2020 – 2022 School Years

 

Chris Theisen

The UMS program overview was clear that the workload would be a bit heavier and concentrated in time due to the number of healing modalities we would be engaging in, so I anticipated a steady stream of homework. I also expected to go deep into healing(s) and learning new counseling tools to help empower myself and others. All of this has been true.

As a result of attending UMS, Physically – I have more energy in my body and my awareness has grown in the need to nurture myself, which has been beneficial in numerous ways. Becoming attuned to breath and my body alkalinity has also improved my overall health, clarity of thought, and well being.

The applied teachings have been both useful and helpful to myself (and others) in class and at work, by seamlessly interconnecting the modalities through repetition and building off each other, to work in conjunction with what has previously been learned/taught. In this, the course composition is well thought out and provides the opportunity for new skills to be acquired each class. The material has been insightful, enriching, engaging and enlightening.

The UMS Program has affected my life in following ways..

Physically – I have more energy in my body and my awareness has grown in the need to nurture myself, which has been beneficial in numerous ways. Becoming attuned to breath and my body alkalinity has also improved my overall health, clarity of thought, and well being.

Emotionally – I have been able to take ownership of my feelings and better relate to how they affect me both personally and interpersonally, through the program provided at UMS. Courses such as the Freedom Code, Freedom Method, and Inner Bonding have provided me invaluable tools for identifying and healing trapped emotions and traumas in myself and others. By taking responsibility of my emotions and healing them through feeling the feelings – processing and releasing them – rather than avoiding or suppressing them, I have found less ‘gravity’ or drama in my life and am able to act and speak confidently in my authentic truth.

Mentally – As stated above, the conscious breath work (I AM Breath) teachings and practices have greatly assisted in improving my clarity of thought and intuition. Combined in practice with different counseling tools learned at UMS such as, Heart Centered Listening and Asking Powerful Questions, I have found a greater awareness in how to better counsel others as well as to myself. I feel more attuned and easily adapted to a variety of situations in life and in counseling.

Spiritually – The course material requires spiritual practice in all things taught, which has greatly benefitted the consistency of my own personal spiritual practices. Through it all, I feel more aligned with my Authentic Self and better attuned to my Inner Child, guides, and angels.

I am 2.5 months into the IAMU program, and it is what I expected and more! I knew we would be learning various healing modalities, but I did not expect to receive such intense personal counseling and healing, especially after such a short time.  Since being in the program, I have already utilized many of the skills I have been learning in various categories of my life. The skills I have learned and have been practicing have facilitated quick conflict resolution and allowed for more harmonious communication with others.  The program has also tremendously helped to reshape the ways I talk to myself. I have overcome some toxic core beliefs about myself and am actively working on letting go of others. The learning style is comfortable and welcoming.  Joa provides a safe space to be open and vulnerable.  Joa is encouraging and gentle while also maintaining an efficient leadership role. I feel supported and loved by both Joa and Maqua, as well as my peers. The first few months has proved to be the beginning of an incredible personal transformation. I am accepting and embodying my innate healing abilities, while simultaneously letting go of lifelong patterns that no longer serve me.

2019 – 2020 School Year

Nhou Lee

3.5 Months into the Program:

I feel so different on a spiritual, emotional, physical and mental level since I came to IAMU.

On the spiritual level, I used to feel that I wasn’t supported by the universe and always had a scarcity mindset. After I learned Accelerated Healing, I have been clearing my emotions regularly and now I find myself manifesting exactly what I need! I feel so full of life now, and a deep knowing that all my needs are always take care of. 

On an emotional level, I used to overeat to fill a void of love. I no longer do this since being at IAMU. Instead, I have been nurturing myself in loving ways, saying I AM affirmations, saying prayers every morning, setting intentions, saying beautiful and kind words to myself in the mirror and writing in my gratitude journal.Furthermore, because I have been giving to myself, and I can now give more to my friends, family and creative projects.

On a physical level, I used to have meat in my diet and strive to have the perfect body. Now I care less about the perfect body, societal standards of beauty and what people think. I choose to allow infinite energy to fill me up with love by doing yoga, breathing meditations, and being a vegetarian. 

