Tommy Jiang & Kevin Harrington: Psychosynthesis, Healing, & Connection

May 15, 2025 • Lisa Tilstra • Episode 221

My guests today are Tommy Jiang and Kevin Harrington.

I met Tommy and Kevin while traveling in Patagonia last year. It was one of those connections that permeate great international travel. My husband and I were at the end of our month-long excursion and got to enjoy a 35+ hour ferry ride filled with hours of great conversation with them.

Learning about their passions and expertise, I told them about the podcast and invited them to come on! And now… I get to share this conversation with you!

Let me share a bit more about each of them and then we’ll jump into our conversation about Psychosynthesis, healing, hypnosis, and more!

Tommy is a carpenter and healer currently living in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. Tommy's approach to growth and healing in his own life and with clients, combines his background in mindfulness meditation, training as a Psychosynthesis Life Coach through the Synthesis Center in Amherst, MA, and his training as a Professional Hypnotist with the International Certification Board of Coaches & Hypnotists (ICBCH). Tommy aims at a precise approach to coaching and healing work, utilizing what arises in each moment, and following it to integration, wholeness, and profound energy within oneself.

Kevin received his PhD in Astrophysics at the International Max Planck Research School for Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and the University of Bonn, Germany. He previously received a B.Sc in Astronomy and B.Sc in Psychological Brain Sciences at the University of Massachusetts (UMass), Amherst. Currently he works as a professional astronomer with a postdoctoral research fellowship position at the Atacama Large Millimeter Telescope in northern Chile. He is an internationally recognized Board Certified Coach, and has completed his training in psychosynthesis life coaching through The Synthesis Center since 2015.

Tommy and Kevin, thank you for this fantastic conversation! Thank you for your willingness to connect and engage in meaningful connection both in southern Patagonia and now. Meeting people like you is one of my favorite things in life and I’m grateful to get to share these pieces of your wisdom, passion, and beautiful work in the world!
