Dr. Jaimis “Jai” Ulrich-Lopez, is an educator, certified hypnotherapist, author, and advocate for individual and collective liberation. Her work lives at the intersection of healing, critical consciousness, inner child work, and decolonization. Grounded in both academic research and lived experience, Jai creates spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, challenge limiting beliefs, and move toward emotional authenticity, empowerment, and wholeness.
With a Doctor of Education in Higher Education Leadership, training in Anthropology, Sociology, and Religious Studies, and certification in hypnotherapy, Jai brings a rare blend of scholarly depth, cultural awareness, and heart-centered practice to everything she does. Her doctoral research explored hypnotherapy as a liberatory praxis for Women of Color in education, and that work continues to shape her approach today. She believes healing should not be reduced to “fixing” individuals in isolation, but understood in relationship to community, culture, identity, and the systems people are surviving within.
Jai’s practice is rooted in love, respect, inclusion, and mutual empowerment. Drawing inspiration from Paulo Freire’s critical consciousness, bell hooks’ radical feminism, and Robert Greenleaf’s servant leadership, she supports clients in exploring the deeper “whys” behind emotional patterns, internalized oppression, and inherited survival strategies. Her work invites people to remember that they are not broken, and that healing can be both personal and collective.
As the founder of Pathway to Empowerment with Jai, she specializes in guided meditation, inner child work, and decolonizing approaches to hypnosis that are culturally aware, affirming, and accessible. Her mission is to help others feel seen, heard, and valued as they reclaim their voice, rewrite their story, and step more fully into their humanity.
Jai is also the author of Decolonizing and Demystifying Hypnosis, A Cup of Noodles, and Healing Forward, works that reflect her commitment to emotional authenticity, community healing, and transformation. Across her writing, workshops, and one-on-one work, she remains devoted to helping people move beyond survival and toward a life rooted in self-trust, liberation, and love.

This isn’t a replacement for faith—it’s a return to alignment, a homecoming back to the Divine.
Here are 5 examples of how the words of Yeshua inform my practice:
“The kingdom of God is within you.” – Luke 17:21
My Coaching Translation:
“Everything you need is already inside you.”
This aligns deeply with my framework of self-trust, inner wisdom, and guiding clients toward their internal compass. This is an invitation to self-empowerment, reminding them they are not broken or empty—they are sacred and whole.
2. “Do you want to be made well?” – John 5:6
My Coaching Translation:
“Are you ready to step into your healing?”
This question invites readiness and self-agency. It supports my role as a facilitator of transformation, allowing my clients to take the lead in their own healing journey.
3. “Let the little children come to me…” – Matthew 19:14
My Coaching Translation:
“Let your inner child be seen, heard, and loved.”
In my inner child work, this phrase can remind clients that their vulnerability is sacred. It gives permission to reconnect with play, innocence, creativity, and the parts of themselves that have been silenced.
4. “Your faith has made you well.” – Mark 5:34
My Coaching Translation:
“Your belief in your own power is transformative.”
This empowers clients to understand the role of mindset, intention, and belief in the healing process. In hypnosis, belief is everything—this echoes the idea that healing is not something done to them, but something awakened within them.
5. “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
My Coaching Translation:
“You are safe to rest here. You don’t have to carry this alone.”
This speaks directly to nervous system regulation and creating safety in the coaching container. It affirms the sacred pause and rest as resistance—so needed in a world that demands constant productivity.

6. “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:32
My Coaching Translation:
“Radical honesty leads to liberation.”
This can be used to help my clients embrace their truth and decolonize their internal narratives. It invites critical reflection and supports the core belief that naming our reality is the first step to transforming it.
7. “Peace, be still.” – Mark 4:39
My Coaching Translation:
“You have the power to calm the storm within.”
This affirms the ability to regulate, pause, and soothe the nervous system in the face of chaos or fear.
8. “I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10
My Coaching Translation:
“You are worthy of a full, expansive, joyful life.”
This phrase speaks to self-worth and the liberation journey. It affirms that healing is not just about surviving—it's about thriving in joy, purpose, and alignment.
9. “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” – Luke 23:34
My Coaching Translation:
“Releasing others from your pain is an act of freedom, not permission.”
For my work around inner child healing, forgiveness, and breaking cycles of harm, this reminds clients that forgiveness is for them, not for the absolution of the oppressor.
10. “With God, all things are possible.” – Matthew 19:26
My Coaching Translation:
“You are limitless when aligned with divine purpose.”
This affirms the sacred potential in each of us. In a decolonized spiritual context, this reminds clients that their alignment with the Divine (in whatever form resonates) makes radical transformation possible.
