ABOUT DR. ALISON JOHNSON

I serve people who need help transforming their lives. Who needs transformation? Well, we all do! Like the seasons change, so should we. But sometimes we feel stuck - and it shows.  Those ruts we get in manifest in our thoughts, in our emotions, and in our body. We cannot separate them. You know that feeling that life could be better - if only you could break through that wall and get to the other side which is full of happiness, fulfillment, and ease? I'm here to help you get there. I believe that everybody can discover a happy and fulfilling life. Joy is intrinsic to our human-ness.

I have always had a deep interest in the human condition and using various healing to alleviate suffering.  Using Chinese Medicine, and my background in Daoist/Taoist and Buddhist teachings, I am ready to help you break through what is holding you back from your basic blueprint of health and happiness. The underlying principle of Chinese Medicine is to bring about more balance and revolutionize your health and life by removing obstruction to your healing.
