Developing himself from being bullied, abused and traumatized into a Licensed Professional Counselor, Jon Labman.

Jonathan Labman was born in Trenton, New Jersey in the United States in 1955. He grew up in Pennsylvania, in Trenton suburbs. At 16, he won a scholarship to an international high school called the United World College of the Atlantic, in South Wales, UK, where he completed an International Baccalaureate degree. Jonathan has been fundamentally interested in human well-being, spirituality and psychology since the age of 15. During and after completing university at Covenant College, Jonathan lived in a Christian fundamentalist commune for several months in Santa Barbara California (1974), and an evangelical Christian co-operative community that devolved into a cult from 1978-1984. Following these experiences, he studied acting, movement, dance and voice in New York. Disillusioned with egotism, he turned to working with people in a healing capacity: first as a Licensed Massage Therapist, then Energetic and Psychic Healing, followed by a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology, and training as a Yoga teacher (500 hour certification). Jonathan has worked as a professional counselor since 2000. Jonathan has enjoyed the transition into Non-Dual Awareness, being spiritually Awake since July of 2001. He now teaches clients how to work with psychological distress and move towards spiritual awakening. He currently has four published books: An Ordinary Being (memoir); Simply Awake: Spiritual Enlightenment, the Simplest Thing; Taming the Three-Ring Circus of Your Mind; and Being Human and Waking Up: a guide for psychotherapy clients and enlightenment students (September 2023). He sees clients in person and in small groups, in the Doylestown, Pennsylvania area. https://www.simplyawake.com for more information.