On a mental level, I didn’t feel the power and creativity within me to launch my creative business. IAMU has helped me shift this already! My business is already going very well and I have many creative ideas. I barely have to do anything and it just works! It’s all energy and intentions!

A super highlight of IAMU has been learning Accelerated Healing. Every time I experience physical pains or negative thoughts, beliefs and patterns I can clear those emotions completely by myself. Accelerated Healing works wonders! I also give Accelerated Healing sessions to others and am already making money. I’m so excited to be doing this healing work and getting paid really well for doing something I enjoy!

3 Months after Graduation:

Before IAMU, I didn’t feel the power and creativity within me to launch my holistic practice. IAMU has helped me shift this already! My business is already going very well and I have many creative ideas. I barely have to do anything, and it just works!

Gao Xeng Lee

3.5 Months the Program:

I am absolutely in love with the University of Mount Shasta! IAMU has over delivered everything in terms of transforming me physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I came in with so many heavy emotions, mindsets, habits, and negative beliefs about myself. I was depressed and slowly dying inside. Ever since being here, my life and happiness have accelerated dramatically! I always loved to draw and create when I was young, but was stagnant since high school. Through all my healing I’ve reconnected with my inner child and I have started water coloring, poetry, drawing, and writing again! 

My scattered, anxious, and ungrounded energies have now become more focused, confident, and present. My health is slowing recovering from lack of energy to infinite energy and from poor sinus breathing to more proper breathing.  All of the powerful tools and information have enabled me to conquer my health and ignite my long lost creativity. 

One of my greatest breakthroughs was trusting my healing abilities after I cleared 14 trapped emotions blocking me from trusting my muscle testing. Ever since I cleared them, I have become increasingly confident in my abilities and trusting of my intuition. It was also amazing to give a one hour healing session to my client and receive my first payment of $50.00! This was a major blessing and I cannot wait for more abundance the universe has in store for me!

I used to distrust myself, but now I am more aligned with my intuition and my truth. Instead of my constant victim mindset, I have claimed my divinity as the creator of my life and joy.  Never before have I felt so authentic, powerful, intuitive, peaceful, and creative! I love the person I am becoming everyday and I am so grateful to be liberated. I am truly blessed and honored to be a student of Joa and Maqua as they teach me to love myself, forgive myself, others, and embrace my gifts.

The University of Mount Shasta has transformed my life completely. I thought I was coming to a holistic school just to heal myself. However, I was welcome by my instructors Joa and Maqua who are more than instructors. They are family, friends, and mentors to me.

They loved me exactly where I was at and taught me how to love and nurture myself, something I was never taught how to do nor thought I was worthy of. They showed me that when I am in pain and at my lowest, I deserve more love not less. They encouraged me to take risks, to go beyond all my limitations in healthy ways, and gave me the tools to step out being a victim and become the creator of my life.

Over and over again I forgave myself, others, and the world for anything we did knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously to one another. Over and over I learned and relearn how to love myself. And when I love myself more, I find out I can only love deeper and greater than what I had originally thought possible.

In all the places I thought I couldn’t love, I discovered I truly can love it all.

So whatever you think you can’t love, you’re here to learn that you can love it.

And as cliche as it sounds, I realized LOVE is the only thing I could take with me at the end of my life.

Already I have met and introduced myself to over 47 new incredible people from all walks of life in my 8 months here in Mount Shasta than I have in the past 25 years of my life. It made me realize how connected we are as beings and how powerful we impact one another just by being who we are and connecting.

And through all my healing, I have finally reignited my soul’s creativity again which I had abandoned since high school. I discovered I am an artist (I always wanted to be an animator when I was young), storyteller, writer, poet, listener, and now holistic healer and coach.

Never before have I been more excited to live my life to the fullest knowing happiness, love, and serving is my greatest soul purpose.

IAMU has given me back my life and wherever I go I will always carry Mount Shasta for with me in my heart. IAMU will always be home to me in Mount Shasta.

My happiness and my healing is my gift to change the world.
Happiness is closer than I think, it’s who I truly am and it’s who you truly are. Finally I can say I am Free at last.

