"Over the last 6 months, the Birthing Life guidance calls with Baba Jaiya John have been life altering to say the least. In my experience, they are much more than a “call” - they are  ceremonies of remembering what is truly sacred about living within the complex context of our unique personal and collective becomings. As a writer, facilitator, and person of African-Asian diasporic ancestrality, it has been rare to find a spiritual and creative teacher/mentor of such artistic calibre, multi-dimensional awareness, and ancestral vibrancy that Jaiya embodies. After a decade of learning with wise and indigenous healers and elders from around the world, I can put my hand on my heart and say that Jaiya is included as one of those treasured healers and wisdom-keepers. It is an understatement to say that his mentorship, affection-ship, and deep presence is a rare, bright guiding light in these initiatory times we live in. I think that anyone who gets to sit with Jaiya will inevitably be blessed. My deep gratitude to you, always, Jaiya."

”It was a special kind of space, of magic, of remembering and becoming that is hard to put into words. What words do we use for being seen, held, nurtured, and shown a mirror of ourselves all in a container of safety and divine love. It felt like ‘wholeness’ and so if you are drawn to this, your heart is leading you there for exactly what you need. I’m still working through the many layers and blossoming that happened in this shared hour, but I feel grateful to have life turned into poetry, a song and dance of the human heart, for an entire hour.”

The Birthing Life session with you was an incredible experience and it feels like it changed my life forever. It’s a precious gift that i feel deeply blessed to have experienced and it sustains me and my work on this earth on a deep level. I feel eternally grateful for your endless kindness of sharing your light.”

“Fellowshipping with Jaiya feels like healing a wound that has long been open with no soothing.  A resonance, frequency, vibration that you know you’ve been needing but have never quite experienced in this way before. A reminder that family, friends, colleagues, community and kindred spirits are never too far away.  I am very grateful for the poetry, the words, the safe space and the holding while navigating this terrain called earth that all of us must travel.”

— Chasten H.


“You are worth every single penny and so much more. I can’t express how much of a privilege it was to have this opportunity to connect with you one-on-one. It’s something I truly didn’t take for granted. Our call was so nourishing—like a warm hug for my soul. I didn’t know exactly how it would go, but it unfolded so naturally, and that’s a testament to the care and intentional energy you brought to the space. You have such a gift for listening, and the way you offer feedback and share your perspectives is truly invaluable. Spending time with someone as rare and genuine as you is something I’ll always treasure. Thank you for holding space for me, for the laughter, the insights, and the thoughtful conversation. It meant so much more to me than words can express.”

“I share this not to impress your readers; rather, to impress upon them: take action. You deserve this. Your soul deserves this. In Sep 2024, I had the privilege to actively participate in my first Birthing Session with you, Dr. Jaiya John. Your written words have soothed and healed many of my wounds, expanded my mind, unearthed my soul. In reflection, our conversation enabled me to connect with the root cause of my suffering. You gently held space for me to share as a trusted confidant, nurturing mentor, a loving father, a protective brother. You helped me to challenge my limiting beliefs, and validated the deepest yearnings of my soul’s fire. Your reciprocity, transparency, and humbleness allowed me to remove the masks and sit with myself. Our session was a pillar in birthing my newly forming foundation and ignited the path for change, transformation, and expansion. With deepest gratitude, I thank you for sharing your purpose and gifts with me as I continue to savor being the artist of my beautiful life.”

“I wish i could book a session every week. It was truly a beneficial, non therapy therapeutic session. Every moment in our session felt like a soothing embrace, a conversation where words became salve and silence, a sanctuary. It was beyond guidance. It felt like a remembering of the parts of myself I had unknowingly neglected. Dr. Jaiya John, your wisdom didn’t just touch my mind but also my spirit, leaving me with deeper clarity and inner peace more than I already had. It was the kind of connection that holds you long after the conversation fades. My heart is full of gratitude for this life-giving experience. Thank you 🙏🏼🤲🏼🕊️💛💫”

"How can I put into words how it feels to be in conversation with Dr. Jaiya? It is so much more than just a conversation. It is a meeting of souls. He not only hears your question, your stuckness, he feels it and is able to beautifully articulate an opening that allows you to see the way forward. My heart is wide open and I feel filled with possibility and hope.  Dr. Jaiya has a gift for reflecting back to you what you truly are and with that, you can do anything. Thank you so much, Dr. Jaiya."

”Beyond the obvious reasons of laughter & going beneath surfaces, I appreciated the “no pressure to fill up the space with sound” that silence was more than enough. This was a juicy silence, a language all in its own, where ease made up the letters of its alphabet, one that said so much without a single word. One of the ultimate gifts was experiencing for the first time what my nervous system & heart is supposed to feel like in a deeply aligned embodied connection. This feeling is familiar to me I feel it when in my garden with my plants, it was beautiful to share it with a Holy *Hoooman. I felt safe. Truly safe. Fence where? Heart was already open but expanded even more. I take that with me as a way to recognize the ideal energy signature I’d like to experience in intimate conscious connections.”

Thank you for your presence in this world, at this time. I just have to say, and I pause, and say this out loud three times with my arms wide open. "Jaiya John, you light me up!" Your words, and your presence and the gatherings have changed me. I feel like I am drawn deeper into essence in your presence. Essence of unique genius, of love, of art—essence of what feeds life and heals. Essence of freedom. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the soul water. May more and more drink from this well. I think "dear artist" has made it to the top of my "most given away book" list. Right next to Martin Prechtel's Rescuing the Light and Francis Weller's Wild Edge of Sorrow. I am here to learn from you. My beloved and I both feel so grateful to be alive at the same time as you, we spread the seeds of your words everywhere we go.”

— Carl R.


”Thank you so much for a beautiful, reflective, insightful, and empowering Birthing Words session yesterday. It was JUST what I needed to trust in my own publishing process, and prepare to step out as an author despite a subconscious fear of success. Your lived example and embodiment of a conscious writer is inspiring. Many people wouldn't give themselves permission to be as bold as you have in sharing your words for collective liberation. So thank you.”
