I'm Sending You Healing Energy ✨

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.

Growing up Lorie had a severe stutter and endured relentless bullying as a child with Asperger’s who was placed in a special needs class thru all of Elementary School . This experience 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. 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. 

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 only being touched 1 time a year , she successfully obtained a rare annulment through the Catholic Diocese of Orange County.

Young and with no skills , Lorie took a job selling cars - the first female hire for most dealerships. People would walk by her and state I need to talk to a man . Lorie became the most knowledgeable salesperson on the lot to counter the bias she received. Lorie became the #1 salesperson in the dealership that month and continued her reign for the next 3 years. She represented her dealership at the LA auto show and was on stage showing off cars . Her love of cars paid off. 

Determined to continue her education, Lorie earned her GED at night class, than returned to college at age 27. She paid for her education and supported both herself and her mother in their single wide trailer, by working graveyard waitressing shifts at a high dollar restaurant . While living in a high-crime neighborhood of Santa Ana Calif, she studied by day and worked by night. Despite all odds, she graduated with honors, was elected President of all the Club on campus and than Homecoming Queen. She went on to attend law school - which after a year and a half she decided was not for her , due to being in conflict with the clients and the people they were fighting against which was not how Lorie wanted to live her life. 

Lorie met her second husband . After getting her mother to take a small loan, Lorie bought a failing AutoCad engineering training business that she had been working at and became certified by the state of California as a woman owned business. This allowed her to get government contracts and be successful. It was at this time that Lorie walked into the office and saw her husband fooling around with his secretary. He told her to leave for a few days to her mother’s and come back Monday morning and everything would be fine. When she came back ,she found he had emptied every single thing in the business location, down to bare walls and stole the entire business and then went bankrupt on the debt to Lorie’s mother. It was devastating and ruined her financially. 

She than 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 agents company-wide. When the company was eventually sold, she married again and her new husband was very kind to her bedridden mother. 

Her mother passed away just before her stockbroker husband was arrested and eventually sentenced to 21 years in prison. He sent Lorie to the bank to deposit what turned out to be a forged check and when the police came he refused to state where the check came from . Even though Lorie didn't even have a parking ticket she was swept up in the whole court case. All their assets were seized. She lost her home to foreclosure and had to pack up the entire house by herself and give away her pets, it was devastating. 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. During her 7th month of pregnancy, as her ex-husband had refused to give up the information where the checks came from. The district attorney's office decided to use Lorie as a bargaining chip against him so he would confess to everything - he refused. She was charged with every thing they had charged him with. 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. 

At 46 yrs old and 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 . At that point she did not want to be away from her children any more and became an escort . She built her own website - back when there was no info to be found on this industry on the internet - and became extremely popular due to her reputation for kindness . 

She got remarried and started Real Estate again. Over the course of her career, Lorie’s sold over 350 homes and became the number-one agent at her last company. When her 4th husband lost his business and decided to stop working for the next seven years, she used her real estate earnings to buy a house and livestock barn .She became the general contractor on the project to build a five-star wedding venue/Bed & Breakfast from the ground up. It won national awards, and was in yelps 2019 top venues in the nation. She also served three terms as president of her local Women's Club in her 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. She gave her husband $300,000 from the sale of the house and everything he asked for including spousal support payments for a year to pay off his credit card. The only thing she was awarded was the business which was her greatest desire. Because of the pandemic, she could not legally operate it for a year due to Calif. state shutdowns. She had no job or money, and was in a tiny town with no jobs , but still had to pay a mortgage and fire insurance.  To stay afloat, Lorie moved to LA and stayed in a hotel room for months while doing in-person coumseling. She saved up her money and got an apt to continue to offer in-person counseling. 

In 2023, she traveled to Florida to complete the intensive hypnotherapy program offered by world renowned Omni International of Switzerland. Lorie was the only unlicensed student in a room full of medical professionals, Lorie graduated as a certified Omni Hypnotherapist. At the end of the course 1 student was offered a hypnotherapy session with the owner from Switzerland, but it had to be done in front of the class for all to see. Lorie was chosen by the class. The root of Lorie’s lifelong intense anger at her adoptive father finally came to light. She was finally able to break thru her mental wall and see his abuse of her as a young child thru about 8 yrs old. It was gut wrenching, but therapeutic. 

That same year, she became engaged to a longtime client. Their time together was joyful but short, after only 8 months he passed away from cancer in January 2025. One month earlier in Dec, she had sold her wedding venue. But during escrow, the state discovered she had operated for years without a specific permit. Despite having paid business accounting firms to do her taxes and paying all her taxes on time, her earnings were frozen in escrow, and she now faces the possibility of losing it all. This was the most stressful time of her life for those few months. 

Despite all this, at 62 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 over her lifetime 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. These hurdles are just 50% of the crazy events she has endured in her life. There are many, many more that have shaped Lorie. These have given Lorie the ability to be compassionate and understanding of other people's problems. 

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