IAMU Life Empowerment Workshop Feedback

When I got to the workshop I was intrigued to learn about the methods and teaching Joa and Maqua had to offer. I felt it was synchronicity the way I met Joa and the commonality with IAMU, hypnosis etc. And after experiencing Journey to Telos, I felt drawn to Maqua as well. In summary, I felt I needed to be here and get to know Joa and Maqua better. After the workshop, I feel I am on a new stage of my journey. I am drawn to the mountain, forest and rivers where I know deeper integration will take place. That being said, I feel this has been an important part of my journey and I am shifting as I write this, and I feel that new pathways are opening up. I am grateful and very appreciative of the gifts you both have shared. I am very happy for both Joa and Maqua that they are living their soul’s calling. The people that you are bringing in and the loving environment that you share is a beautiful physical representation of this. Thank you! May beauty, peace, love, harmony, passion and adventure always fill this world, your lives and beyond!

– Daniel H.

Before I got to the workshop, I felt anxious and excited because I knew in my gut something awesome was going to happen. I did not have any expectations, yet only the feeling of excitement about what I would learn. After the workshop, I feel like I am where I need to be and what I am doing is for my highest good, but also for the world too. It was only possible because of both Joa and Maqua. Each and every day of the workshop I felt like I was more aligned with my truth and through all the cleansing and healing I can feel and touch my dreams and goals, as they are already here.  I will now most definitely let the healing, practices and energy work fully kick in and see how they integrate. I know in my heart, as I continue to do my healing work, more and more greatness only comes out if it. Big thanks to Joa and Maqua!

-Nhou L., Mount Shasta

I felt a little anxious coming to the workshop, somewhat disconnected and unfulfilled. Now that I have gone through the weekend, I feel more connected, grounded and complete- a feeling of wholeness. I reconnected with my soul during this experience. I am looking forward to more interactions with Joa and Maqua. Thank you both!

– Tim B, Medford Or

Before the workshop, I felt out of balance, anxious and a lack of creativity. Something was holding me back from taking responsibility for my life and happiness. After the workshop, I feel so much lighter now. So many heavy energies and negative core beliefs were lifted. I feel worthy and blessed to be alive. I am truly a gift to this world. I am now in touch with my feminine energy and creativity. I can’t wait to create my inventions! If I could describe this three day workshop in one word it would be MAGICAL. I learned when I am in alignment with my joy and truths, miracles happen. Thank you Maqua and Joa for this amazing, healing and empowering workshop. Now I can create and share my joy!

-Nickhom L., Mount Shasta Ca

When I arrived to the workshop, I felt a bit anxious and also perplexed as to why I was doing what I was doing. I knew I was attracted to UMS, but I was not quite sure specifically why or what. I felt a bit “wobbly,” but also excited and interested. Now I feel as though I am a lot more grounded, composed and integrated together. I feel as though there is still quite a bit to process, and I am grateful for the opportunity and expansion. I found great affirmation, support and even synchronicity within the group. I am very happy and grateful. Thank you!

-Cameran F.

I have been feeling that I have something to understand relating to my spiritual guidance in life and I feel so much better now! Four years ago I made the goal to come to Mount Shasta and here I am!I am so grateful to have discovered this spiritual school that Joa and Maqua have opened to the world. Thank you for sharing with those who want to listen and to learn about the truth and love. With all my best wishes for peace profound, thank you!

– Patrick P., France

I was very hopeful that I would have breakthroughs during the workshop, but I had no idea what they would be. I have been feeling heavy hearted, broken hearted, fearful and powerless. I was worried about finances and my job and feeling sad and like a victim. After the workshop I feel light, happy, connected to my heart and I feel LOVE! I feel empowered. I feel life can finally move forward and there is a career path for me to explore. I will definitely continue to take classes and do workshops with Joa and Maqua!

I am truly enjoying my first six days of learning at the University of Mount Shasta with Joa and Maqua.The learning was very personal, dedicated, knowledgable and FUN! From being in Mount Shasta and at this school, I have felt my vision and relationship with others starting to change and shift. I have truly become happier and appreciate more what is surrounding me. Thank you very much!

