“I have worked with Johanina for many years individually, as part of a couple, and in many group sessions. Johanina brings insight, compassion, intelligence to her work with people. She draws from a vast toolkit of skills and knowledge gleaned from years of psychological and spiritual study, and she effectively uses mind-body therapy techniques, effective listening, support, and, at times, keen advice. She is a skilled group facilitator. Long ago I stopped referring to her as my therapist. To me, she is my ‘Wise Woman’ – my mentor, teacher, friend.”
– Ericka Lutz, author, professor, writing coach
“Johanina Wikoff is one of the most amazing teachers and guides that you’ll ever find. She embodies the entire life philosophy that she conveys, and she serves as both a teacher and a mentor. You’ll want to be her when you grow up.
“That is not to say that learning from her is easy. You’ve got to be really ready to take a good, look at your honest, true, unvarnished self. Johanina’s skill enables her to guide you through those hard patches and dark places with the right mix of compassion, honesty, and directness. Then the breakthroughs are amazing, giving you the clarity to be able to look at your life in new, real ways and know that you – not your parents, not your stories, not your peccadilloes – that YOU can be in charge of driving your life in the direction you want.”
– Laura Leff, project manager

“Her presence, compassion and expertise in creating a sacred container within the group allowed my heart to open and my emotions to guide me into vulnerable, new and powerful places. A tangible transmission takes place inside circle with her.

“Her love for people, her devotion to learning, listening, guiding and exploration gave me the tools to move forward in my life with a Knowing. Learning to breathe, learning to be honest, to be willing to look internally and fine tune the person that is me. Johanina showed me through patience and love and without judgment, that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and everything will work out as our natural state is one of Well-Being.
“There are people who walk this earth who Heal. Johanina is the first, second and third step to becoming a more expanded, enlightened and joyful person. Her workshops are engaging and interactive and it’s clear she has an expansive breadth of knowledge to impart if you are willing to listen.”
- Patricia Paisal
“The inquiry process is an integral part of my work with others, and the depth of that work with Johanina has made it possible for me to reach deeper in myself, and to walk others through their discovery of personal wisdom. She well modeled that curious mind, and opened the space of full acceptance which I bring to my own work with clients — and which they acknowledge as a powerful catalyst for their own growth.
“I am grateful for her open heart, her kindness and loving presence, her holding of me as I am held by Spirit — with love. I am clear that she has been one of the torch-bearers on my path.”
- Holly Mitten, JD, Life Facilitator
