"made changes to my work and living circumstances...
I worked with Dr. Johanneke for 5 years, first coming to her for help with anxiety and depression. She is kind, compassionate, and gave me time and space to review my holistic needs. Her approach helped me make changes to my work and living circumstances that allowed me to flourish. She also encouraged me to deepen my spiritual practice. As an Occupational Therapist myself, I can vouch for the quality of service she offers to her patients. Highly recommend!

"a must for [you] to move forward toward [your] fullest and greatest potential...
Lori hand delivers a sacred invitation from the universe to live your best life when she reads your Human Design. Her enthusiasm and breadth of knowledge is inspiring, and led me to leave my unfulfilling job and open to receive the opportunities that were waiting for me but I was too afraid to see. Our work together has given me permission to make peace with the way I show up in the world, allowing me to be more gentle with myself in my moments…a must for people to embrace their humanness and move forward toward their fullest and greatest potential.

"I am on the path meant for me, not anyone else..
Working with Maggie was an amazing deep dive into my energetics and personality that I have never
before experienced. She gave so much insight into my journey, reaffirmed many
experiences I
have had and gave me many tools to continue along my path. As someone who has always struggled to find
their place in the world, the information I received helped me know that I am on the path that was meant for
me, not anyone else. It was so reassuring and validating to hear this information and understand why I am the
way that I am. The tools I received are helping me be my authentic self as I move forward.

Testimonials
Step into your wild woman awakening
Imagine yourself surrounded by a circle of soul sisters from around the world—women walking the same path of self-discovery, sharing your struggles, and uncovering synchronistic stories.
Through a series of masterclasses designed to support your midlife journey, you learn, grow, and reconnect with the woman you were always meant to be.
Then, the moment arrives. You step off a private plane onto the sacred grounds of Imiloa, an eco-luxury retreat perched in the jungle overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The warm embrace of the women you’ve come to know online now feels like home. It’s just after the Spring Equinox—perfect timing for a reawakening.
As the days unfold, you become an alchemist of your own life, drawing on the magic of the jungle, the wisdom of the ocean, and the power of Human Design to realign with your true self.
You feel lighter, freer, fully alive—your wild woman emerging with every deep breath and shared moments of sisterhood. A persistent smile spreads across your face and radiates from within.
Your soul sighs in relief—you are seen, supported, and ready to embrace the next phase of life.
