Welcome to Super States. Today I have a special guest, Mike Sententia. Mike, welcome to the show.

Great to be here.

Awesome to have you here, Mike. Just to get started, share with me and with the audience what it is that you do and how that can make an impact in the world.

I do energy healing for chronic pain—arthritis, fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, things like that. Many people I work with come in with debilitating pain, like eight out of ten pain with every step for arthritis clients. Others experience excruciating pain when lifting their arm, even for simple tasks like doing the dishes. It’s not just daily pain—it impacts sleep, mood, and all of the mental states, right?

My work aims to reduce pain. I’ve been working with energy for more than 30 years and doing it professionally since 2015. What’s unique about what I do is the money-back guarantee: no upfront payment. Clients come in, feel the results immediately, and then I send them an invoice. If they like the results, they pay. If not, they don’t. That makes it easy for people to try, especially since energy healing can seem a little weird to folks. I’m excited to be here and share more about it.

Mike’s Journey

Great. You kind of hinted at this, but I find most people have their own journey with whatever they end up doing. Share your story—how did you get here? What’s your backstory?

Absolutely. It started when I was a kid. A friend who loved fantasy novels talked about feeling energy from trees. I tried it and felt tingling. I went to the ocean, tuned in, and experienced this full-body tingling sensation. At 12, I had no idea how much was energy and how much was imagination, but it got me curious. I began exploring ways to sense energy and learned techniques to tune in, what I call “mental posture.”

In my 20s, I partnered with someone who had chronic knee pain from running. Whenever we danced or she gardened, her knees ached. I began reading the energy of her knees and adjusting it to look like my healthy knees. Her pain would come down, but it returned the next day. After three months of daily work, her pain stopped, and she ran again for the first time in years. This experience, and others like helping her with chronic hives, showed me the potential of energy healing.

Later, when she was diagnosed with cancer, I became part of her care team, developing more techniques to ease her pain and improve sleep during chemo. She eventually passed away, but her belief in what I did inspired me to found Healing Lab. The goal? Not just researching energy healing but growing into an industry partner to fund and drive research, make it mainstream, and help the millions living with chronic pain.

The Science of Energy Healing

I love how you’ve created this organization to help heal people. What inspired that piece for you?

Initially, I thought I’d focus on research. But I questioned myself: How confident am I that the results I’ve seen aren’t just placebo? A mentor encouraged me to read the existing research, and I was blown away. Studies show energy healing affects inanimate matter, like water’s pH and infrared reflectivity—things that can’t placebo. It helps cells in petri dishes recover better and prevents cancer metastasis in mice. Plant clippings receiving energy healing survive 90 days, while others die in 30. These results validated my confidence in the work and showed me the potential for broader applications.

You mentioned speaking to the science of this. How does it work?

Research has been ongoing since the 1970s. Yet, no one fully understands how energy healing works. It doesn’t fit into existing frameworks of physics, chemistry, or biology. Every few generations, we encounter phenomena missing from current science. For example, quantum physics was once a mystery but led to transistors and the internet. Similarly, understanding energy healing could lead to world-changing technologies.

Right now, energy healing research is exactly where it should be—still gathering evidence, grappling with questions, and building toward wider acceptance.

Misconceptions and Mental Posture

As people come to you for energy work, I’m sure they have certain expectations or beliefs. What are some common misconceptions?

The biggest misconception is that you have to believe in energy healing for it to work. Most of my clients are skeptics who only try it because of the guarantee, yet they get the same results as others.

While client beliefs don’t seem to matter, my mental state is crucial. I use “mental posture” to engage the right parts of my mind to move energy. It’s similar to using physical muscles for movement. Teaching this concept to my students helps them intentionally access the right state for energy work, writing, meditating, or relaxing.

Unique Process and Results

There are many kinds of energy healing. Can you describe your process? It sounds like something you’ve developed over time.

Yes, I’ve developed it over 20 years. Unlike systems that use one universal energy for everything, I dial in specific energies for each tissue involved in a condition. For instance, when working with arthritis, I use one energy for cartilage based on the energy of a child’s cartilage to help it regrow. After about a year of working with me, most arthritis clients don’t need me anymore.

For inflamed tissue, such as the bursa or cartilage, I use an energy that targets inflammation. Chronic pain, where nerves learn to signal pain better and better, has its own unique energy signature. Suppressing that energy signature often reduces pain in about a minute. By targeting specific tissues with tailored energies, I achieve stronger, faster, and longer-lasting results.

Future of Energy Healing

What are you looking forward to in the future of energy healing?

Right now, energy healing has about 1% market penetration. Compare that to acupuncture or chiropractic care, which are around 10% and often covered by insurance. I want to see energy healing gain wider acceptance, with insurance covering it so that finances are no longer a barrier for anyone who could benefit. My hope is to help more people access this powerful form of healing.

If people want to learn more about you and your work, where should they go?

Visit HealingLab.org. There’s information about what I do, how the guarantee works, and even a short video explaining it all. You can also book a free consultation to ask questions and see if it’s right for you.

What’s the one piece of wisdom you want the audience to take away today?

Anyone can learn energy healing. It’s a natural human ability that we don’t fully understand yet, but it’s accessible to anyone willing to explore it. It’s a wonderful way to tap into this human potential.

Thank you for your time today. This has been an energizing conversation.

Thanks for having me.
