Bioenergetics: A Holistic Support Tool for Children With Speech and Developmental Challenges

If you’re a mom navigating a diagnosis like Childhood Apraxia of Speech or Autism Spectrum Disorder, your world is likely filled with new terms, therapies, and decisions. While traditional supports are essential, many parents are also searching for gentle, complementary ways to support their child as a whole. Bioenergetics is one such approach.

In this post, I’ll explain what bioenergetics is, how it may support children with apraxia and autism, and what I observed when I offered a free bioenergetic trial to a group of moms walking a similar path.

What is Bioenergetics?

Bioenergetics is the study, detection, and correction of energy. It is a type of energy medicine, which is also referred to as vibrational therapy, energy healing, and frequency medicine.

I like Documenting Hope’s explanation of vibrational therapy: “If parts of the body become unbalanced, they may be healed through projecting the proper and correct frequencies back into the body.”

A few common types of energy medicine are: reiki, essential oils, homeopathy, sound therapy, prayer, and light therapy. Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of vibrational therapy, which dates back to 100 BC in Ancient China.

As Albert Einstein said, “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it.” Although sometimes energy medicine is thought of as new age or “woo woo,” we think nothing of other modern conveniences that are powered by invisible energy: fingertips that use energy to scroll on a phone, x-rays, MRIs, EEGs, and Wi-Fi.

Energy4Life's Bioenergetics Wellness System (BWS)

Energy4Life (formally NES Health) was founded in 2002. The E4L Bioenergetics Wellness System (BWS) is based on the premise that the human body field produces energy in the form of electromagnetic frequency, light, and sound — all of which instruct and control the body’s biochemistry.

Modern medicine and also integrative, functional, and biomedical approaches focus on the biochemistry of the body … a straightforward problem and solution methodology. For example, giving your child vitamins or a probiotic for nutrient or gut deficiencies. Or, going to a MD for eczema and being prescribed steroid cream.

Although biochemistry is a vital piece of the puzzle, exploring the energetic body also makes sense.

Why I Chose Energy4Life's Bioenergetics

Thirteen years ago, when my son had apraxia of speech, I believed that if I supported his body from every angle, something — or a combination of things — would create a shift. This belief is why I included acupuncture, another type of energy medicine, as part of his holistic journey.

Later, when I set out on a mission to help other parents navigating apraxia and autism, I knew I needed an energy-based tool that was:

• Gentle enough for children to do at home

• Accurate

• Affordable

• Effective

Energy4Life checked every box and is science-backed by over twenty years of research in bioenergetics. As technology continues to improve, they also continue to elevate their products. They have recently launched the GEM health wearable and Clarity AI, a practitioner chat tool for better client support.

How Does Bioenergetics Work?

Energy4Life uses advanced software to analyze the energy emitted from your voice or hand. This is done by counting to ten or using a small hand scanner that connects to your computer, phone, or tablet.

Just like radio waves carry information that becomes music, your child’s body emits energetic information that reflects their current state of balance.

​The software compares this information to mathematical “blueprints” of wellness. When something doesn’t match, it’s gently flagged as an area that may need support.

Immediately after scanning, you receive a clear, user-friendly assessment that explains the findings. Over 350 biomarkers of the body field are analyzed, but a few of my favorites are:

• Hydration, movement, and grounding

• Organ systems and brain bioenergetics

• Meridians

• Immune system

• Environmental toxins and EMFs

• Vitamin, mineral, fat, & antioxidant fields

What Does Energy4Life's Bioenergetic Scan Look Like?

The report is easy to understand and is also color coded. Purple indicates areas needing the most support. This is what we are most focused on with orange being the next in line of priority.

When you click on an item, you get more information about it. Each page includes simple habit or lifestyle suggestions and optional Infoceutical recommendations.

The educational content in this software is phenomenal in helping you to better understand how your child's whole body works together. This allows you to support their health in a more strategic, holistic, effective way. There is less guessing, overwhelm, and confusion. There is greater clarity, insight, and focus.

Here is a sampling of what to expect with the results:

Exploring Bioenergetics for Apraxia and Autism: Insights From a Free Trial With Moms

I have used this technology for about two years with my family and friends, and in October of 2025, I did a soft-launch to open it up to special needs families. There are two other practitioners that I know of using this service with children, but I wanted my own experience before I opened it up to everyone.

I offered two free bioenergetic scans with virtual consultations to moms of children with apraxia of speech. I had several people reach out, but in the end, eight moms participated. Most were able to use the voice scan, but a few of the children were nonverbal and needed the hand scanner shipped to them.

The one thing I consistently heard from moms was how accurate they felt the test was and they were able to take away clues and tips to better help their child.

Why Parents Love This Technology

Here are a few things that parents love about this technology:

• ​Easy-to-understand findings that educate you on how your child’s whole body works together so you can make more informed decisions.

• Simple lifestyle tips & Infoceutical recommendations.

• Insight to strengthen intuition, giving extra clues when something feels “off.”

• Guidance for next steps to explore root causes. For example, if a nutrient shows as a priority, additional lab work may be worth considering.

• Energetic patterns are highlighted that may influence speech, motor planning, emotional regulation, sleep, digestion, behavior, sensory processing, and responses to environmental or nutritional stressors.

• The perfect complement to energy-based practices like muscle testing, homeopathy, or reiki.

• Real-time feedback if you make diet changes, add a supplement, notice regression, or your child gets sick.

What Are Infoceuticals?

The Energy4Life Bioenergetics Wellness System includes Infoceutical recommendations with each scan. Infoceuticals are structured water imprinted with frequencies using light and magnetic fields. They are designed to support the body at the energetic level by restoring coherence, and improving energy flow and communication. They are easy to take, gentle, and have a neutral taste. Perfect for dropping into a water bottle each morning.
