Meet Jim Allen

For 30 years, Jim Allen has taught thousands of kids and adults how to walk tall, achieve natural health, develop loving relationships, and create a higher quality of living for themselves. As a coach, mentor and healer, Jim is certified in martial arts, qigong therapy and energy medicine.

Prior to 1997, he taught martial arts as a primary instructor for 14 years at the #1 ranked karate school in the U.S., and had been successful as a professional musician and recording artist, landscape designer and contractor, and nationally awarded dog trainer. Rather than seeking competition, Jim has always known to seek to be his personal best and not compare himself to others.

In 1998, Jim earned his certification as an Energy Instructor. It was during this time that Jim began studying, collaborating and co-treating clients with Naturopathic Doctors, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Nutritionists, Chinese Medical Doctors, Counselors, Therapists, Alternative Healers and Qigong Masters. While traveling abroad, he also received Tao training and induction with a 24th generation Taoist Master.

Jim has always had a passion for preparing food. He apprenticed as a sushi chef and gained further experience working in select restaurants. He designed and opened one of the most southerly positioned Mexican restaurants in the world called "Cafe De Paz" located on the South Island of New Zealand. After a short time with Cafe De Paz, Jim returned to pursuing his life passion of healing and uplifting human consciousness.

Jim became inspired to write a personal vision about the potential future of education that places mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness as the goal. While researching instructional models, he saw that children were being overly mentally stimulated and not learning about the most fundamentally essential aspects of life itself. He saw that children's hearts were being closed instead of being opened to their natural state of receptivity and expression. Motivated to make educational change, he founded the Inspirational Learning Academy in 2007.

The Inspirational Learning Academy (ILA) is a fully supported project of International Humanities Center, a 501[c](3) nonprofit public charity created in 1998 to foster social and ecological justice, as well as efforts in the realm of peace, education, women's and children's issues, and animal rights.

The Academy itself first opened in Sedona, Arizona as an independent full time education program for children age 11-14 who were experiencing behavior and learning difficulties that the "system" was failing to resolve. The program was a small success but only remained open for 1 year. Upon closing the Academy in Sedona, Jimmy began working privately for parents, children, teachers and therapists dealing with problems that the "system" was failing to address. He was overwhelmingly reminded at the importance of helping parents (and hopefully teachers) overcome the false belief in "victimhood", end their cycles of blame, and accept full responsibility for creating their own experience in their lives.

Jim naturally connects to people's feelings and needs. He is passionate about helping people see their own beauty, become liberated from the illusions of negativity and see themselves for who they really are. He believes that to be a leader he must always strive to be mature, positive, optimistic, enthusiastic, strong, noble, self disciplined, confident, inspiring, fair, honest, supportive, considerate, respectful, honorable, merciful, humane, non-reactive, relaxed, accepting, honest, expressive and appreciative.

He believes the conditions of humanity will be uplifted as more people strive to live a life of non-violence, integrity, honesty, high consciousness, consideration, acceptance, respect and non-judgment.

Jim is fully committed to developing his own Self Mastery and continues to study, research and train under the best healers, mentors and guides accessible. He enjoys sharing his discoveries and wisdom with others.