I have felt great shifts in my life, career, relationships and spirituality.I am willing to make changes, take risks and willing to give more love. Emotionally, I feel peaceful, grateful and in joy most of the time.Physically, I have started to exercise again and am sleeping well.It is so wonderful to experience my life shifting so much. Thank you Joa and Maqua!

Sanary Lim

6 days Into the Program:

Six days into the Spiritual Psychology/Holistic Healing program and I have already experienced major transformational shifts in my life.UMS has been everything I expected and more. Joa and Maqua have really created a safe and sacred learning environment to not only help us work through  our own personal energetic blockages, but have already provided life changing tools to heal and transform lives in the future. I am so excited to see where the 8 months will take us and am incredibly humbled and honored to be a part of such a powerful and heart-centered program. 

In just a short period of time, I already feel my vibration raised, much more energy and my mood has been uplifted. I came here to discover my soul’s mission, true purpose and life career and I have no doubt that UMS will fulfill this and much, much more. Deepest gratitude and love!

3.5 Months the Program:

These last 3.5 months in the program at UMS have been life changing and beyond my expectations. So far, we have learned powerful tools and invaluable information that has transformed my life from the inside out. UMS has guided us towards the path of freedom and empowerment. These tools we have learned to heal ourselves are the same tools we use to heal others by raising our vibration from within, as well as the collective consciousness.I have gained much more clarity, confidence and self-love. My relationships with others, as well as with myself have become much healthier and heart-centered. I am thriving emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually and am so excited to see what’s in store for the following months. I have so much gratitude for UMS and would highly recommend this program for those who are ready to transform their life towards success, happiness, peace and liberation.

6 Months Into the Program:

I am absolutely loving school. I’m grateful every single day for the work we’re doing and the things that we’re learning. Reflecting back on the first couple days of school compared to now, it’s amazing how much my energy has shifted and how much heaviness has been cleared for me. The intention of me coming to this program was to discover my purpose and to figure out how I was going to help and heal others and it’s all coming together now. I have gotten so much from UMS – from IQM to Accelerated Healing to Conscious Breathing to Happiness Recovery and all that is still to come. I feel like I am going to have so much to offer at the end of this program and to see that everything I am learning is already working so far and seeing the energetic shifts people are experiencing through my sessions is amazing. I’m so grateful, I’m all in, and fully committed. I’m loving every single thing that we’re learning and I love seeing how much I have changed as an individual and also how much others are benefiting from this. Love, love, love!


Jamie Galarza

6 days Into the Program:

I’m six days into the program and I already know a lot of things about myself that I didn’t know. I had a lot of baggage in my heart that was repressed and came up during class.

Recently, I lost my father and I felt depressed and empty. With Joa’s kindness and compassionate words, I no longer feel like my father is gone. He’ll always be in my heart.

3.5 Months the Program:

I am 3.5 months into the program and I am learning so much about myself. Every day I am growing more spiritually and personally. Nowadays, I am more positive and I feel more confident in my abilities. I feel like there is still so much learning I have to do and this makes me excited for the rest of the program.

6 Months Into the Program:

What I’ve most enjoyed about the program is the self reliance that I’ve learned. I joined the program because I felt like I wasn’t really in control of my life and I wasn’t really doing things that I’ve wanted to do in my life. Now I’ve found that I am really interested in healing in a more holistic way. I was raised to always be into the scientific method, but now I feel a lot more independent from the healing that I can do on my own. I used to live very much on the physical level of the world, and something that I’ve really been able to obtain in this program is to live in the spiritual level too. The chakra oracle is one of my other favorite things about the program. It allows me to longer run to the world to be safe. I feel a lot more independent, confident, self-reliant ad like I can manage my life. The program is challenging in terms if working on yourself and remembering that we’re at the spiritual level, but I am so glad that I’ve been able to make the switch.

