ABOUT ME

Gail Auten,
RN, BSN, MSN, CHSE

Decades of Nursing Experience, Guided by Healing Energy

At Lotus Bloom Wellness of Wilmington, North Carolina, care is rooted in compassion, clinical wisdom, and energetic balance.

I’m Gail Auten, your practitioner, a Retired Registered Nurse with over 52 years of experience in Clinical Healthcare in multiple hospitals, Physicians’ Offices, County Health Departments, Hospice, and 25 years as a Nurse Educator here in North Carolina.

Currently, I am working toward a New Certification as a Holistic Nurse Advocate and will soon offer those services as well.

I integrate Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, and Sound Healing to support emotional release, physical wellness, and spiritual alignment.

Each session is a safe, nurturing space for renewal and transformation.

SERVICES I OFFER

Therapeutic Touch

A gentle, compassionate approach to energy healing developed by nurses, Therapeutic Touch helps calm the nervous system and encourage your body’s natural ability to heal. This hands-on (or near-body) method promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and restores harmony to your energy field.

Reiki

Rooted in the Japanese tradition of energy medicine, Reiki channels universal life energy to support balance and emotional release. Many clients experience deep peace, warmth, or tingling sensations as stagnant energy begins to move and the body reclaims its natural flow.

Sound Healing

Immerse yourself in the soothing frequencies of sound therapy. Using tuning forks, singing bowls, or tonal vibrations, this session helps release energy blockages, quiet the mind, and bring you into a state of resonance and alignment — physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Holistic Nurse Advocate

You’ll receive personalized support and guidance on navigating today’s hospital environment, and advice on wellness decisions, bringing you clarity and confidence. Bridging medical knowledge and energy-based healing for your best outcome upon discharge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQ's]

1. What types of healing sessions do you offer?

We offer several holistic modalities designed to promote relaxation, energy balance, and emotional well-being. These include Therapeutic Touch, Reiki Energy Healing, and Sound Healing Therapy. Each session is customized to your individual needs and may include a combination of techniques to help restore balance to your mind, body, and spirit.

2. What can I expect during my first session?

Your first session begins with a short conversation to discuss your wellness goals and any areas of concern. You’ll then relax fully clothed on a comfortable table or chair while gentle, energy-based techniques are used to encourage natural healing. Most clients experience deep relaxation, warmth or tingling sensations, and a peaceful sense of calm.

3. Do I need prior experience with energy healing or meditation?

Not at all. Whether you’re brand new to holistic healing or already familiar with Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, or Sound Therapy, every session is guided to meet you exactly where you are. You simply need an open mind and willingness to relax and receive.

4. How do I know which service is right for me?

Each healing method supports balance and relaxation, but some people are drawn to specific modalities. If you’re uncertain, we’ll discuss your goals and recommend the most beneficial approach for you, or create a blended session combining Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, and Sound Healing for the best results.

5. Are remote or distance healing sessions available?

Yes. Energy is not limited by distance, and remote Reiki or Therapeutic Touch sessions can be just as effective as in-person ones. Many clients find distance sessions convenient and deeply restorative, especially when travel or health considerations make in-person visits difficult.
