Jill Martin professional bio

Professional Bio

Jill Martin is an award-winning Coach, Mentor, and Energy Practitioner who helps smart women go bolder & grow wilder as they step into the brilliant life their souls are destined for. She has a lifelong love of seeking out truth and seeing people shine in their mastery.

With an MSc specializing in behavioural medicine, Jill was a once-skeptical health systems researcher and ontological coach, but a health crisis resolved through energy healing redirected her life’s path to one of passion for the invisible forces at play in our lives. Since then, she has impacted others through her warmth and candor, challenging clients to see their limiting energetic patterns and to align with who they’re really meant to be in every facet of life.

During her study of varying spiritual lineages, Jill fell in love with the groundbreaking work of Donny Epstein in quantum energetics and his AlchemE® technology, the conscious use of energy and information for extraordinary magic in all areas of life. She is an AlchemE Mentor®, and also practices Beyond Quantum Healing, MCKS Pranic Healing, and hellenistic astrology. Adding to her knowledge of movement and the body, Jill is also a licensed S Factor® teacher of feminine embodiment and empowerment.

You can find her in her backyard in Calgary, Canada drinking golden mylk lattes with her husband & 9 lb Brussels Griffon, Chaka. Fun fact: one of her research articles has been viewed & downloaded over 1.5 million times!
