The Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine – Licensed Ecclesiastical Health Provider (DCEM-LEHP) is an advanced ecclesiastical doctoral designation conferred through the Elements of Life Ecclesiastical Health Association (ELEHA).

This credential recognizes doctoral-level formation, competency, and ethical standing within the classical frameworks of Chinese Energetic Medicine and Medical Qigong, as taught and preserved within ELEHA’s ecclesiastical and educational lineage.

Why Become Licensed Under DCEM-LEHP?

Clarity. Protection. Ethical Authority.

Practicing Chinese Energetic Medicine without clear structure exposes practitioners to legal ambiguity, misrepresentation risk, and ethical uncertainty—even when their work is non-medical and non-invasive.

The DCEM-LEHP exists to resolve that.

This credential does not grant medical authority — it grants clarity, structure, and protection for those practicing energetic medicine responsibly.

Who is this for?

The DCEM-LEHP is intended for individuals who:

  • Have completed ELEHA-approved doctoral training

  • Demonstrate advanced competency in energetic, spiritual, and classical Chinese medicine frameworks

  • Are committed to ethical practice, humility, and service

  • Seek to operate within a values-based, ecclesiastical health model

  • Wish to teach, guide, and serve within non-medical energetic and spiritual domains

Authorized Scope of Practice

DCEM-LEHP holders are authorized to provide ecclesiastical energetic and spiritual care within ELEHA’s framework, including:

  • Non-invasive energetic and spiritual practices

  • Instruction in breathwork, movement, meditation, and awareness

  • Observation and description of energetic patterns using non-diagnostic, descriptive language

  • Spiritual, lifestyle, and energetic guidance rooted in classical principles

  • Traditional wellness education, including discussion of foods, dietary patterns, and herbal teas for energetic balance and vitality

All services are provided as educational, spiritual, and energetic support only.

Important Boundaries

DCEM-LEHP holders do not:

  • Diagnose medical conditions

  • Treat or cure disease

  • Prescribe pharmaceuticals

  • Perform surgery or invasive procedures

  • Replace or interfere with licensed medical care

Medical diagnosis and treatment remain the responsibility of licensed healthcare professionals.

Use of the Title “Doctor”

Holders of this credential may use the title “Doctor” or “Dr.” only when it is immediately accompanied by the appropriate designation:

Acceptable examples

  • Dr. Jane Smith, DCEM-LEHP

  • Jane Smith, Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine (DCEM)

Use of “Dr.” by itself, or any implication of state or medical licensure, is not permitted unless the individual is separately licensed under applicable law.

Membership & Ethics Requirement

All DCEM-LEHP services require:

  • Active ELEHA membership for both practitioner and recipient

  • Informed consent prior to any session

  • Adherence to ELEHA’s ethical standards, scope limits, and oversight

Failure to remain within authorized scope may result in review, suspension, or revocation of the credential.

Renewal & Continuing Education

The DCEM-LEHP credential is issued for a defined term and requires renewal through:

  • Continued ethical standing

  • Ongoing education or contribution

  • Teaching, scholarship, mentorship, or approved service

  • Reaffirmation of ELEHA agreements

This ensures the credential remains living, accountable, and aligned with its purpose.

A Path of Responsibility and Service

The DCEM-LEHP is not a claim of authority over others —
it is a commitment to integrity, restraint, humility, and lifelong learning.

It reflects a dedication to preserving and transmitting classical energetic medicine within a clear, ethical, and spiritually grounded framework.
