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 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.
