ACCOLADES
In September 08, he became the recipient of the top honour at the Annual Extraordinary Lives (XL) Awards held in Singapore. He was honoured for his global contribution to society.

Dr Demartini was invited to speak at the Waldzell Conference in Austria (September 2008). This is a prestigious, annual meeting of the world’s most esteemed leaders and Nobel Prize winners to encourage global dialogue.

CHALLENGING EARLY DAYS
John Demartini was born on Thanksgiving Day in 1954 with some initial challenges. He had a leg and hand deformity that restricted him in braces from age two to four. He was also dyslexic and did not learn to functionally read until he was 18 years old.

At age 7, his first grade teacher announced, in front of him, to his parents that he had a learning disability and that he would never read, write, communicate, never amount to anything, nor go very far in life.

At the age of 14, uninspired by academics, he quit school. He left home, with his parents blessing, and headed for California and Hawaii to fulfill his enthusiasm for surfing.

The next four years of Demartini’s life were a blend of homelessness, panhandling to survive, drugs, alcohol and surfing.

At age 17 John Demartini met an elderly man named Dr Paul Bragg, a well-known naturopath who revolutionised the American health food industry. He was the catalyst in awakening his desire to conquer his learning disability, get an education and make a difference in the world. He picked up his surf board and returned to Texas.

FROM DYSLEXIA TO ACADEMIA
With focus and determined effort, he broke through his dyslexia and mastered reading and writing. He passed his GED and then wrote his SATS and attained entry level into Wharton Junior College. He then progressed to the University of Houston where he completed his Bachelors of Science degree in 1978. He went on to study Chiropractic at the Texas Chiropractic College where he graduated with honours - Magna Cum Laude in 1982.

From that time until today, Dr Demartini has immersed himself in text books, one of which was on cosmology. This led him to an interest in astronomy, unfolding into astrophysics, physics, then metaphysics, theology, mythology and anthropology until eventually his insatiable interest took him through the studies of over 260 'ologies'.

At the age of 18 he read a book by the philosopher Wilheim Leibniz titled 'Discourse on Metaphysics'. In the first chapter Leibniz spoke about what he called the 'Divine Perfection, Love and Order'. Leibniz said that few people ever came to experience this highly ordered awareness, but those who did have their lives changed forever. This idea further inspired Dr Demartini to set out on a quest to find a way of helping himself and others discover and experience this underlying divine or implicate order that Leibniz spoke of. Today, we now know that Dr Demartini did master a way which is called The Demartini Method®.

GIVING BACK – EDUCATION AND SOCIAL INITIATIVES IN SA
In South Africa, Dr Demartini has assisted in inspiring hundreds of young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds with his one-day programme titled Young Adults Inspired Destiny™.

Dr Taddy Blecher - CEO and Founder of CIDA City Campus Johannesburg:
“Dr Demartini has a unique communication gift that crosses any gap in culture, age, experience, and educational background. He uses his gift and power of storytelling to remind every individual student of the greatness that lies within them, of their own unique gift to give the world. Students listen in awe, take copious notes, and are always inspired, motivated, and excited to recommit themselves to building a vital new path forward, in lives that have often come a difficult journey to that point. Dr Demartini should be so highly commended for the enormous time and effort and contributions he has made in donating his time so freely, to help ensure the journey forward for these youngsters is different to the journey they have walked to that point.”

He has donated his time to work with prisoners and the SA police service, giving them hope and boosting morale.
