All About the BIO-WELL Device and the Holistic Living Support Program™

By Jennifer Marcenelle, MBA, BSN, RN, HBN-BC, BC-HHP

Over the past decade, wellness researchers have made incredible headway in studying and sharing insights on the intersections between mental, physical, and spiritual health. One especially influential book, The Body Keeps Score, authored by one of today’s preeminent scholars on PTSD and trauma, explains how our traumas and emotional pain become reflected in our bodies over time. I find a recent article covering elements of the book particularly insightful.

As a Board-Certified Holistic Nurse, I assist clients in integrating key elements of energy psychology to unpack and work through complex emotional burdens. One especially useful tool in my practice is the Bio-Well device, which provides an objective snapshot of a client’s current physiological state. This article explores how the Bio-Well device works, its development and use, and what it reveals about a client’s physical, emotional, and energetic state. I also discuss its implications in the Burn Bright Way™ program.

Energy Psychology as a Core Component of Holistic Care

The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) defines energy psychology as:

“A family of mind-body methods that rapidly reduce stress and trauma while increasing calm. Calming the body (where stress is stored) is a missing key to unlocking rapid change.”

Energy psychology is integrated into treatment plans across the holistic healing field, playing a critical role in my services.

While mainstream psychological therapy often treats the mind and body as separate entities, holistic healing sees them as inherently connected. Emotional stressors take a direct and ongoing toll on the body, which can be identified and addressed through energy psychology.

When I begin working with new clients, my first step is to establish a safe, calming space. Defense mechanisms, however, can make it difficult for clients to open up—or even recognize that they are stressed. The Bio-Well device helps navigate these complexities by capturing energy readings, visually representing stress levels and holistic wellness markers.

Description and Features of the Bio-Well Device

The Bio-Well device captures energy readings and stress levels from all ten fingers. It provides real-time monitoring of physiological reactions during activities, discussions, or energy healing treatments.

Key features include:

• Simple, easy-to-understand graphics representing energy levels, stress, and emotional states.

• Assessment of balance levels throughout the body.

• Tracking of monthly biorhythms.

• Comparison of before-and-after energy readings, reflecting changes from healing sessions, diet, activity, detox, and other wellness efforts.

The Bio-Well device uses Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) techniques pioneered by Dr. Konstantin Korotkov. GDV evolved from the Kirlian effect and measures electro-photonic emissions from the human body. Research demonstrates that GDV can indicate important health markers, such as in patients with coronary heart disease. One study concluded that electro-photonic emission analysis from human fingers is “one of the promising methods” for studying systemic electromagnetic energy processes in clinical settings.

Implications for the Holistic Living Support Program™

Trauma can be any event, circumstance, or ongoing challenge that continues to impact our lives. Unaddressed trauma can influence thoughts and behaviors destructively, including:

• Debilitating self-criticism and judgment

• Self-destructive behaviors

• Preoccupation with trauma to the point of identifying as one’s trauma

The Burn Bright Way™ program empowers the hopeful parts of ourselves that have been overshadowed by years of pain and stagnation. By providing tools to address anxieties and depression, clients gain the opportunity to process unresolved pain, gain perspective, and transform their lives.

Using the Bio-Well device in early sessions provides an objective snapshot of a client’s current energy state and the burdens they carry. This is not a method to force disclosure, but rather a tool to frame conversations, build trust, and establish a collaborative approach for developing strategies that improve well-being.

If you are seeking complementary therapy to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD, I invite you to explore the Bio-Well device and the Holistic Living Support Program™. To learn more or schedule a consultation, visit Ann Arbor Holistic Living Support today.
