The Team
Dr Jiin is the architect and host of the Transformational Journey blueprint. She first began offering this profound pathway to self-actualisation in 1991, and has since seen incredible personal transformations in the hundreds of participants that have completed her programs and workshops over the last 28-years.
Her credentials span far and wide and are almost too many to list. She is a Medical Doctor with over 40-years of experience – specialising in Holistic & Integrative Medicine; Mindfulness; Body Wisdom and Sensory Work Release; Esoteric Healing & Psychology; Journey Work; Art Therapy; Psychodrama; Psychosynthesis; Breath Work; Quantum Breakthrough Process; Process Work (Process-Oriented Psychology) and Hakomi Principles of Mind Body Integration – amidst a plethora of other credentials. She has seen and treated thousands of patients from all walks of life.
The Transformational Journey came about through Dr Jiin’s realisation that patients under her care continued to suffer from physiological and psychological issues despite treatment. Through treating cancer patients, mental health disorders and every other shade of personal suffering, Dr Jiin started to witness first-hand, that true healing was something that happened from within the being. It became apparent these physical manifestations were all symptomatic of an inner calling to heal unresolved past memory of negative experiences, blocked emotions and long-held, limiting beliefs from within. Further, she realised, that this suffering could be one’s greatest gift if transformed.
Dr Jiin clearly saw that every aspect of one’s external life and health was reflective of the health of the Inner Life. Once she began to work with individuals as a whole, from this bigger picture, with her dynamic and holistic toolkit of expertise, the healing and changes were miraculous. And that is how and why the Transformational Journey was born.
All who experience Dr Jiin comment about the innate compassion and love she exudes for humanity. She sees you as a whole being and is always excited to meet new participants on the path. The level of support, wisdom, expertise and care she shares is unmatched. Know you have come across a great teacher, and are in the most amazing hands!
