The Global Healing Institute was founded to deliver root-cause education that empowers individuals to reclaim their health through detoxification, nourishment, and conscious lifestyle practices.

The Real Story Behind Global Healing Institute
By Dr. Edward Group, DC

My journey didn’t start with a company. It started with people.

In the early 90s, I ran a clinic where I worked face-to-face with patients—watching lives transform as we addressed the true root causes of disease. We weren’t just managing symptoms. We were focused on the root causes through detoxification, spiritual alignment, and restoring the body’s natural healing power.

But then the system pushed back.

They didn’t like what we were doing—because it worked. And when you teach people how to heal themselves, you disrupt an entire industry built on dependence.

So they shut the clinic down.

At first, I was devastated. But it became one of the greatest turning points of my life. I realized they could take away a building, but they couldn’t stop the mission. They couldn’t stop truth. And they couldn’t stop me from sharing what I knew.

That’s when I founded Global Healing.

What began as a small line of natural detox formulas grew into something much bigger. I spent the next 30 years traveling the world, studying ancient healing systems, developing protocols, and helping people restore their health when nothing else worked.

But even with all the success, something was missing.

I missed the direct connection—that sacred moment when someone wakes up to their power and says, “I can heal.” I knew I needed to return to that. And I also knew the world needed more healers… not fewer.

That’s why I launched the Global Healing Institute.

To share everything I’ve learned over three decades. To give people the same tools, the same protocols, and the same blueprint I’ve used to help thousands. And to empower a new generation of health coaches and truth-tellers who aren’t afraid to go against the grain and lead with purpose.

This isn’t just a school. It’s a return to my roots. It’s a movement.

And if you’ve felt the calling in your heart, you’re not here by accident.

Welcome to the mission. Let’s heal the world—together.

Peace & Blessings,
Dr. Edward Group, DC

Meet the Team Behind the Mission

At the Global Healing Institute, we believe that true healing begins with education—and ripples out to transform the body, mind, and spirit.

Led by Dr. Edward Group, DC, our team is more than just staff—we are a collective of visionaries, educators, wellness innovators, media artists, musicians, writers, and student care specialists.

Each member of our team brings decades of wisdom, hands-on experience, and heart-centered purpose to everything we do. From soul-awakening curriculum and transformational content to healing music and compassionate student care—every element we create is shaped by individuals who have lived this work and are fully devoted to the path of transformation.

Every course, every gathering, every word we share is infused with depth, intention, and a shared devotion to one purpose: helping you reclaim your power and awaken the healer within.

This is what makes Global Healing Institute more than a school, it’s a phenomenon.

Lars Rain Gustafsson

Director of the Global Healing Institute

Born in a small village in India, Lars Gustafsson has always carried a deep curiosity for life, consciousness, and the inner workings of the human spirit.

The first chapter of his professional life unfolded in the world of sports and fitness, where he spent a decade guiding others toward physical transformation. A life-altering spiritual awakening then rewired his entire path, dissolving the limits of conventional coaching and igniting a new focus on holistic living. For the next ten years, Lars integrated spiritual awareness, nutritional detox, and energetic recalibration into his coaching philosophy, becoming a guide not only for the body, but for the soul.

Lars has spent the last 16 years immersed in the craft of online education, refining the art of course creation to translate profound teachings into accessible, transformational learning. It was an honor to be chosen to build the Global Healing Institute four years ago, and since then Lars has taken great joy in the rare privilege of shaping each course outline, every dimension of the student journey, and the architectural soul of the platform itself. Now living in a tiny forest home, he walks a solitary path of stillness and inner expansion, all while leading a brilliant team of entrepreneurs, visionaries, and healers across the realms of health, spirit, marketing, and personal development. His life is service, and his work is frequency in form.

Jenni Young

Social Engagement Architect

Jenni Young is a transformative thought-leader, bestselling author, producer, and celebrated photographer whose life’s work bridges the worlds of transformational media and holistic healing.

