docjo.'s 4 Metaphysical Tools
As there are user manuals and tools for doing things in the external world, there are also manuals and tools to handle our internal world. Without a manual and tool kit, the internal workings of the four bodies (physical, mental, emotional, and energetic) are in a perpetual state of chaos. However, with the right guidance and techniques, you can transcend the concepts, beliefs, programs and conditioning imposed on you, and return to the place where you rediscover, remember, and relaunch your next greatest and authentic version of You! The docjo. 4 Metaphysical Tools™ (T4MT) are a uniquely compiled set of tools drawn from, and infused by, ancient wisdom, quantum physics, science, philosophy and nature. They have been tested, measured, and proven to:
  • Raise your awareness about how you got to where you are
  • Gain a crystal-clear intention for where to from here
  • Produce a customized and personalized MAP for how to get there; and
  • Receive phase-by-phase guidance through the transformational and constant change process

What Others Have Said...

  • If you are also a counsellor, coach, or healer, the docjo. Metaphysical Tools are an invaluable addition to your repertoire. If you are looking to start your healing journey, are seeking greater self-insight or are in a rut and need some help to find your path, these tools are also for you. I can also highly recommend working with docjo. in a coaching capacity. Joanne is kind, will call you out when needed in a caring, authentic, and non-judgmental way, has an abundance of life experience and is just a wonderful person. She has a knowing sort of divine energy about her that you feel drawn and connected to. If you have found your way here, you are in the right place.

  • Joanne is part teacher, guide, strategist, and life alchemist! Her program takes a metaphysical approach to profound self-awareness and personal excellence. This experience helped with clarity and healing and brought an entirely new inspiration to my life.
    She provided me with all the tools and application guidance I needed to create a life by design. I encourage others to experience this journey and highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking to bridge the gap from their current conditions towards creating a new personal pathway to their true passions and life purpose!
    Laura C.
  • The docjo. Metaphysical Tools are transformational! Joanne’s self-coaching tool “Awareness + 1,2,3.” enables me to see deeply into self-deceptions and self-negations of my projections and reactions to people, places, and events.
    As a result the self-awareness and deeper insights I sought for myself are now a consistent part of my day-to-day reality!
    Creating my own MAP, for a clear pathway forward, has absolutely ignited new engagement levels with life.
    Doing the exclusive docjo. Tools training with Joanne is something you’ll definitely thank yourself for. I sure do!
    Earl H.
  • One might say that my life was somewhat overwhelming, complicated and challenging.
    Joanne’s Tools training and coaching are unique and work in a magical kind of way! Very quickly, I was able to gain an understanding of my programmed personality and conditioned behaviours like never before.
    After facing many undeniable truths, I was shown a way to define and design where to from here. This is done in a way that is practical and inspirational, making it an incredibly valuable tool in the forgiveness, healing, and moving forward process.
    Paula H.
  • From day 1, I immediately began to learn new things about myself, including my beliefs, programming, cultural conditioning, limited worldview, and values.
    I was guided on how to define, design, and develop a practical, sustainable, inspirational, and joyfully challenging road MAP for how to stop living my life-by-default and create a life-by-design instead that would deliver my heart’s desires.
    Two years on and I am delighted by how things have turned out. Jo's training includes the importance of reclaiming our consciousness and the technique for how to focus only where I want to live, and it is from this that I have achieved the imaginable and the unimaginable.
    Above all, I learned that anything is possible with the right information, knowledge and tools.
    Olalla Z.
  • My relationship with my partner was already good, but not quite at that ‘sacred’ level. We just didn’t have the practical tools and insights into the root causes behind certain behaviours or outcomes that we were experiencing in our relationship.
    One of the most noticeable changes we’ve experienced is how we deal with arguments. We’re now able to quickly move through a disagreement more effectively and with a deeper understanding of the other.
    I am incredibly grateful for the wisdom, tools and insights – both practical and transformational. We’re noticing such huge shifts and are feeling so much more joyful, closer, and more intimate than ever before!
    Hannah D.
  • The docjo Tools helped me go from “This is Impossible” to “I can actually DO THIS” very quickly while encouraging me towards, and explaining how I can achieve, even more massive, audacious goals. Gives me goosebumps.
    I’m now feeling calm, focused and determined because of my MAP. I love my MAP! The process and timing is perfection! Everything unfolds easily and is enjoyable. So much clarity and breakthroughs. Thank you for eliciting my self-belief.
    I am now finding JOY in all areas and activities, and am totally confident and thrilled about what lies ahead. My energy levels are more constant too, and I am so much more relaxed and clear about where-to from here.
    Did I mention I love my MAP!!

About Your Facilitator

Dr Joanne Mangion
Joanne has been studying and exploring the realms of energy, consciousness, and metaphysics in the forests, deserts, mountains, and coastline of Australia, Thailand, Mexico, Panama and Ecuador for 21 years. Following 16 years in corporate Australia, in industries including Law, Aviation, and Banking & Finance, Joanne turned a mental breakdown, manic depression, and planned suicide, into a rebirth. 12 years later she turned her home into an ashram, creating a temple for deeper philosophical and metaphysical learning and practice. With her 20 year life and business partner, Anthony Harvey, she co-founded The 4 Metaphysical Tools, and went on to obtain a bachelor, masters, and PhD degree in Philosophy, summa cum laude, majoring in Metaphysics and Humanistic Science. She has been helping others since, to identify and overcome the programs and patterns that keep leading them into looping, negative thoughts and undesirable, often chronic, conditions. Clearing the space to quantum leap into something extraordinary instead. Joanne's life purpose is to help others learn to reclaim and reorient their consciousness. By doing so, she says we are able to remember who we are, why we came, and create a life-by-design instead.
