About Johna

She has worked in hospitals, long-term care, and outpatient settings, and also creates evidence-based wellness content as a freelance health writer.

Approach to care

Johna takes a patient-centered, judgment-free approach rooted in Motivational Interviewing, intuitive eating, and a weight-neutral philosophy. A weight-neutral approach means she focuses on your overall health and well-being—not your weight. Intuitive eating is an evidenced-based approach based on listening to your body and using a mix of instinct, emotion, and reason to meet your physical and emotional needs while supporting your health. Johna's approach can be helpful for those managing chronic conditions, tired of the cycle of dieting, or looking to eat more mindfully and nutritiously—all while still enjoying the foods they love without guilt. She offers a safe space for clients to explore sustainable habits with curiosity—not judgment.
