“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.