She is the co-founder of Simple Reminders, a global phenomenon with over 10 million followers, that reached billions monthly with messages of hope, awakening, and self-empowerment. Jenni is the co-author of the Simple Reminders book, a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller. Her writing and photography have been featured in The Los Angeles Times, Yoga & Joyful Living, Yoga Magazine UK, ORIGIN, LA Yoga, The Advocate, and shared across hundreds of beloved blogs and platforms, including Tiny Buddha, MindBodyGreen, Positively Positive, and The Daily Love. As an award-winning producer, Jenni’s projects have aired on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, CW Network, UPN, FOX, MTV, NBC, LIFETIME, and ABC Family. She holds a degree in business from the University of Georgia.

Jenni’s path to natural healing began in 1999, after she healed herself from a debilitating chronic condition that conventional medicine failed to resolve. That experience sparked a lifelong devotion to root cause healing and conscious living. Her mission deepened after the loss of her mother to cancer at just 65—an experience that reinforced her belief that toxic treatments like chemotherapy can often do more harm than good. Today, Jenni brings this lived wisdom and expansive media background to the Global Healing Institute, where she supports a global movement for detoxification, sovereignty, and personal transformation in body, mind, and spirit.

Anna Wolff

Director of Member Experience

Anna was raised on a small farm in northwest Indiana, where nature taught her presence, resilience, and rhythm.

She grew up an athlete, eventually racing internationally on the AMA Adventure Circuit in Southeast Asia. Her early life was rooted in movement and physical grit, but she was raised inside an allopathic framework that never fully aligned. That tension became the catalyst for her healing: unlearning inherited myths, reclaiming the body’s intelligence, and walking a path of truth-based restoration.

Over the past two decades, she has worked with teens facing trauma and PTSD, guided veterans through mindfulness and yoga at Camp Pendleton at Wounded Warrior Battalion West, and taught internationally at private American schools in Thailand and Dubai. There, she was able to immerse herself in five years of traveling the world. She holds a degree, a master’s, and certifications in special education, trauma-informed teaching, mindfulness, autism, nutrition, herbalism and 200-hour RYT yoga…and of course, she is a proud GHI graduate. She has also trained in frequency technology and integrated it into her coaching. She founded an online academy for middle and high school students, a virtual school rooted in freedom, sovereignty, and conscious leadership.

Today, she serves at the Global Healing Institute, helping translate Dr. Group’s teachings into practical, embodied wisdom for the students. She curates content, supports education, and brings a grounded limbic consciousness into every space she serves. She lives happily in rhythm with her family, sovereignty, and purpose.

GHI isn’t just where she works; it’s where she lives what she believes: your body is the healer, and truth is the medicine.

Jenner is an internet hound, conspiracy nut, proud new mom to a beautiful baby girl, and spiritual rebel on a mission to change the world.

Affectionately known as “the viral girl”, she has amassed billions of views as a social video magician for companies like BuzzFeed, Business Insider and Disney. She led all of Facebook and Instagram video at BuzzFeed and helped develop their original content strategy and teams for TikTok, overseeing 20+ producers across platforms. You may remember her super viral Everything is Cake video in the summer of 2020 that led to the now Is It Cake? Netflix show. 

She also served as Executive Producer for VidMob, an AI-powered marketing platform; started her career in branded content for clients like The Points Guy and Betterment; and served as Creative Director of Video at Golden Hippo, a $1B direct marketing company with brands like Dr. Gundry, Chuck Norris, Tony Horton, Katherine Heigl’s pet food, Dr. Marty’s pet food, and more.

She’s watched the internet and social video grow up — from its infancy with the launch of Facebook video in 2015, to its angsty senioritis on TikTok, and its send off to AI college today. 

Now that she’s left the halls of the media overlords, she works closely with brands that she cares deeply about like Dr. Group’s Global Healing Institute. It is her dream come true to be on this incredible team.

