Jana Wilson, Founder & Dr. Lance Wilson, MD

Jana Wilson, founder of The Emotional Healing System™, brings over two decades of experience guiding deep emotional transformation through the integration of psychology and spiritual wisdom.

She is joined by her husband Lance Wilson, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician, who bridges science and emotional healing through a grounded understanding of emotional intelligence, neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and the lasting physiological effects unresolved trauma and emotional patterns can have on the body, mind, and nervous system.

Together, they create a rare and powerful container—bridging emotional, psychological, and physiological healing in a way that is both deeply intuitive and structurally sound. Their mission is to provide an experience that is not just a retreat—it’s a recalibration.

You’ve Done the Work… But Something Still Isn’t Changing…

  • You understand your patterns—but keep repeating them

  • You’ve tried therapy or self-help—but feel stuck

  • You struggle in relationships despite your awareness

  • You feel disconnected from yourself or others

There is a reason these patterns persist.

Most people don’t need more information. They need awareness of the unconscious emotional patterns running their lives.

This work helps you recognize the behaviors, defenses, reactions, and survival strategies that silently shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self.

Why This Work Creates
Real Change

You Learn to See Yourself Clearly.

Most emotional patterns operate automatically.


Through direct feedback, guided emotional work,
mindfulness, and real-time awareness, you begin recognizing

  • emotional triggers,

  • unconscious defenses,

  • nervous system reactions,

  • relational dynamics,

  • and the stories driving your behavior.

Awareness is what creates choice.

The Retreat Becomes a Living Laboratory

Healing doesn’t happen only through conversation.

Inside the retreat container, your real patterns emerge naturally—in relationships, communication, discomfort, vulnerability, boundaries, and emotional reactions.

This allows transformation to happen in real time instead of remaining intellectual.

Emotional Intelligence Changes Everything

When you learn how to regulate your nervous system,
feel emotions without avoidance, and respond consciously
rather than react unconsciously, every area of life begins to shift:

  • relationships,

  • self-worth,

  • communication,

  • intimacy,

  • purpose,

  • and inner peace.

This Is Why The Work Lasts

The goal is not temporary inspiration.

The goal is helping you become deeply aware of who you are, what shaped you, and how to consciously create a new way of living.

That is where lasting transformation begins.

  • What Clients Are Saying

    Sometimes you need to unabashedly invest in YOURSELF to pull you out of your own way. I sought a “different” type of help after experiencing 5 years of back-to-back difficult events, compounded by a lengthy inventory of unresolved childhood traumas. I had loosely grounded spiritual beliefs, a coping toolbox was becoming outdated, and maintaining a baseline anxiety level that needed to go. Once I declaratively made an intention to go something about it, the universe (and social media algorithms 😉) put Jana’s private retreat into my path. Starting with a very heartfelt and rigorous intake process, Jana and I made an instant connection. So, I just said yes and trusted the process. I had no idea what I was in for: six days of deep spiritual connection, facing life-long false stories and core beliefs, ruthless forgiveness, and jump-starting the journey to recognizing and loving my self. ALL aspects of myself. I left with a renewed sense of wonder for what life has in store and the power I possess to make it all happen. None of it would have been possible without Jana’s exceptionally curated experience and her deep empathetic connection. Using decades of experience and training, she assembled a program using “the best of the best” of spiritual, metaphysical, and psychological frameworks. The way she integrated them was so intentional and beautiful. What’s most important, she made sure the work was tailored to me. If the universe presents you with this opportunity, and if you’re ready to work hard and dive deep, you’ll have a transformative and magical experience.

  • What Clients Are Saying

    “Enrolling in the Emotional Healing private Intensive was the best gift I’ve ever given myself. When I first reached out to Jana I was lost. I’d achieved most of my goals but had this constant feeling of emptiness. I simply didn’t know who I was anymore, and was questioning every aspect of my life. I experienced bouts of anxiety and depression, which led me to sabotage myself and my relationships. I knew that there had to be a better way of life. During my 6 days at the Healing Barn, Jana created a warm, trusting environment that made it easy to be open up and fully engage in the healing process. With their help I was able to access, feel, and release emotions that had kept me stuck. Through meditation, hypnotherapy sessions, breath-work, yoga, and various lessons, I learned how to recognize and feel my emotions, connect with my true self, and get out of my head to live from my heart.At the end of the retreat I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt light and free from the thoughts and feelings that had been weighing me down for so long. I learned to forgive myself, I learned the false belief that had been fueling the patterns in my life, and I was given tools to manifest the life I’ve always wanted. The feeling of love that I experienced was unlike any I’ve ever known; it was true self love. I know that this is just the beginning of a beautiful new journey, and I am forever grateful for Jana and this powerful work. Jana’s knowledge and wisdom is invaluable, and needs to be shared with the world!”

  • What Clients Are Saying

    “Prior to deciding to give myself the gift of the Emotional Intelligence Intensive, I was having panic attacks. My mind was cluttered in a sea of fog, doubt, despair and fear. The decision to go was one of the bravest decisions I’ve made. Putting my needs first was a new experience. I am so grateful I found Jana & Dr Lance and was able to work 1:1. Working in a group just wasn’t an option for me. I was guided into every dark, closed, trapped door I felt stuck behind within myself with the utmost care. There was a point when I faced my emotional addiction (of which I had no knowledge of) I felt my lowest, but through the Emotional Healing System practices I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Jana & Dr Lance are transparent, authentic and meet you at the pace you are ready to work at. I was challenged to look at all my self-sabotaging behaviors and beliefs and then gracefully guided to surrender. They both practice what they teach which built trust so I could be vulnerable. I am a CEO of a large company and have a difficult time letting my guard down. This healing work is not for the faint hearted, it’s for those who are ready for real transformation and change. I arrived rigid, I left flexible. I came thinking I knew it all, I left embracing the mystery of life. I showed up with a big ‘story’ and left with a blank slate to rewrite a new empowering story. I left New Mexico a completely different person. I view life differently now I am clear, clear and confident. This was the best investment I have made. Thank God for Jana & Dr Lance, they are truly remarkable and the most incredible professional Emotional intelligence teachers.”
