About Gemstone Therapy Institute
About Us
We are the only company in the world that provides both medicinal-grade therapy tools and an alternative-healing school offering meaningful beginner to advanced training in Diamond and Gemstone Therapy.
Founded in 2009, we teach healing arts practitioners and students who want to join a circle of elite experts who understand the art, science, and transformative potential of gemstone healing in a world where an energy-based approach has become both accepted and essential for overall health and well-being.
Our Students
We teach practitioners who want to get the deep healing results they know are possible from gemstones, but aren’t able to achieve using common crystals or pocket rocks. They are individuals who want support in overcoming health challenges, environmental stressors and energy drains, so they can feel more vital and protected throughout the day and maximize their potential.
Our Vision
To see gemstones become as popular as herbs as complementary health care options. Herbs treat physical imbalances. Gemstones help correct the energetic ones.
Our Mission
To provide best-in-class Diamond and Gemstone Therapy products and spread scientifically-based Gemstone Therapy education that allows practitioners to match issues and conditions with the appropriate protocols so people can experience real results.
Our Purpose
We believe we have equally a physical and energetic nature and the power to improve both. The world abounds with tools and ways to improve the physical half. At the Gemstone Therapy Institute, we’re here to teach you how to recognize, balance, and vitalize the energetic half.
Meet the Founder
Isabelle Morton was the original pioneer of gemstone sphere therapy in the 1980s when she wrote her first book, “Gifts of the Gemstone Guardians,” authored under the name Ginny Katz and co-authored with Michael Katz. She left the company (now Gemisphere) at her divorce with Michael in 1992, gave up most of her copyrights, and changed her name.
After a near-death experience in 2005, Isabelle realized she could no longer deny her gift–an innate affinity with healing gemstone energies and knowledge on how to apply Diamond and Gemstone Therapy. In 2006, she returned to Gemisphere to contribute new information that allowed them to expand their line of therapeutic-quality gemstones. The business relationship finally ended in June, 2009.
A month later, Isabelle started her own business, GEMFormulas, in order to offer healing necklaces designed with the latest innovations and standards in gemstone energy medicine. She also introduced the use of aura sprays that have been infused with healing gemstone energies. Isabelle invented Gemstone Energy Field Imprint (GEFI) technology, which is used to make these sprays.
In 2010, Isabelle founded the Gemstone Therapy Institute (GTI) to provide an outlet for both the tools and the education, which is the heart of her mission. It is of great importance to her to uphold the highest integrity of Diamond and Gemstone Therapy throughout all aspects of education, research, and customer and student services.
Whether your interest is self-improvement or certification, knowledge of individual stones or sophisticated protocols, you’ll find what you’re looking for at GTI.
Isabelle has currently completed six manuals on the applications of Diamond and Gemstone Therapy, plus a novel “The Capstone Decision” and her memoire “Accepting Destiny: How Heart Transplant and Near Death Experience Gave Me the Courage to Share Gemstone Therapy with the World.”
Read Isabelle’s Fascinating Story
Find out how she learned Diamond and Gemstone Therapy.
What does it take to get your life back on track?
In 2002, heart failure that led to a near-death experience turned her world upside down. Isabelle Morton barely survived. When a heart transplant saved her life, it also reawakened her destiny: to bring information about the power of therapeutic gemstones to the world. It also gave her the courage to fulfill that destiny.
Accepting Destiny is the true account of one woman’s life- and-death journey, and how she found her purpose in bringing forth a sophisticated healing modality that is a world away from common crystal therapy. The information and inspiration in this book can bring new vitality to your own healing journey—and to your life too.
Imagine being able to access your inherent living blueprints—that information that guides your body’s ability to self-heal and points you in the direction your life needs to go. We’re here to show you how to do that.
My Core Beliefs
- I believe the body knows how to heal. Give it the resources, the energy, and the clearing it needs to do that and it can.
- I believe that until the medical community grasps the importance of energies and energetic anatomy, true healing will remain elusive and incurable disease will remain incurable.
- I believe we can reconnect with our inherent blueprints—the information that guides our body’s ability to self-heal and points us in the direction life needs us to go.
- I believe in second chances, silver linings, and miracles.
What I Am Against
- I’m against assigning shallow meanings to gemstones. They are the most sophisticated natural healing tools the planet provides. Each affects the body in unique and significant ways and has much to teach us about the body’s energies.
- I cringe when I hear about gemstone or crystal certification in a weekend. There’s simply too much to learn. GTI Level 2 certifications take 2 to 3 years to earn.
- I strongly disagree with programing crystals, infusing them with thought or prayer, or telling them what to do or how to affect a person. It’s like telling a surgeon how to do her job. Asking the gems to help you is one thing, programming them dishonors the intelligence in the gemstones and your body’s ability to find its own relationship with them. It’s like hypnotizing the gemstones to do your bidding. Plus, it is not easy to clear this type of programming. For how many centuries will it last?

About Our Customers and Students
Let’s talk about YOU for a moment. Your life. Your health. Your destiny.
You want to take a step forward. You want to heal, make changes, and get the clarity needed to reach your potential. But one thing after another gets in your way.
You know there are answers within you–the inherent blueprints that guide your health and healing.
But how to access them? How to live a rich, full-spectrum life? Diamond and Gemstone Therapy is working for me, and I hope that it will help you, too!
Why Work with Diamonds and Gemstones?
I believe in Western medicine because it saved my life when I received a heart transplant in 2005. But I also believe that there’s more to life than the body. There’s an energetic part of us that is equally responsible for good health. The gemstones help me maintain that part, and keep me feeling well.
Energetic imbalances are only recently being recognized, but I’m sure you’ve felt them.
They include the uncomfortable feelings you can have in overly crowded rooms, the sudden energy drain you might get in areas of high electromagnetic radiation, and the strange symptoms that can occur when you eat genetically modified foods.
Disharmonious energy in the body may also explain the mysterious and debilitating illnesses that Western medicine cannot yet diagnose.
At the Gemstone Therapy Institute, we’re here to teach you how these energies work and how to clear, nourish, balance, and strengthen yourself using Earth’s natural remedies: healing gemstones. They help you reconnect with your body’s inner wisdom about health and wellness. They further support you physically, emotionally, mentally, and intuitively to be the best you can be in every aspect of your life.
Who is Attracted to Gemstone Therapy?
People come to us when they’re ready to make positive changes in their life. They’ve exhausted other avenues, yet they believe in energy medicine or feel a connection to the stones.
Many have loved gemstones since they were kids. They keep rocks in their pockets
and have an innate sense that the gems can help them.
Many of our students report feeling called by the gemstones to work with them.

- We teach people how to access their unique way of sensing their unseen energies. Is it through seeing? Hearing? Sensing? Being? Or just knowing?
- We help people learn how to choose what’s right for them and to follow their intuition and inner guidance.
- We help people learn to identify the intelligence within their bodies and communicate with it.
- We teach people to honor themselves and the healing energies within their own bodies.

- We teach practitioners to respect the power of the gemstones and to provide sessions that have a graceful beginning, middle, and end. This way, a client’s body can trust the practitioner and open as much as possible to receive the gemstone energies and the transformation and awareness that can come because of them.
