Hi there, I'm Johanne.
I am a certified health coach, yoga instructor, Reiki master/teacher, wellness retreat leader, heart-based entrepreneur, and a lover of tropical climates, animals, and nature. My journey as a constant learner of wellness and personal growth fuels my passion for sharing meaningful connections and authentic conversations that truly nourish the soul.
I am devoted to empowering others to achieve optimal health and wellbeing, helping them live their lives to the fullest. I firmly believe that everyone deserves an advocate for their health and wellness journey.
Originally from Montreal, Canada, I am trilingual and am now living my best life. After quitting my corporate job, I dedicated 15 years to the best form of education: traveling. Today, I have made my home on a stunning nature reserve in the Peruvian rainforest, where I, alongside my life partner Armando, offer quaint, authentic, and nourishing transformational wellness retreats.
Creating a heart-based career I love has been a significant motivator in my life. I thrive on connecting with people in meaningful ways and inspiring them to become the best version of themselves. Supporting others on their journey to thrive gives profound meaning to my life's path.
Throughout my journey, I have arrived at many crossroads and succeeded in creating a life I love. I am always growing, learning, and finding fulfillment in each step of the way.
“Each one of us can use our own personal journey to serve others and do rewarding work in the world that supports us and makes a real difference."

On the left side of the screen, you will find more details about my training, specialties, credentials, and passions.
I would love to get to know you and support you on your unique journey to wellness and fulfillment.
I can do so in the beautiful setting of wellness retreats. For those who cannot make it to the Amazon rainforest, we can connect from the comfort of your home via the internet (Zoom) or over the phone for wellness coaching sessions.
I studied at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating and learned so much.
The art of healing your relationship with food and with your body is very powerful because food has the power to transform our health.
We are all eaters, therefore we all have a unique relationship with food driven by our enviroment, beliefs, mindset, emotions, and past. Many of us have an interesting (read challenging, confused, frustrated, unhealthy...) relationship with food, to say the least.
Interestingly, what we eat is only half the story of good nutrition and health. Who we are as eaters is just as important as the food we put into our body. This is where my holistic approach (psychology of eating) is innovative; being in the ideal state to digest and assimilate food is the other half of the story. This ideal state happens to be relaxation.
Does stress have an impact on your appetite, on your digestion, on your food choices?
Do you often find yourself eating while standing or multitasking?
If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, I would love to help you cultivate a new relationship with food and your Self.
I am on a mission to help others heal their relationship with food and improve their health and create a better lifestyle.
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food and your body? Are you ready to create a more balanced life?
Are you ready to become a better version of yourself?
