“Archetypes are the deepest and most powerful patterns of human experience.”

How AFF™ is different...

Have you ever noticed that even though you recognize the patterns you’ve inherited from early life, it can still be challenging to let them go?

While most “family systems” psychology methods focus on early life experiences as the root cause of our patterns, this is only part of the story. These methods don’t address the true origins that lead to a more profound transformation, the Archetypes.

People spend years trying to fix or heal their past, when the power to change is not found in the past but by being present to their true nature.

Carl Jung said that there is a deeper layer of our psyche called the “collective unconscious,” which contains Archetypes or universal forms. These instinctual structures are far beneath our personal experiences; these are the true causes of the patterns in our life, invisible to most.

To work with the Archetypes is to awaken the creative fire at the center of the psyche.

Why we created this system...


We developed the Archetypal Family Field™ (AFF) System to provide a deeper, soulful and transcendent process that gives a person a direct experience of the archetypal forces available to them. We wanted to share a system of empowerment that doesn't see clients as broken or wounded that most self-development systems offer.

Through what we call Archetypal Mapping™, this system can dramatically shift personal outcomes, but also help to discover one’s true nature or soul, ultimately driving meaning and purpose.

This methodology was carefully designed by Robert Maldonado, PhD. and Debra Maldonado based on decades of experience working with thousands of individuals in private sessions as well as the latest research in neuroscience, early childhood development and family therapy. Taking the best of psychology, but applying the techniques in a coaching model to provide accelerated results.

Who is this program NOT for?

The Archetypal Family Field™ Foundations program is a path of self-awareness, symbolic exploration and creative transformation—not a substitute for clinical care. This training is not suited for individuals who:

  • Are navigating acute psychological distress or destabilizing symptoms

  • Have a diagnosed mental-health condition requiring medical or psychiatric treatment

  • Are currently working with a licensed mental-health professional for intensive therapy, crisis care or stabilization

  • Are seeking trauma resolution, medical advice or therapeutic intervention


If you’re receiving clinical support, it’s important to continue that work and consult your provider before enrolling.

You are not what happened to you, you are who you choose to become. - Carl Jung

Guide yourself and others to greater possibility with this powerful system.

This framework has opened an entirely new dimension in my sessions, allowing clients to clearly see the roles they’ve been playing and feel the essence of their family field, revealing how it’s shaping their relationships across every area of life. The clarity it brings is so profound that one client saw her entire unconscious patterns and self-concept in love relationships after just one powerful session.
Ashley Noor
Certified Jungian Life Coach
Exploring familial relationships through the Archetypal Family Field™ System, where the client doesn't feel "damaged" or as if there's something to fix or figure out, but instead sees them simply as patterns affecting their lives in the present, patterns changeable and mutable, is beyond powerful. In fact, it's a reclamation of power that opens up a life of possibility.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Level 2 Practitioner will be announced in early 2026.

There are many factors such as financial investment and time commitment. The Jungian Life Coach Program is an in-depth training over 9 months that includes private coaching and a more in-depth study of Jungian psychology for coaches. The AFF Practitioner Level 1 training is for those who are seeking a technique in the family systems psychology to apply for their existing coaching or therapy practice or for their own personal growth. This is not a coach training.

No. You do not need any prior education or experience to train in this program.

No. Everything is included in this program. We may recommend additional reading but those are optional.

No. This is group only training. Private coaching sessions are available for purchase.

You receive lifetime access to the recordings to review at any time. We have a Level 2 training to help you continue the work. We also offer other trainings to continue your personal and professional development.

This program is a training in a technique and does not include business building or client attraction support. You can contact our team if you are interested in other programs that offer this.

The materials and videos will be hosted on a private membership network. You will receive email notifications when live class modules are scheduled and will have access to replays if you cannot attend live. You will see demonstrations and understand how to apply these principles for your own personal growth and to work with clients if you are already a coach or therapist.

Most family systems programs are designed from a therapy model. They help a client build up an ego personality. In AFF, we guide clients to transcend the ego using transpersonal theories of Carl Jung. We also do not diagnose, label or treat clients in this process and see them as not broken in any way. 

We have a 14-day refund policy. If after you begin, you decide this isn’t for you, just request a full refund. After 14 days no refunds will be given.

Pretty much any type of coach or therapist can include AFF System including executive, leadership, relationships, wellness, purpose, etc.