Anne Henning

6 days Into the Program:

I am six days into my Masters Program in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Mount Shasta. It has been a welcoming experience. I have felt genuine love and kindness not only from my instructors, but from my classmates, as well.Coming in, I knew this was going to be “outside the box”, so I did not form any expectations. My only desire was to learn.I wonder what my experience will be leaving and coming back. I was going to do the program from afar, but now want to come back for some classes in person.

3.5 Months the Program:

I have felt changes in my life. Everything seems to be building on each other. I started having back pain and then the class helped me remove the trapped emotion of “unsupported”. I could finally realize how I am the creator and I am attracting “unsupported” into my life. Shortly after we re-explored our conception, where I absorbed “unsupported,” we re-explored our birth where I realized I had multitudes of cords, obligations, and other blocked emotions in my sacral chakra. No wonder the pain just won’t go away. This program is helping me make the changes I need and filter out what is not good for me as I realize that I AM the creator of my life. Learning my history through my unconscious has helped me forgive myself as I AM not my emotions – these emotions can be cleared. I feel grateful that I have these tools in my basket for when I need them. I just have to use them. That is why I am appreciative of our weekly class that checks in with us regarding our accelerated healing work.

6 Months Into the Program:

I knew that I wanted to do healing on myself, I was ready for change and something was missing in my life. When I found UMS, it met all the check marks I was looking for. I came to the school with no expectations and now that we are half way into the program, I’ve become a believer in all of the healing. It’s painted a new outlook for me, how I view people, how I view myself, how I view souls. I like the practice we do with each other. I look forward to our sessions together, it’s like free therapy and they are amazing. Now I’m able to see the work that I can do with others to help them, and I like it!

1 Year After Graduation:

This has been a magical year for me!  I want to express my gratitude for the divine bringing you into my life’s path. My dream of living in Hawaii became a reality; not to mention the Prosperity Course put things into motion! Loving my abundance and sending you both love and Aloha vibes!!!

Holly B.

6 days Into the Program:

The first week of the UMS M.A. in Spiritual Psychology Program has already had a significant impact on who I am, what I am and my life trajectory. Delving deep into my psyche from day one and learning powerful tools to help myself heal and grow has been a roller coaster but very positive experience. I look forward to the day I can call myself a Spiritual Psychologist and help others.

3.5 Months the Program:

I remember writing a review of UMS after only 6 days in the program and being impressed by how deep we delved into the psyche. Three and a half months in now feels like an internal emotional roller coaster, I like roller coasters, so this is a good thing. The techniques we learn and utilize on ourselves and classmates (before practicing on willing participants) have been truly life altering. My life, my relationship with myself as well as my loved ones is much richer, much less tumultuous and so much more loving. I feel gratitude every day for the ways in which my life has improved and I’m excited to help heal others, so they too can live a fuller, richer life.

I have started my Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Mount Shasta on September 30th, 2018 and this is my 6th day.It has been an amazing experience in knowledge growth and personal growth.If Spiritual Psychology/Holistic Healing is your passion, UMS is the right choice and Mount Shasta is the perfect place.Maqua and Joa are amazing mentors and faculty.

Sam A.

6 days Into the Program:

When I first arrived at University of Mount Shasta, I was nervous. I did not know anyone, and after six days of being here, I feel so close to everyone in the room. I felt there were moments when I was taken out of my comfort zone, but Joa and Maqua and all of the students have made this a safe space where I feel comfortable telling my truth.I am enjoying all of the inner work I am doing. I am also enjoying being able to learn something new from everyone here.

Nicole Young

2 Weeks Into the Program:

During the first days of attending UMS it was revealed to me through pH testing and kinesiology  (muscle testing), how out-of-body I have been.  I have been living in my mind.  This inspired me to start working out, walk on the earth, practice the I AM Breath and BreathPlay every day  to feel happier in my own skin and become certified as a Conscious Breathing Coach. 

4 Months Into the Program: 

UMS has been a major blessing. I’ve learned so much. I am stepping up with my power, wisdom and authentic self. I am gaining skills and wisdom in emotional health and intelligence. The techniques are stripping away all that I’m not, but thought I was. I’m finally being vulnerable and my heart is opening. Most importantly, I’m learning to love myself and make decisions that honor the love I have for myself. I can see through the illusion. I don’t have to hide anymore. I really love the safety that UMS provides to heal from life. The certifications are great. I feel like the practical work to get the certification really prepared me for life after school. The text books are all amazing and valuable. The experiential component works really well for learning the skills and techniques. Lightbody yoga and breath work have made a huge difference in my life. I love UMS.

