Psy-Tek Labs—Bridging the gap between
Integrative and Conventional Medicine using
Subtle Energy Testing. Science fiction fans
drool every time they see “Bones”, the doctor
on Star-Trek pull out his Tricorder and
magically diagnose any body before him. The
Tricorder isn’t here yet but a generation of
computers and devices that can measure our
bodies energy fields have evolved and are
starting to reveal previously undiscovered
components of our health.
Bob Hertz CDP, a computer scientist and
serial entrepreneur, is at home with
sophisticated computers, communications and
laboratory equipment after decades of
automating industry and businesses utilizing
cutting edge technologies,
Since 1996 Hertz has been working with
Mary Clark Ph.D., a psychotherapist and
specialist in Energy Psychology and Energy
Healing. They focus on health systems,
alternative methods of healing and non-invasive
methods of assessing health for both allopathic
and integrative physicians. They include the
many different types of practitioners including
nutritionists, acupuncturists, chiropractors and
dozens of healing modalities and practices.
“You name the field, we’ve worked with the
practitioner” Hertz says..
In 2001 Hertz and Clark first came up with
the idea of creating a Subtle Energy testing lab.
They began exploring non-invasive equipment
that claimed to be energy based. Most of the
devices evaluated were not scientifically based
and could not support repeatable data needed
for assessments and research. Additionally,
health practitioners such as acupuncturists and
massage therapists, to name a few, could not
order medical testing such as MRIs, blood work
and X-rays. Hertz and Clark searched for
cutting-edge equipment and advanced health
technologies in body scans that reveal cellular
level statistics, life energy patterns and other
wellness information. They wanted health
practitioners to use reports and images from
these devices to help their patients understand
what is happening internally and energetically.
Psy-Tek Labs was born.
Bob Hertz and Mary Clark are the cofounders
and managing directors of Psy-tek
Labs which is a division of Healing Energies and
Research Technologies, Inc. a 501(c)3 nonprofit,
dedicated to supporting advancement in
health technologies and subtle energy research.
Hertz and Clark have joined up with a longtime
friend and colleague. Gaetan Chevalier Ph.D. a wellknown
and published physicist who specializes in
exactly what Psy-Tek Labs is all about.
Subtle Energy is Gaetan’s ‘middle name’. He
has the long-term experience in both utilizing
and instructing in subtle energy devices.
Together, Hertz, Clark and Chevalier have been
