About Dr. Jane Kim Yu

Jane Kim Yu is the multi-award-winning author of Journey of Awakening and Higher Consciousness - part poem, part memoir, part hand to hold. The book received five independent literary awards in 2024 , including 1st Place at the Chanticleer International Book Awards (Mind & Spirit) and Gold at Reader's Favorite (Spirituality).

She holds a Doctorate in Pharmacy and writes from the rare meeting place of science and soul. After a spontaneous awakening at twenty-one and years of walking the path alone, she now helps people come home to themselves through the heart - the return after self-help, therapy, and mainstream spirituality have left them still searching.
