Freedom

Every client I consult with wants freedom: freedom to go after what they want; freedom to love who they want; freedom to ask for what they need; freedom from guilt or shame; freedom from resentment or blame; freedom from a relationship; freedom from a physical ailment; freedom to stop doing what no longer enlivens them; freedom from being the person that everyone …including themselves … expects them to be.

My clients are psychologically sophisticated men and women, most of whom are entering (or deeply embroiled in) the unsettling, liminal phase of existence: Mid-Life.

Despite having beautiful lives of outer success, many feel a niggling, inner dissatisfaction, wondering “Is this it?” That is often accompanied by guilt for not being more grateful for all that they have. They wonder what’s wrong with them that they just don’t, or can’t, feel happy with the things that used to make them feel successful and purposeful. They want to feel fulfilled and grounded and good about themselves and their lives, but underneath the lovely exterior, they just don’t. It weighs on them.

Sometimes their health is suffering.

Almost always a relationship is taking strain.

They want understanding regarding their inner restlessness, clarity on their purpose, and guidance to manage the (often challenging) emotional rollercoasters that accompany change.

They’re not looking for therapy. Rather they’re seeking reconnection with some forgotten part of themselves. They want wholeness. And wisdom. And genuine love for themselves and their lives.

It’s my absolute privilege to provide guidance to that end.

About Jolina

“Jolina is an oracle of sorts. She is a healer, not of brokenness but from an optimization standpoint….healing so that you’re equipped to be fully you.” Dr David Martin

For the past 30 years or so, Jolina has been guiding clients to greater levels of Self-awareness and personal integration, in order to heal themselves and and their relationships. She has led workshops and retreats on three continents to empower participants with a unique, values-driven understanding of human behavior and self-actualization. Now, more than ever, she believes it is imperative that as many of us as possible do the work of becoming whole. Our freedom and well-being depend on it.

Jolina holds certifications in Psychology, Sociology, various somatic therapies, Behavioral Kinesiology and The Demartini Method™. Her insights and wisdom are born of a lifelong fascination with human behavior, relationships, healing and the natural world.

The Backstory

Raised by a spiritual healer mother and a nuclear physicist father, Jolina’ knew her’s life has been about bringing science and spirituality together in order to make sense of the human experience, especially as it pertains to healing.

At fourteen, she read Carl Jung’s autobiography, and was inspired by his idea that we cannot affect true healing until we reach the soul. This ignited in Jolina four burning questions that informed the next few decades of her life: “What is the soul? How do we reach it? Why does this matter? And, how can I explain all this to dad?”

It was the search for answers to those questions that made Jolina leave her homeland South Africa in 1989. She says: “a little voice told me to ‘go find the thing you’re supposed to find and bring it back”. What she thought would take two years instead took fifteen.

In those fifteen years Jolina traveled on four continents, sailed across the Atlantic twice, became a professional sailor and chef, swam with dolphins, got married and divorced, started businesses, made a few documentaries and, most importantly, met a myriad of healers from whom she learned many things ….. telekinesis, plant spirit medicine, energy balancing, soul retrieval, somatic therapies, behavioral kinesiology and more. Then, in 2003, Jolina stumbled across the work of Dr Demartini.

His way of weaving together physics, physiology, cosmology and philosophy finally provided the understanding of human behavior and healing that she had been seeking.

Jolina is a teacher at heart. Grasping high level concepts and stepping them down in ways that others can grasp, is very high value to her. When you work with her you don’t get just some coaching tips or psychological insights, you get an education that is absolutely guaranteed to revolutionize the way you look at things.

Jolina knows that until we change the very lens through which we see and judge everything, nothing really changes. She is committed to teaching clients the principles of a new, more integrating and authentically liberating paradigm, much of which flies in the face of pop psychology and modern theology. It is a challenging path to take that requires a willingness to really look at oneself, own ALL that one sees, and integrate it through a high-level inquiry in functional-analysis. While this is guaranteed to shatter egos and crash identities, it is also guaranteed to liberate a far more refined and inspired, Self-knowing and Self-loving YOU.

Jolina shows the way through her 5-step process: Activate GRACE (TM)

Activate GRACE (TM)

Grace is the most powerful healing energy available to us.

It is the transcendent experience of Unconditioned Love.

And, it can be consciously activated within us.

I have found that the most powerful place from which to heal something is, paradoxically, from a place of wanting no healing.

Wanting no healing happens when we suddenly see the Divine Wisdom, or Order, in what we previously judged as ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ or ‘undesirable’.

When we humble ourselves out of our egoic beliefs about what’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’, ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, and observe each experience or person (including ourselves) through the lens of Divine Wisdom ….. when we ask the right questions to illuminate all the functions of what we have been calling ‘dysfunction’ …. when we suddenly see the perfection in what seemed just minutes ago ‘imperfect’ …then, just for a moment, our minds still, our hearts open, and we have direct access to our Soul. Grace – the frequency of divine, Unconditioned Love – floods us.

In these moments of being engulfed by Grace healing becomes possible.

Our History changes.

Our Identity expands.

Relationships shift.

Physiology reorganizes itself.

So, how do we get there?

Physics teaches us that every particle has an anti-particle ….a mirror of itself, but with the opposite charge.

The physicist Steven Hawking wrote: “We now know that every particle has an anti-particle, (the positron was discovered in 1932), with which it can annihilate. …  There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made out of antipartcles. However, if you meet your antiself, don’t shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light.”

The Hermetic Principles teach that the entire Universe is Mental, ie made of stories, with various frequencies (emotional charges) and that everything has two sides (every story has an anti-story) …with which it can annihilate.

When we force our Stories and their Anti-stories together in our conscious mind, they annihilate each other. They both vanish in a great flash of enlightenment.

In that moment of equilibrated perception, our minds still, our hearts open, and just for an instant, we have direct access to our SOUL.

The Activate GRACE (TM) Process is a learnable, repeatable 5-step process that I curated to facilitate that experience.

Sovereignty

A MANIFESTO

I am not here to fit in.

I am here to remember.

To strip away the illusions. To challenge the narratives.
To embody what I already know deep in my bones:

I am an emanation of The Divine,

A holographic reflection. 

A unique expression of All That Is.

And so is everyone else.

I believe the world is not healed by performance, but by Presence.

Not by domination, but by listening.
Not through obedience to corrupted systems,
but through devotion to something transcendent: Love.

I believe that sovereignty is not selfish: It is sacred.

To govern oneself is the start of true leadership.

To know oneself is the beginning of all healing.

To Love oneself is the greatest gift to one’s relationships.

I reject the lie that we are born broken.

We are born whole – not in sin, but in forgetting.

We are here to remember…. our wholeness, our godliness, our interdependent, divine nature…. and to love it all.

I walk the path of GRACE

Not as a passive kindness,
but as a fierce, intelligent force
that equilibrates, reconnects, and liberates.

Grace is not weakness.

Grace is the refusal to dehumanize—even in the face of madness.
It is radical, relational wisdom in a time of division.

I speak with those who feel the call.

The quiet leaders.
The spiritual seekers.
The ones disillusioned by systems,
but pulled by their soul.

You know who you are.
You feel it in your chest.

In the still moments.
In the ache for something more real.

In your questions about purpose.

In your desire for belonging.

You are not alone.

We are gathering.

Not to fight—but to remember.
Not to conform—but to create.

A new story.
A new society.
Rooted in Self-mastery, Reflective Consciousness, and Delight.
