Lorie is the founder of Energy Healing Things™, a heart-centered brand rooted in emotional healing, energy awareness, and soulful self-discovery. She is a Reiki Master and ordained minister who has lovingly officiated over 60 weddings. With a background in communications, human services, psychology, ethics, law, and pre-nursing studies, she blends spiritual insight with a grounded understanding of the human body, mind, and spirit.

From an early age, Lorie’s life was shaped by profound responsibility. Before she turned 13, she became the primary caregiver for her elderly, bedridden Immigrant adoptive parents—a commitment that would span over 25 years. She also endured relentless bullying as a child  due to a severe stutter and social awkwardness from her Asperger’s, which gifted her a rare depth of empathy and insight into the loneliness and pain many carry in silence.

At age 11, Lorie survived sexual assault by her best friend’s father—an experience that shaped her deep compassion for those who carry invisible wounds. At 17, she married a 28-year-old man from a strict religious family and dropped out of high school, believing he would help care for her mother. He did not. After a six-year marriage marked by emotional / physical neglect, she successfully obtained a rare annulment through the Catholic Diocese of Orange County.

Determined to start over, Lorie earned her GED, returned to college at age 27, and supported both herself and her mother in their single wide trailer, by working graveyard waitressing shifts. While living in a high-crime neighborhood of Santa Ana, she studied by day and worked by night. Despite all odds, she graduated with honors, was elected Homecoming Queen, and went on to attend law school.

She took a job as a health insurance salesperson for FHP Healthcare. Within six months, she was promoted to district sales manager, leading her own team. By the end of four years, she became the number one salesperson out of 400 company-wide. When the company was eventually sold, she married. 

Her journey as a single mother began in crisis. Her stockbroker husband was arrested and sentenced to 21 years in prison. All their assets were seized. Six months pregnant and with a one-year-old child, Lorie found herself with no support, no living family, and living as a maid in someone’s home. After giving birth, she began cleaning two houses a day while on welfare and food stamps, often taking buses and walking long distances to work.

During her 7th month of pregnancy, she was falsely suspected of being involved in her ex-husband’s crimes. In a courtroom filled with onlookers, she was shackled in leg irons and sent to a women’s jail. After a month in custody, her neighbors and church members—believing in her innocence—put their home up as collateral to post her bail.

Once her name was cleared, Lorie rose again. She earned her real estate license and found great success. But when the Great Recession hit, she was 3 weeks away from losing everything. With no income and facing homelessness, she asked a neighbor to watch her children and went to Las Vegas—the only place still thriving. There, she took a job at a legal brothel and returned two weeks later with enough money to stabilize her family. After several visits, she was financially able to weather the economic storm and got remarried and started Real Estate again.

Over the course of her career, Lorie sold over 350 homes and became the number-one agent at her last company. When her husband lost his business and decided to stop working for seven years, she used her real estate earnings and became the general contractor on the project to build a five-star wedding venue/Bed & Breakfast from the ground up. She also served three terms as president of her local Women's Club in a small country town.

In 2019 the business was stable as her son was taking over daily responsibility. With free time on her hands Lorie decided to see if she could help others. She was hired by a private firm and became an inmate supervisor at a mens prison in her local community. She was responsible for 30 inmates and their work schedules and walked the prison daily to monitor their work. It was stressful some times, as you were made aware that the prison did not negotiate with hostage situations so the job was very dangerous, but very rewarding as she helped inmates with many issues. For 6 months she helped others and left when she was injured on the job.

In 2020, during the pandemic, her divorce was finalized. Though she was awarded the business, she could not legally operate it due to state shutdowns. Meanwhile, her ex-husband received all the proceeds from the sale of their home, and she was ordered to pay him spousal support in exchange for the business she built . To stay afloat, Lorie returned to her roots—offering Reiki and in-person counseling.

In 2023, she traveled to Florida to complete the intensive hypnotherapy program offered by world renowned Omni International of Switzerland. The only unlicensed student in a room full of medical professionals, Lorie graduated as a certified Omni Hypnotherapist.

That same year, she became engaged to a longtime client. Their time together was joyful but short—he passed away from cancer in January 2025. One month earlier, she had sold her wedding venue. But during escrow, the state discovered she had operated for years without a specific permit—despite having paid professional accounting firms and all taxes on time. Her earnings were frozen in escrow, and she now faces the possibility of losing it all.

Despite all this, Lorie continues to rebuild. She has returned to her healing work— offering Reiki, Hypnotherapy, and emotional support to those who feel unseen, broken, or alone. Her journey has been affirmed by over 30 psychics who have all said the same thing: she was born to be a healer.

Lorie’s work has always centered around connection: helping the emotionally and physically scarred, supporting lonely and disabled clients, and creating spaces where others feel seen, safe, and loved. Her greatest gift is her ability to help others relax and open up—even those who have never trusted anyone before.

Her life is proof that healing doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from love, resilience, and the courage to begin again.
