My Approach
At the heart of my practice is the unwavering belief that every human possesses the inner wisdom and resilience to create a life that is deeply aligned with their values and feels authentic and meaningful to them. I strive to create a collaborative, non-judgemental space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My work is grounded in a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, relationships, and environment in the healing process.
I work mostly from a somatic perspective, supporting clients in reconnecting with their body's innate intelligence and their deepest emotional experiences. Together, we gently explore the protective and vulnerable parts of your inner world with curiosity and compassion, while bringing awareness to the patterns, relational dynamics, and core beliefs that may no longer be serving you. By uncovering these patterns and understanding how they have developed, we can begin to create new ways of relating to yourself and others that are rooted in greater authenticity and choice. Cultivating self-compassion is a cornerstone of my practice, as I believe that developing a kinder, more accepting relationship with yourself creates the foundation for lasting inner safety, empowerment, authenticity, and fulfilment.

A little bit about Johanna:
I’m incredibly grateful to live, work, and play on the traditional, unceded, and ancestral territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation, where I’m fortunate to have nature right at my doorstep.
I spend time in the mountains daily—riding my dirt bike in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. I also love hiking, camping, swimming, stargazing—really, anything that gets me outside. That said, I cherish my indoor time too. You’ll often find me unable to put down a fantasy novel, writing in my journal (my daily gratitude practice!), meditating, playing guitar, or doing Pilates. Both the wild and the quiet parts of life help keep me grounded and inspired.
Background & Experience
In my other role outside of Boundless Heart, I serve as a specialized outreach worker at an organization dedicated to providing inclusive, trauma-informed programs that support individuals affected by gender-based violence, including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, harassment, and systemic oppression. My one role involves offering direct support to both recent and historic survivors of sexual assault, while my other role is working with BC Housing to secure housing subsidies for individuals fleeing gender-based violence and for single mothers in need of safe, stable housing.
My previous work experience includes supporting individuals in transition houses, as well as working with people experiencing homelessness and addiction. I have also both worked and volunteered with various hospice societies—a role that holds deep personal significance for me and continues to shape my professional path.
