MartinJon: Chicago Wellness Coach & Tao Te Ching Guide
For over two decades, MartinJon has used the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching as a living roadmap, not as philosophy, but as a daily practice for recovering the self that caregiving, trauma, and life have pulled away from us.
Helping those who help is at the core of MartinJon's Practice. As a nationally respected recovery specialist he is passionate about bring recovery solutions into organizations as well as to support individuals. To "Recover To," which is at the core of MartinJon's practice, is to thrive in every area of life. As a recovery mentor he offers individuals support to integrate and grow not only in recovery, but in life. As a consultant he offers companies strategies, tools and resources to increase the health and wellbeing of employees which improves productivity and output.
His recovery and personal growth has led him to understand that those who support can often not get, or accept, the support they need. This can lead them to feeling overwhelmed and experience burn out. And for many companies these are the people that hold up entire organizations.
Emotional stability is essential if we want to support others. Finding that is unique for each of us. Whether you are a Peer Support Specialist, Social Worker, Therapist, or find yourself caring for an elderly relative or being a parent, the best you can do for those you are caring for is to recover your Self. When we are living with anger, or trauma we can easily pass that pain onto those who we are caring for.
If you are a healer or caregiver and find yourself at the end of your rope at times, or embarrassed or ashamed at how you responded to a trigger, the best thing you can do is to use that to learn about yourself. That is the first step in Recovering Yourself.
MartinJon has developed this new form of psychoenergetic healing which utilizes the portraiture artform. He is always looking to connect with healers, as well as individuals within the sciences. The idea is to continue to work on new developments and discoveries within art and healing. The Recover Yourself Podcast is where you can get an overview of the ideas that recovering yourself covers.

The Tao Te Ching and Why It Works
The Tao Te Ching is the second most translated book in history. Its 81 verses offer a philosophy of non-resistance, self-awareness, and returning to one's natural state — everything modern burnout recovery is trying to achieve, written 2,500 years ago. MartinJon's work brings these teachings into practical, one-on-one and group sessions through Tao Readings, workshops, and daily guidance.
