MartinJon: Chicago Wellness Coach & Tao Te Ching Guide

For over two decades, MartinJon has used 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 pull away from us. He hosts Tao of the Day, the world's only live daily talk show dedicated to the Tao Te Ching, now in its sixth year, and has authored his own New English Version of the text.

Helping those who help is at the core of his work.

The people who hold up organizations — therapists, social workers, peer support specialists, nurses, parents, caregivers of every kind — are often the least likely to get support themselves. That gap is where burnout lives. MartinJon's practice exists to close it.

His Recover Yourself methodology is built on a simple premise: emotional stability isn't a luxury for helpers, it's a prerequisite. Whether you're a professional in the helping field or caring for an aging parent, the most powerful thing you can do for the people you support is to recover yourself first. Not recover from something — recover to the full life that's waiting.

MartinJon works with individuals through 1-on-1 coaching, Tao Te Ching readings, and psychoenergetic portrait healing sessions. He works with organizations as a consultant, bringing practical wellness strategies that improve both employee wellbeing and organizational health. His Recover Yourself workshop is NAADAC-approved continuing education for professional counselors and rehab specialists.
