We help seekers and changemakers reconnect with their true selves through the power of Jungian coaching, timeless spiritual wisdom, and profound personal transformation.
CreativeMind was born from a shared vision between Debra and Dr. Rob Maldonado—to awaken the creative spirit and higher consciousness within every person.
With over 50 years of combined experience in psychology, coaching, and spiritual exploration, they created the CreativeMind Method—a transformative path that blends Jungian depth psychology, Eastern wisdom, and modern neuroscience.
Their mission is simple yet profound: to help people remember who they truly are beyond fear, ego, and conditioning, and to empower them to live, love, and lead from the heart.
