Johanna began her training in Zero Balancing with Dr. Fritz Smith and Acupuncturist Jim McCormick in the late 1980's while incorporating the work into a graduate program in Holistic and Archetypal Studies at Lesley University, Cambridge, MA. She is currently certified in Zero Balancing. Please see www.zerobalancing.com for more information on this very deep energetic work with the skeletal system.

Her mentorship during her first Master’s Program included ongoing study and work with Tom Watkins, MA , Thomas Moore, PhD and Alice O. Howell, PhD. Johanna has been an active member of several professional organizations of Astrology and attends national and international conferences focusing on the process of self realization and transcendence using the symbolic language of Astrology. Please see www.astromusings.com and http://www.forrestastrology.com/ for a greater understanding of her approach. Presently, she is finding that the focus on archetypal symbolism of the  Divine Feminine is very engaging for women with the use of Doreen Virtue's (http://www.angeltherapy.com/about.php) Goddess Oracle Deck.  Additionally, she finds that some like to take inspiration from the very real healing that comes from the natural world, and Steven Farmer's Earth-Spirit Cards (http://www.earthmagic.net) lend a self awareness to that natural connection within.

Johanna has studied with David Dalton of Delta Gardens and has completed his training program on the use of flower essences for health and well-being. Please see www.deltagardens.com for more information about this approach and http://www.flowersociety.org/about.htm for the nation's professional association for flower essences.

"I take the word holistic seriously, aware that a person may come to me with a problem on one level, perhaps physical, but have a more pressing problem on their emotional level. I practice integral nursing, making sure the priorities of the body, mind, spirit, are all attended to, which is why I had the passionate  desire to cultivate skills and trainings which address  the interconnectedness of all life's experience."
