My life has changed tremendously since working with Johanna. I am a much stronger, more confident, happier person and spouse to my husband. Her approach challenged me to face the root of my unhappiness and turned my life around. I will be forever grateful to the life I now have, and the appreciation of life I feel, since having been helped by Johanna.
I cannot say thanks enough! Being human is a complex, sometimes overwhelming ride. We may be carrying and re-enacting patterns and beliefs that we've held for decades, which no longer serve us. Or holding resentments that color everything, especially our peace of mind. We may unknowingly be repeating attitudes and behaviors we learned by observing our parents, grandparents and others as we grew.

It can be scary and uncomfortable to say we're sorry. To own up to the fact that perhaps we did something less than stellar and that it negatively impacted someone we care for. We want to just brush it under the rug. To have it let go. To not have to meet and. For most of us, there's a state of stress or distress we've come to call normal.
Happiness is a skill-something we can learn to generate and sustain with our behavior and thinking. It becomes easier to be happy once you learn and practice the skills of working with and directing your thinking toward ways that support versus undermine you. So, yes, you can be happy again. Perhaps even happier than you've ever been.
Anthologies including pieces by Johanna Courtleigh include Sisters Singing, VoiceCatcher, Wake Up Women: BE Happy, Healthy and Wealthy and Wake Up-Live The Life You Love, In Service. In this crucial time of beauty, degradation and transformation, it is imperative that we evoke and manifest a new world.
I find it hard to put to words how profound an impact our session has had on me. In the last week, I have experienced an uprooting of some deeply entrenched emotional blocks and self-damaging thought patterns - things that I have been trying to understand and work through for years, if not decades, have become utterly clear and I find myself with effective means of dealing with them.

I cannot express how much I gained from my meetings with Johanna. She is warm, engaging and extremely collaborative in her approach. She told me on our first call, "You may not walk away from our sessions feeling better, but you will feel more." This was 100% true and even if I didn't feel better in the moment, the path was laid out for me to discover even more about myself. In our first session I was opening up in a way I had never thought possible, and that has continued throughout our relationship. Johanna has helped me to learn so much about myself, about my past, and she has

Johanna is a wonderful guidance, spiritual, healing, therapist I have been blessed to be given to help me. I was referred to Johanna by a good friend not in Johanna's field. I wanted to feel better, find happiness and joy in my life. To stop feeling the victim and resolve my issues within myself and over the last almost 2 years I am more whole and more clear in my whole person. I am happy.
Johanna has a gift of intuition that enhances her clinical skills giving me as a patient the ability to see how to change, how to recognize what I am responsible for and what I am not. That was a huge

I was a patient of Johanna's for over a year, working through some tough early family issues as well as trust issues from former relationships.
I found her to be very helpful, and trusted that she had my best interests at heart. She seemed to fiercely defend me from old issues, from my ingrained fears, from my ability to blame myself for things that weren't my own....
At the same time, she also did not let me get away with debilitating beliefs nor unhealthy habits.
I can't say our sessions were easy, for the most part-there was a lot of work done, and a lot of self-realization

I do not often write reviews, however, I feel compelled to say a few words about the amazing Johanna Courtleigh. I have been on a path of self-discovery for several years. For those of us that are dedicated to this endeavor of discovery know just how painful and exhausting it can be. I am so thankful to have found Johanna. She is compassionate and extremely skilled in her practice. I have never felt emotionally safer than I do with her. She continually pushes me to "peel another layer" of the onion back to reveal yet another amazing fact that makes me who I am.

I left my first session in tears. Johanna did not use solid counseling skills, instead she was quite judgemental. She pointed out info about me and my family on my intake form as if they were horrible and she seemed shocked. These are not issues that a counselor should be surprised by!
She lacked sensitivity and a caring, warm personality. I do NOT recommend her services to anyone.