Michael Grossman

Admissions & Student Success Advisor

Michael Grossman was born in California and raised in a small town in Southern Arizona, where open skies, quiet landscapes, and cultural diversity shaped his early worldview.

His childhood was filled with sports — soccer, basketball, football, and track — experiences that fostered a deep love for movement, discipline, and teamwork. The loss of his grandmother to cancer and his own frustrations navigating allopathic medicine planted early seeds of questioning that would later deepen. In 2008, after the birth of his first child, Michael and his wife began a transformative journey into natural healing. His wife — the heartbeat of their family — inspired him with her devotion to clean living, conscious parenting, and holistic wellness. Together, they embraced detoxification, energy healing, and a toxin-free lifestyle that became the foundation of their family’s way of life. Michael spent nearly two decades in finance, from banking and trading to employee benefits and precious metals, before a powerful awakening in 2020 revealed the deeper distortions in modern medicine and education. Since then, he has been devoted to guiding others toward reclaiming their health, freedom, and spiritual sovereignty through coaching, detox, and truth-centered living.

Today, Michael serves as an Enrollment Advisor at the Global Healing Institute, a role that allows him to connect deeply with students called to become Natural Health Coaches. From his very first encounter with the certification courses, he felt an unmistakable resonance — a knowing that this mission was aligned with his soul’s path. In addition to guiding future students, he also supports the technical team to ensure a smooth and empowering experience for those within the GHI ecosystem. He finds joy in being part of a team that is visionary, service-oriented, and committed to raising the frequency of the planet through holistic education. Now living in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and children, Michael continues to walk the path he teaches. Whether hiking desert trails, playing frisbee or softball, mountain biking, or laughing with his kids, his lifestyle is a reflection of his values: health, presence, connection, and service — all rooted in faith and love.

Victoria Machorska

Victoria Machorska

Website & Media Design Specialist

Victoria was born and raised in Bulgaria, a beautiful country in Eastern Europe, where majestic mountains meet the sea.

Following the expectations of her environment, she studied economics and accounting, later diving into computer science and then becoming a teacher in mathematics and computer technologies. Yet, art remained her lifelong passion — a quiet force since childhood. Feeling uninspired in the rigid world of finance, she made a bold shift, merging her love for design with her technical expertise.

Deeply connected to nature and animals, she finds joy in trekking, diving, and exploring the world. She has traveled across the globe, and swimming alongside a whale shark remains one of her most powerful memories..

Her search for meaningful, soul-aligned work led her to the Global Healing Institute, where she was instantly drawn to the mission and energy of the team. Since joining, Victoria has felt deeply inspired by the people she collaborates with and the projects she contributes to. Each day, she embraces the creative challenges with an open heart, grateful to be part of a purpose-driven team that uplifts and empowers. To her, this isn’t just work — it’s a living expression of beauty, connection, and inspired service.

Justice

Justice Van Hoy

Student Care Specialist

Justice brings a “yes” attitude and steady support to the Global Healing Institute team, drawing on her background as both an executive assistant and a licensed esthetician.

She’s passionate about helping others feel cared for and confident as they navigate their wellness journey, and believes in the importance of meeting people where they’re at with compassion and respect. Justice’s journey into natural health began when she became a mother and started questioning the conventional systems she was taught to trust. With the support of a like-minded community, she discovered a deep passion for holistic living, homeopathy, and more natural ways of caring for her family.

She grew up on the Gulf Coast and has always felt most at peace near the water. Today, she travels the country in an RV with her husband and three children, building a life centered on faith, freedom, and simple joys. Her greatest roles are those of wife and mother, and her relationship with Jesus is at the heart of everything she does. Whether she’s supporting students, hiking a mountain trail, or paddle boarding across a quiet lake, she strives to show up with presence, gratitude, and a heart anchored in what matters most.

Susan Cohen B.Comm, DHHP

Education Content Curator

Susan Cohen B.Comm, DHHP started her professional education studying accounting and receiving a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University in Montreal.

