About Debra Jones

My Story, My Path and My Passion

I’ve spent more than 27 years helping people navigate change, healing, self-discovery, and the sometimes messy process of becoming more fully themselves.

What I’ve learned along the way is simple:

You usually don’t need someone else to tell you who you are. You need the space, tools, perspective, and support to hear yourself more clearly.

That is the heart of my work today.

Whether you’ve arrived here because you’re looking for healing, standing at a crossroads, exploring who you really are, considering a new direction, learning how to trust yourself, or looking for meaningful connection with others, the work is ultimately about the same thing: coming home to yourself.

This Work Has Evolved With Me

I didn’t begin with The Debra Jones Path.

I began as someone who wanted to understand healing more deeply - because I had experienced what it meant to be supported by a healer when life felt overwhelming.

That experience changed me.

It showed me that real support isn’t about someone fixing you or telling you what to do. It’s about creating the conditions for you to reconnect with your own strength, wisdom, and capacity to move forward.

That became the foundation of my work.

Over the years, I trained in Reiki, energy healing, chakra healing, astrology, Human Design, PEMF and other integrative approaches. I became a teacher and mentor. I wrote books for healers. I built businesses. I created courses. I hosted a podcast. I worked with thousands of people.

And every experience kept bringing me back to the same realization:

Healing is not separate from self-discovery.
Self-discovery is not separate from growth.
And personal growth is not separate from how we live, work, relate, and contribute to the world around us.

That understanding is what shaped the work I offer today.

The Debra Jones Path

Today, my work is organized around five simple invitations:

KNOW YOURSELF

Understand your patterns, your strengths, your natural tendencies, and what makes you you.

This is where tools such as Human Design, astrology, and the I AM. Journey can help you see yourself with greater clarity - not to put you in a box, but to give you a more useful map.

TRUST YOURSELF

Learn to listen inwardly and develop confidence in your own knowing.

The Inner Compass work grew from years of watching people search outside themselves for answers when what they really needed was a way to reconnect with their own inner guidance.

BE YOURSELF

Once you know yourself and begin trusting yourself, the next question becomes:

What does it look like to actually live as yourself?

Your choices, relationships, work, creativity, purpose, and direction begin to come into focus.

This is the territory of the True North Journey - and of much of the mentoring and business work I have done with healers over the years.

HEAL YOURSELF

Sometimes clarity isn't enough.

We also need space to rest, release, restore, and reconnect.

My healing work brings together decades of training and experience in Reiki, chakra healing, energy work, and integrative healing approaches.

The intention is not to tell your body or your life what it should be doing, but to create supportive conditions for healing and restoration.

GROW TOGETHER

None of us is meant to do everything alone.

Connection, shared wisdom, encouragement, and meaningful contribution are an important part of the next chapter of my work.

This is expressed in two ways within The Debra Jones Path:

The Member's Community is a space for people who want to continue exploring, learning, and growing together beyond individual sessions or Journeys. It offers ongoing connection, shared resources, conversations, inspiration, and opportunities to deepen the work in community.

Red Tent Ontario creates a different kind of gathering space - a community where women can come together, connect, share wisdom, and support one another through the many seasons of life.

Both are rooted in the same belief:

We grow differently when we know we don't have to grow alone.

Finding your way back to yourself is powerful.

Finding your people is powerful too.

And sometimes, the next step in your journey isn't another answer - it's having a community with whom you can explore the questions.

Why So Many Different Things?

You may notice that my work doesn't fit neatly into one category.

I'm a healer.

A teacher.

A mentor.

An author.

A guide.

A student of human nature.

A lifelong learner.

A business builder.

A community creator.

And someone who has spent decades exploring the relationship between our inner world and the life we create around us.

I've studied and worked with many different approaches over the years - from Reiki and chakra healing to astrology, Human Design, personal development, energetic practices, and other integrative modalities.

I don't see these as competing systems.

I see them as different lenses.

Some help us understand ourselves.

Some help us heal.

Some help us recognize patterns.

Some help us make sense of change.

Some help us move forward.

And some simply give us language for something we already knew, somewhere inside.

My role isn't to decide which lens is right for you.

It's to help you find the ones that are useful - and then bring the focus back to you.

A Teacher, Author & Mentor

Long before The Debra Jones Path took shape, I was deeply involved in supporting healers and wellness professionals.

I wrote The Successful Healer: A Practical Guide for Holistic Health Practitioners to help practitioners build sustainable, authentic practices.

In 2025, I published New Age Healer: A Guide to Creating a Future-Focused Healing Business, reflecting the evolution of both my own thinking and the world in which today's healers are working.

I've also mentored practitioners, taught Reiki and chakra healing, created educational programs, appeared on television and podcasts, and hosted Own The Grey.

All of those experiences continue to inform the work I do now.

Because I don't just understand personal transformation from the perspective of a practitioner.

I've lived through my own seasons of change, reinvention, uncertainty, learning, and growth.

Red Tent Ontario

My work has also expanded beyond individual transformation into community.

As the founder of Red Tent Ontario, I'm helping create spaces where women can gather, connect, share wisdom, and support one another.

This matters to me because personal growth doesn't happen in isolation.

We need places where we can be witnessed.

We need people who understand.

We need opportunities to contribute, to learn from one another, and to remember that we are part of something larger than ourselves.

Red Tent Ontario is an expression of that belief.

What I Believe

I believe you are the expert on your own life.

I believe that healing is not about becoming someone else.

I believe self-awareness creates choice.

I believe clarity creates freedom.

I believe intuition becomes stronger when we learn to listen.

I believe our past can inform us without defining us.

I believe growth doesn't require abandoning who you are - it often requires becoming more fully who you already are.

And I believe that sometimes the most powerful thing another person can offer is not an answer, but a safe and thoughtful space in which you can discover your own.

That is the space I try to create.

The real qualification for this work is the years spent listening to people, learning from them, walking beside them, and continually deepening my own understanding of what it means to be human.
