of self and others; to transform the body’s cellular memories related to trauma, illness, chronic stress, and lingering disappointments into meaningful, flowing, energetic pathways for living with ease, toward one’s human-divine purpose on this earth.
Energy Medicine Healing is a holistic practice that activates the body’s subtle energy system to release the blockages which lead to dis-ease and ultimately, if untreated—to disease. By breaking down the energetic blocks held, whether subtle or profound, the body’s inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated. Change to the congested energy is a movement toward wholeness and wellness. These energetics of the body are assessed and recorded for each Energy Medicine Healing Touch treatment session.
Energy Medicine Research has been conducted in a wide variety of settings exploring issues such as: Stress reduction, relaxation response, cancer treatment and care, cardio-vascular disease, death and dying, endocrine/immune function, pain reduction and management, patient satisfaction and experience, post operative recover, counseling/psychotherapy, wellness and prevention as well as spiritual/personal growth.
A dialogue of what constitutes adequate evidence is ongoing between supporters of traditional research criteria and that of an emerging science of energy healing (ACEP, 2024). Physical and biochemical indices of the body are known and accepted within a holistic view. However, Energy Medicine Healing Touch includes the virtual (subtle, invisible) energetics which are not yet measurable in traditional ways.
Quantum and Qualia Physics are in the process of providing laws to support the virtual, the subtle and the invisible.
From a scientific perspective, experts now say:
In a few decades, scientists have gone from a conviction that there is no such things as energy fields in and around the human body to an absolute certainty that they exists (Oschman, James, 2004, Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis)

Energy Medicine Healing Touch is frequently used for the following purposes:
-To free the body of pain, anxiety and stress
-to allow for ease in letting go of that which is no longer needed
-To support the body’s natural healing process and well being
-To move beyond relaxation of body to soul-awakened engagement with others in a wider community.
Clients have reported the following benefits from sessions:
-Being lighter and ready to stand tall “like a mountain”
-Feeling “dark mists” being lifted and hope shining through
-Remembering positive and negative moments in life with a sense of peace
-Feeling more relaxed, balanced, and ready to move on.
Additional reasons that people receive Energy Medicine Healing Touch sessions:
-To have a guide to walk by their side during times of pain, trauma or any type of transition situation to sustain balance.
-To get unstuck and find relief from physical/emotional/spiritual pain that has not been fully addressed by traditional medicine.
-to have a healing advantage for facing medical treatments such as before surgery or a medical treatment, support during chemotherapy, facilitation of wound healing or relieving side effects of medications.
-to be clearer about your life’s purpose and desire to make decisions in keeping with your connection to your Source and your Source-Spirit’s nudgings.
People have different experiences when receiving Energy Medicine Healing Touch depending on their individual needs. Some people become deeply relaxed and seem to “sleep” during a session; other people are aware of sensations and changes happening in their bodies. On a rare occasion, a discomfort may be felt as the energy is released and cleared.
The healing energy stays in a person’s body for seven to ten days. Some people feel emotional releases with tearing, laughter, or other responses during a session or a day or two after a session.
After a session, some people feel more alert, clear-minded, and energized. Others feel calm, peaceful, and relaxed. The human body is intelligent…it uses the energy that it receives to heal whatever needs to be healed in that particular person.
There is a bit of mystery to how Healing Touch works for relaxing, balancing energy, and transforming from within. For the founder of Energetics Boutique, how this works involves a spirit-to-spirit connection between client and practitioner and with what others have called Source or Universal Love. It also involves the power of a heart-mind connection-integrations and the letting go of that which a person no longer needs to provide space for new possibilities.
Energy Medicine Healing Touch is heart-centered and by the hearts’ very nature often stirs within the client reflections on their own deep belief systems and desire for spiritual alignment with their authentic self. Such a co-created process often spawns transformation.
Because of the nature of transformation, no guarantees of Energy Medicine Healing Touch sessions can be made.
The subtle shifts in energy are associated with outcomes such as relief of pain, increased immunity and how the person is in the world. Some clients report that it brings humility and intentional listening to all relationships, including their own relationship with themselves. For other clients, it takes the form of an emancipatory action expressed within the framework of others so the clients own unique abilities message can not only be expressed but it can be received by others.
About Energy Medicine Healing Touch Sessions:
Energy Medicine Healing Touch practitioner facilitates a deep sense of calm and relaxation for overall and specific body-mind-spirit healing. Energy is assessed through presence, dialogue and energy therapy. You can expect the practitioner to be expertly prepared and fully present to you as a spirit filled person, hold a professional healing presence throughout without judgment. All records are confidential and secured.
