Johana
Johana is a woman of the Earth who understands and honours the interconnectedness of all life, the mysterious and intricate threads that weaves us all together. With her strong hands and big open heart, Johana is the founder and visionary of Neesa Wellness, and talented practitioner of Ayurvedic Scalp Massage.
As someone who embodies and understands true beauty, Johana dives deeply into the heart of all things and finds so much joy in the art of creating space, and holding space for people to come home to themselves. Her passion for wellness has led her down a winding path where she obtained her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Calgary in 2010, a 200hr yoga teacher certification with School Yoga Institute in 2013, and yoga mentorship with Kula Collective in 2016. She is currently enrolled in a Nature-Based Ritual and Ceremony program with Corinna Stevenson who is a Métis educator, award-winning author and founder of Ravenwood Healing Retreats.
​
As a teen, Johana took bookings for her mother's aesthetics business, where her curiosity for holistic wellness was born. She worked as a spa attendant and yoga instructor at the Kingfisher Resort in 2017 and continued on to take courses in Swedish Massage and Ayurvedic Scalp Massage so she could offer healing services on a larger scale. Rooting herself on Vancouver Island, she has spent her recent years diving into the sweet slow rhythms of the land, building community, and honing her purpose. Neesa Wellness was born from a place of self-love, deep devotional connection to the Earth, and choosing to be in service to the collective.