4 Months Into the Program:

 I enjoy my education at UMS. Each weekend is devoted to necessary learning tools that will help me become an awesome spiritual counselor/coach. Joa always has our lesson organized, and we can expect to learn exactly what is on our schedule. I am learning things I never knew before. Each class session is intensely hands-on, and the one-on-one coaching is the best part. All the students work with each other so we all get individual attention. Joa has the ability to see our strengths and our weaknesses. He has a nonjudgmental style that encourages me to feel comfortable asking for help when I am confused. Often, he anticipates each student’s needs without us asking.  Often we share things that are emotionally charged. We are always treated with dignity, respect, and kindness,  and my confidentiality is always respected. I feel totally comfortable and grateful to be able to share in such a deep way in this safe space.

This education is tailored to each student’s growth. Thank you Joa for tending to our needs first. It is good to feel appreciated and personally supported. Check-in’s, Yoga,  Conscious Breathing, and spontaneous walks are extremely helpful. Acknowledgements help me feel more connected, supported and validated. I have grown tremendously in only 4 months here at UMS, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  I feel accelerated in my growth as a person. I am motivated to help my community and to help others grow.UMS has given me invaluable tools to grow in my lifetime and build confidence in myself. Taking care of myself is my #1 priority. Once I master that, I can do my authentic work and help others. UMS really pinpointed my mission in life and I feel proud to help others feel good and inspire them to be their Authentic Self.

Upon Completion of the Program:

I was uncertain of where my life was going.  I was unclear and unfocused. Now I am clear and confident on what I want to do in my life – to help people in my favorite ways. I have a great support system and loving motivation to go above and beyond.
My level of confidence with moving forward with my holistic practice is an 8 because I just realized my new niche today, helping athletes overcome their psychological blocks and I know my confidence will continue to increase as I keep practicing and learning.

4 Months Into the Program: 

Coming to UMS is a journey. I am on the path to self fulfillment. I have learned more about myself these first four months than I have in my entire life. I feel whole. There is so much transformation happening on all levels,  and I already feel  empowered.  I feel like a butterfly that is breaking through her cocoon and unfurls her wings. I am breaking down walls. I am claiming my power. I am learning who I am. The school is such a blessing. I feel that I can be me. I am still learning who that is, but all I can say is that she is powerful, a force to be reckoned with,  and truly, joyfully learning what it means to be human. What it means to be myself. I feel safer than I have in years, and it is due to this school and Joa’s passion and commitment to personal growth. I am learning what it means to go spiritually deep, and learning what it means to be me. I am incredibly happy that this opportunity presented itself in my life. I look forward to the growth my transformation will bring. I am beginning to know my Self, and that is the greatest gift I have ever been given. A gift given to me, from me. I am truly grateful for this journey into my heart.

Ana, Dawan, and Carleen

Carleen Goetze

UMS was exactly what I needed. Everything came at the perfect time.  My growth this year has meant so much to me.  As a result of attending UMS,  I feel more confidence and trust in myself than I’ve ever had before.  The inner strength I have reached… I never would have reached this point if I had not come to California and attended this school. This includes my experience here in Mount Shasta; the people I’ve met.  I have awakened to myself.  Only 2 years ago I was in the state of mind I have to get a degree, get a job, have a family and live that so called American dream that is such ridiculous bullshit. And the Universe came along and said “No, this is not for you”.   And it led me to massage school which opened my mind, and then I knew I wanted to go into Holistic Psychology. I googled holistic psychology and UMS was the url that appeared.  I called Joa for an interview, and after I hung up, I knew I was going, and this was the best decision of my life.  After completing this program,  I feel a lot more relief and calm.  I feel more freedom, SO MUCH MORE FREEDOM! No let me reframe that… I AM FREE!  Ha Ha Ha! I am happy.  I feel this connection in myself I am loving myself.  I am able to recognize too, when I have negative thoughts coming up that bother me the fact that have these tools and understanding is such a relief. Additionally, to have this greater understanding of universe and energies, and to know what is going on;  even knowing when sometimes I get these feelings that seem heavy, foreign and toxic, to realize, “Oh, this isn’t really me. This is something else.  And to be able to clear it instantly is such a relief.  At UMS I learned how to set my self free from whatever blocks my happiness, and now I laugh a lot and I’m more creative than ever before.

