A Message from Dr. Johnna
Practitioner and Founder
After decades of working as a psychologist focused on somatic therapy, I know it is time for change. The world and human consciousness are evolving at a staggering rate, driving the evolution of how we heal and grow.
It is time for healing that is revolutionary and spiritual.
With the Gorge Healing Center, I am moving beyond my roots of traditional psychology into a spiritual, energetic, astrological, and relational coach and guide. I want to help you and yours live the most rich and alive life possible.
Combining my decades of experience in Gestalt Therapy, Reichian Therapy (body-centered therapy), and deep spiritual practice, I offer a unique approach that brings the heart and soul into alignment.
Moving forward, I envision bringing together practitioners and healers rooted in a holistic perspective and dedicated to the whole you, spiritually and physically. Let’s build a community together.
I bring a wealth of experience along with an abundance of hope…there is so much possibility waiting inside of you.
I look forward to knowing you.
Philosophy
I believe every individual has an innate capacity to grow and change if they are provided a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment.
In my work, I combine aspects of energetics, astrology, spirituality, and body work to provide a dynamic, inspired, and meaningful approach to change and growth.
Methodology
In order to make our time together as meaningful as possible, I strive to see and hear all of what makes you who you are. To do this, I integrate valuable skills I learned as a psychologist with energetics, astrology, somatic principles (how you breathe and move), and spirituality. This creates a unique and inspired approach that I believe creates lasting and meaningful change.
Through deep attunement, empathic listening and reflection, incisive challenges, body-centered awareness and interventions, focus on breath, and a deep belief in the natural state of health and well-being, I lead people into greater knowing and acceptance of their energy, natural state, and deep impulses.
This results in the ability and desire to share themselves with the world and those around them. I help clients reconnect to the flow of life, bringing together their inner life and outer worlds!
Why it works
My work is based on the universal law of expansion and contraction, which is the foundation of my understanding of health and growth. That which can breathe with free-flowing energy pulsates in a natural rhythm of expansion and contraction.
Just as our universe, atmosphere, cells, hearts, brains and other vital organs function through pulsation, so do our lives. A blocked flow of energy leads to a lack of pulsation, resulting in a life or relationship of rigidity, lack of vitality, and disconnection from themselves, others, and universal energy. As a result, life becomes small and lackluster. During this work together, we will help move you forward into a new and chosen version of yourself. With the right person, coaching can be collaborative, creative, and life-changing!
