ABOUT ME

Erica Pic 2.png

Erica  Mary Johnson

When I was eleven years old, I had a powerful life changing experience. While on a family trip, I decided to give my sister a foot bath for fun. As I was washing and massaging her feet, I entered into a meditative state. I was filled with a deep calm and a strong sense of knowing that my life's purpose was to use my hands to help people heal. From that day on I knew that I was a healer.

I went on to become a Registered Massage Therapist in 2004, and I practiced for 16 years. I was not a typical RMT because I was more interested in healing the underlying emotional, mental and spiritual roots of whatever pain my clients were having in their bodies, than I was in releasing tight muscles. I explored many different mind/body/spirit therapies during this time, including energy healing, frequency healing, hypnotherapy and healing with prayer to name a few. I eventually retired from massage in 2018, and went on to create my own unique style of healing which is always evolving as I evolve.

 

Ever since I can remember I was hungry to know God. I grew up Christian, but never felt the presence of God in church. In my late teens I started searching for my spiritual path, and explored many different traditions. My first spiritual teacher that I studied with for many years was Jewish. Years later, I did a yoga teacher training, and sat at the feet of gurus. I did a course of study in Shamanic healing. I dabbled in the new age. However none of these paths felt like home to me.

 

In 2021, I had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ that changed me forever. I am happy to share my personal experience and process, but I do not push this on anyone. Jesus, for me, is more about a relationship than it is a religion. I understand that many people have been hurt by religion, and you do not have to be a Christian to work with me. I respect all paths.

It brings me great fulfillment to help others to heal and come closer to themselves and God.