Life bestowed wonderful children upon her, without whom her education could not have been as rich and broad as it became. The health challenges faced by all of her children pushed Susan to find alternative, non-invasive solutions that would heal without harming these precious beings. This road eventually led Susan to take courses in Chinese medicine and to study Jin Shin Do, Homeopathy, Heilkunst, Health Coaching, Transformative Medicine, Life Coaching, Wholistic Nutrition, BioGeometry, Psych-K, The Mind Detox Method… there’s more, the list is really long.

Susan has always been considered ‘different’ and has throughout her life had encounters of the weird and wonderful kind. Being a redhead boosted Susan’s uniqueness (just like everyone else)* and opened her up to experiencing life and sensations from an unconventional perspective.

Jana Elizabeth

Student Care Specialist

Jana lives in the far north of Finland where, along with supporting students at the Global Healing Institute, she leads an exciting life guiding travelers through the forests and fells in the midnight sun and polar night.

She grew up in Austria, where her early experiences sparked a deep curiosity about the true nature of health and healing. For her final exam in school, she chose to write her thesis about the Five Biological Laws of Nature, based on German New Medicine, which reframed illness as a meaningful, adaptive process. This exploration led her to consider studying medicine to help create positive change, but the thought of spending another five or more years in traditional institutions guided her toward a different path—one more rooted in creativity and freedom.

She left Austria to pursue a career as a professional musician, which was no surprise, as music had always shaped her spirit. Growing up in a musical family, she started learning instruments at age four and eventually focused on the recorder. In recent years, this evolved into intuitive playing, including native Indian flutes and other recorder-like instruments. However, something was still missing. So, on went the journey to Finland for an education to become a wilderness guide, in the hope of connecting more deeply to nature. During these diverse studies, Jana also deepened her knowledge and practice of shamanism, a holistic way to connect to oneself, the earth, and all living beings.

Jana continues to explore and share her discoveries and experiences with nutrition, coaching, breathwork, intuitive music, and the healing power of the natural world, to contribute to the shaping of a new era and generation of surrender and nature connection.

GHI Certification Guide

Kate Timmons was born and raised in the vast, wild beauty of Anchorage, Alaska. A child of nature, she always held deep,

unanswered questions and felt an early connection to the quiet wisdom found outdoors. Her love for health, movement, and the natural world laid the foundation for a life of compassionate service. For nearly fifteen years, Kate worked on the front lines of medicine as a critical care respiratory therapist, witnessing both the fragility of life and the painful shortcomings of a profit-driven system. A defining moment came in 2023 when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Choosing faith and holistic healing over fear, Kate walked beside her through a natural healing journey. Together, they proved that restoration is possible when the body, mind, and spirit are honored as one.

With a heart grounded in healing, Kate quietly carries a torch of transformation, inspiring those around her to live with intention and grace. As a devoted mother of four, she finds her greatest fulfillment in motherhood and the sacred responsibility of unschooling her children. In their home, life is slow, intentional, and creative—rooted in nature’s medicine, fermentation, fresh-milled sourdough, and the timeless art of making things by hand. Kate believes that we are sovereign beings, each born with divine purpose, and that prevention, knowledge, and conscious living are the true keys to freedom. Her mission is to empower others to reclaim personal responsibility and rediscover the sacred connection between lifestyle and longevity. This calling has led her to align deeply with the Global Healing Institute, where she continues to serve and grow in harmony with its seven core values: truth, compassion, simplicity, purity, love, faith, and wellness. Kate now walks forward as a protector of truth and guardian of humanity’s true essence—planting seeds for a future rooted in reverence, resilience, and collective healing.

“Having healthy children was our top priority. We recognized the power of living a toxic-free, chemical-free lifestyle, but what about the inner terrain? With Dr. Edward Group’s Fertility Protocol, we were able to easily become pregnant twice. This journey has been so transformative that we want nothing more than for everyone to experience this same success.
