About Justine Joslyn
During and even after college, I seemed to be interested in everything, zigzagging through various roles. I taught ESL overseas, organized international women's conferences, worked for the Peace Corps, and youth empowerment nonprofits, all while considering about 5 different graduate programs.
A career in university research bought me more time, exposing me to government-funded studies on treatments for trauma, child health, addiction, and marital distress. Through stacks of books and, finally, graduate school in clinical psychology, I was prepared for roles as a psychotherapist, coach, and educator, working with children in public schools, and up to the present, with families, couples, high-achieving adults and entrepreneurs.
Parallel to this, I explored meditation, mysticism and positive mindset approaches. I noticed my experiences with expanded states of consciousness, synchronicities and muti-layered healing were missing from mainstream research and education, even though these phenomena have been scientifically validated, They prove an inextricable link between mind and matter.

Like many, I navigated through two layers: first, my direct experiences awareness, intentions and life outcomes, and second observations of patterns, particularly omissions of truth within institutions like the media, medicine and education. There was a split between what many of us empirically knew to be true, and the topics were allowed to explore in our classes and research. Sometimes we internalized the mockery of the mainstream, with reflexive self-deprecation of anything weird or “woo-woo”, lest lose respect, research funding or points on an assignment.
I found solace in a transpersonal PhD program, where I learned more about the marginalized research from diverse academic fields that exposed the current dogma within mainstream science. I was grateful for a sanctuary of critical thinking applied to fascinating topics like transcendence, psi and near-death experiences. I was impressed with the professors patiently pursuing their work on the periphery, but I had doubts about taking time for a dissertation. By then, I already had a working theory for why my therapy and coaching modality worked so well. After 2 years of nudging from my intuition, I left with enough coursework to explain the theory in academic terms.
The next years brought amazing experiences, with experiments connecting self-created happiness to manifestation, both for myself and for my clients and students. Then, out-of-the-blue, my happy train took a detour, revealing unsettling truths about the world from larger geopolitical events to personal exploitations that hurt my family. It seems my intuition decided I needed to wake up to just how dark the shadows could get.
I’m now grateful for all these lessons in discernment, and I am now better able to help others dissolve their own layers of illusion, so they can transform their own lives. People with good old common sense, philosophers, mystics and some quantum physicists understand that our intention interfaces with physical reality. Accepting that intellectually is one thing, but it’s quite another to put it into practice. My hope is that I can make it easier for others to put this profoundly positive truth into practice so we can create the wellness, connection and abundance that we all deserve.
It’s an incredible time to be alive; during a pivotal time in human evolution as we heal the divide between science and spirituality.