Dawan Bradley

Before attending UMS, I was experiencing the lowest point in my life. After a painful ending of my career at thattime, I felt deep shame, depression, sadness and sorrow, and was full of suicidal and vengeful thoughts. I was lost in negative energy with a lack of direction or course to take to proceed further through life. I thought life wasn’t worth living anymore and someone more worthy should take my place; I had lost my purpose, my faith in myself and others.

Now in the program, my life is already changing. I don’t feel those heavy feelings, but if they do come up, I know how to let them go.  UMS has been a safe and nurturing environment for me to learn a versatile curriculum of skills and certifications for my physical, mental, and spiritual growth. One skill that was challenging yet beneficial for my personal growth is Inner Bonding, a method that got me looking within myself to find what I really need and want in my life,  and as a result, have a gained new and positive perspectives. 

I appreciate Joa as a Spiritual teacher because he accepts you for you, with no judgements. He incorporates not just his spiritual teachings and findings but presents other renowned teacher’s methods to enhance a broader understanding and mastery of  spiritual psychology, holistic healing, and life coaching.  I recommend anyone who is interested in these fields as a new career, or even more so to expand their spirituality to higher levels. 

Remaya

UMS provides transformation in deep levels of the human experience that are normally overlooked – in service to the greater good for myself and everyone I relate to.  I see the ripple effects of my own changes effecting positive change in others around me.

Ana Noriega

Usually just before coming to each UMS class, some life issue is welling up inside me,  and without fail the class addresses my issue and empowers me to heal it, without me even having to mention it. UMS changed my life.  The grounding and self healing work allowed me to open to my higher self and spirit guides. I practice Accelerated Healing, and go beyond it to hear healing messages directly, and I am so grateful to the paid! Thank you for opening me up!

I am so grateful for all the knowledge, experience and transformation from participating in the I AM U masters program. I feel so much gratitude and deep joy as my life is upgraded and uplifted on all levels.

The teachers are excellent and all the information is valuable, as it transformed my life. I found the techniques I was looking for. I love that the classes were small, so there was time to work on our core issues. 

I’m a physical level, I feel more focused on accomplishing the goals I set. I am more free to materialize my ideal life and I am confident that it is going to happen! I have more willpower and trust and faith in my path. I have more patience and feel more trust in the divine timing of things.

On the emotional level, I feel more joy, peace acceptance and having the tools for clearing and going deep into every issue – is awesome. I am so grateful.

I’m in the mental level, I definitely feel more focused and connected to following my fulfilling life. I develop trust and love for myself and I am capable to doing my life’s purpose. I contact daily with my inner guidance for clarity. And even those days that I do not, I am more gentle with myself in my process.

On the spiritual level, I feel more and more the support of my spiritual guides, angels, archangels, Sprotual masters and the teachers of I AM U. You are awesome. 

The IAMU Masters program opened up new possibilities in my career. Empowerment Coaching and the healing techniques are great tools for me to work with teens. I see myself using them in my future business.

In my relationships, I’m speaking my truth more and more. This year it has been so much learning in my relationships. As a change my focus of attention from relationships that leak my energy, to being able to settle down in one committed relationship – I now trust as possible.

Thank you Joa and Maqua for your work, dedication, ethusiasm, and commitment.

Classes at UMS are a life-changing experience. I did not recognize how much learning and growing I still had to do.

While attending UMS, I feel there is something magical working in my life. I see things with different perspective. There is an expansion in everything around me. It feels right. It feels home. My special path is the most important. Every day I learn something new. I love it.
