Our understanding of healing
For us, healing means reconnecting with the heart, with God.
For every illness arises from separation from this essential, life-giving source.
What does that mean?
Most people lose their natural connection to God, with which they were born, early in life. In this connection, the child confidently and freely shows how it feels, expresses its innermost feelings, and intuitively follows its rising impulses.
When a child’s innocent expression is suppressed or condemned by people who are no longer connected to their own hearts, the child experiences rejection for its pure nature. As a result, the young person develops protective mechanisms of suppression and conformity that remain active into adulthood, preventing them from feeling their emotions and thus from connecting deeply with God.
Sooner or later, this separation leads to dissatisfaction, constant worries and fears, relationship problems, and chronic stress, which often develop into various physical and psychological symptoms, including serious illnesses.
How can we reconnect with our hearts, with God?
The path out of suffering leads us through consciousness work back to those places in our bodies where suppressed feelings and physical sensations have become lodged over the course of our lives.
After decades of training ourselves to distract from our innermost being, inner work allows us to relearn how to be loving and attentive to ourselves and take responsibility for our lives.
However, this does not mean letting the mind take the lead – rather, it means perceiving the impulses of the heart, through which God speaks to us, with sensitivity and mindfulness, and following the path that is intended for us. The path that corresponds to the destiny of our soul.
In our offerings, which are based on the teachings of Holy Devotion, we open spaces of divine presence where people are welcomed and accompanied without judgment and with appreciation—with everything they bring with them.
Here, Inner Work enables them to recognize and resolve all those ideas and entanglements that still interfere with the connection to their hearts.
Who guides us on the path to healing?
Jesus says: “No one comes to the Father except through me.”
– John 14:6
With these words, Jesus makes it clear to us that he is our bridge to God, that his life and work should serve as an example for us to live according to God’s will and to surrender ourselves unconditionally to His impulses.
From Jesus, we can learn to treat ourselves and others with kindness and openness, compassion and forgiveness, and to remember His love.
We do not see ourselves as healers, but as instruments of God, who through their being and work enable others to find the way to Him.
"For He alone is the source of all healing."
Individual paths to God
"The moment when...
… Isabella Jelinek touched me for the first time with her loving authenticity was a huge shock to my ego, which initially caused me to flee back to my familiar life, back to my comfort zone.
But six months later, it was clear: this is exactly what I need if I don’t want to spend another 40 years drifting along in my ego bubble. (…)
This insight brought about a decisive turning point in my life. Today, I am much more in touch with my feelings again, old patterns that made me ill have been allowed to dissolve, and physical complaints have healed as a result.
Through the experience of Holy Devotion, my connection to God, which had been pushed into the background by early experiences of double standards in the church, has been allowed to blossom again, with all my doubts, into a loving purity and clarity that was not possible before.
Christ has once again become a companion for me, someone I can look to for guidance in my everyday life and thus a reliable foundation for my life and work.”

"When Jesus...
… first appeared to me in April 2024, in a moment of deep darkness, I had already been on a spiritual path for many years. I had read countless books, completed training courses, met many spiritual teachers, even lived in a yoga ashram for two years—but I couldn’t find what my heart was constantly crying out for anywhere. (…)
Despite my spiritual orientation, I stumbled from one toxic relationship to the next, repeating the same destructive patterns of thinking and behavior over and over again, which weakened me mentally and physically and regularly brought me to my knees, even leading to two hospital stays.
It was only when I moved into the Holistic Life Home in 2021 that I felt something begin to change on a deeper level. In the teachings of Holy Devotion, which Isabella Jelinek instructed me in, I found an approach away from the spiritual mainstream that enables me to bring spirituality into my everyday life and to develop fundamentally and continuously as a person. She taught me to take responsibility for my life, to trust God’s guidance, and to put myself entirely at His service.
Holy Devotion also led me to Jesus, whose unconditional love now guides me in all things.”

"My eating disorder...
… led me to God. For most of my life, everything revolved around my food and achieving a slim body. Diets, restrictions, exercise plans, health cures—an endless rollercoaster ride between discipline and frustration.
On the outside, everything seemed perfect. I was a wife, mother, nurse, trainer—active, committed, successful. For many years, I wasn’t even aware of it, but inside I was constantly struggling. (…)
The all-consuming thoughts about my diet led me into repeated bouts of bulimia. Despite all my earthly efforts, I couldn’t find a way to break my destructive behavior—I was truly desperate.
To escape this, I distracted myself. I threw myself into work, exercised excessively, partied, drank alcohol—anything to avoid feeling what was hidden inside. This exhausted me to such an extent that I eventually found myself physically and mentally broken.
It was only then that I realized I needed a completely new path—and I set out to find it.
With spirituality, my life began to change. I quietly listened to the voice of my heart and increasingly followed its guidance. I separated from my husband, left my secure job, changed my diet, and began to integrate mindful routines into my life. I became more and more aware of my inner self – and yet I still did not feel fulfilled. My inner fire urged me to keep searching, and I found what I was looking for in Isabella Jelinek, who guided me based on the teachings of Holy Devotion.
With their help and in connection with God, I was able to recognize the true causes of my eating disorder. I learned to treat myself with more gentleness, love, and mindfulness—and was finally able to overwrite the old loop of my inner struggle.
Today, faith and trust in God, as well as devotion to following His impulses, form the basis of my work at Holistic Life Home.
I am deeply grateful that my despair over my eating disorder allowed me to find God.”