The total session typically lasts one hour, with first session lasting 90 minutes.
The session begins with a review of your file and checking in with how things are going for you. Your professional file forms include a Client intake, Client Consent to assess and treat, and the setting of mutually created intentions/goals. Records are kept confidential.
The person/client remains fully dressed, shoes and glasses off, and is made comfortable on a treatment table. Eyes of client are usually closed and client is invited to take a few deep breaths and intentionally relax into the table and go to a relaxing place in their mind and rest there. The session environment may include candles, music, plants and privacy.
Practitioner silently engages in grounding and centering (meditation) at head of table, then assesses the Energy System of the Body, chooses energy treatments, reassesses energy system, and then assists client off the table.
Practitioner/Client time afterwards the time on the table is focused on how the session was for them. Growth worksheets are often given. Next appointment is scheduled.
Energy Medicine Healing Touch sessions are offered onsite in Lancaster, PA. Our offices are on the upper level of the Cultural Center of the Bethel AME Church Lancaster, 512 E. Strawberry Street, Lancaster, PA 17602.
Online long-distance healing is also available upon request via a Zoom platform.
Energy Medicine Healing Touch embraces multiple ways of assessing and influencing energy. Some feel it, some intuitives know it. A pendulum may be used to assist in assessing energy centers and energy fields. Assessing energy with a pendulum is much like a water dowsing in attempts to locate ground water, by using objects to find the water. Other natural elements might be used to raise the persons vibration to be more life-giving.
No. Energy Medicine Healing Touch is not related to any specific religion. The practitioner honors the client’s belief systems to facilitate the client’s perception of being open to their own Source. As a practitioner, I intentionally connect spirit to spirit with you and my Source, thereby, allowing the flow of energy from Infinite Love and for my energetic field to become one with yours, thus affecting the whole.
Providers and clients have a wide range of spiritual beliefs…from among the seven major religious traditions in the world and others.
The founder of Energetics Boutique has found her own Source connection strengthened through participation in traditional laying on of hands at the St. John’ Episcopal Church in Lancaster, PA and the healing traditions of the historic black church of Bethel AME Church Lancaster where I volunteer in their Healing Hands ministry.
No. Continue taking medication and following recommendations provided by your medical team. Energy Medicine Healing Touch is not a replacement for traditional medicine. It is a complementary healing option. If you feel changes in your body after receiving Energy Medicine Healing Touch that concern you, tell your medical team what you are noticing and ask for their recommendations.
My mother said that I had an overactive imagination. I discovered as early as 6 years of age that I had an ability to know through dreams. I remain open to surprising messages from the Universe in whatever form they might take. I have learned that when we are in right relations, the Universe offers us just what we need when we need it.
My actual connection to Energy Medicine Healing Touch began upon my retirement as a tenured university professor of nursing. I built a private healing practice in my community. I studied with the Watson Caring Science Institute and became a Caritas Coach. Later, I became a WCSI Faculty Associate teaching in the Caritas Coach Program guided by Watson’s caring science philosophy. I became a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner through the Healing Touch Program and a Caritas Coach through the Watson Caring Science Institute. I also studied with The Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology benefiting from their Science of Healing courses.
Energetics Boutique is a trusted resource for Healing and integrated Self Care. Its former names include RN Healing Touch Caritas Coaching, and Caring Quality. Lois Gobel was formerly Lois S. Kelley.
I work well with anyone who is open to change in the midst of persistent pain or discomfort, no matter what the cause or circumstances. I specialize in helping persons who are struggling to find relief, and feel exhausted and out of sorts. I have energetic approaches which deal with immediate pain and also buried feelings that stresses the body.
My ideal client would include characteristics such as being thoughtful, passionate, committed to being healthy, experience life as a spiritual journey, seeking inner core desires, wanting deep belief values manifested in the world, awake to diverse deep belief systems, indulge in what matters, goes with the flow, does whatever it takes, embraces discomfort, wanting to stay well amid trauma, conflict or stressful times, values relationships that call for growth and change, wants to build a legacy, seeking to be lifted up in the “eye of a storm.”, wanting to serve and feel maximum joy and seeking how they might improve the world in spite of themselves.
If any of the above characteristics resonate with you as an ideal, then I have this “calling” to be there for you when you are in life situations of pain or are experiencing life events that stress you out and gets you stuck and out of balance.
