Contact Johanina at drjohanina@gmail.com or by telephone at 707-766-8502 for an appointment.
Group Sessions
In the group work, we are exploring the journey of embodying the essential Self and what it means to live and relate free of the disguises and compensations we have settled for. We are doing this in the company of spiritual companions. The people who attend these groups share a practice of self discovery that builds inner awareness.
Johanina weaves lineage-based Tantric teachings from the Kashmiri Tantras into the fabric of transformative inner work. These teachings, presented in an experiential format, include meditation, inquiry, movement, breathwork, and partnered and group exercises.

“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
The Personal Intensive
The Personal Intensive is a one-day to several-day live workshop with Johanina, designed to provide the finest tools to take your life and relationship to where you would like it to be. In thirty years of working with individuals and couples, I have seen the value of intensive work for people who are in crisis as well as those who are ready to move beyond their expectations and live their dreams.
With Johanina's sensitive personal guidance, your issues become clearer, you learn new ways of seeing your issues and new ways of working with them. And you have sufficient time to integrate your knowledge and experiences at a deeper level than you would in several weekly sessions. The Personal Intensive includes in person or telephone follow-up to support the integration of your transformation.
The Personal Intensive includes:
- Two three-hour sessions per day
- Transformational breath work and/or body work each day
- Personal coaching to get you to the heart of issues and obstacles in your life and relationship
- Tools and practices for shifting from being stuck to being in the flow of life and love
- A new perspective on what works in life and relationships and what doesn't
- Real, practical skills for turning difficulties and disconnects around FAST

Discover the keys to pleasure, passion, and the empowering feminine
The Self-Ignited Woman
an eight-week telegroup for women
facilitated by Johanina Wikoffstarts September 2010
Many women today are so busy with work and family that self-care and connections with other women take a back seat. Then the juicy ripe fullness of feminine pleasure, knowingness, and overflowing generosity becomes depleted and our feminine soul hungers. No amount of food, sex, or success fills this hunger. It is a hunger to know and be known in the feminine essence.
In The Self-Ignited Woman telegroup sessions, you'll get the keys to the care and feeding of the feminine soul. First, we'll help you identify what it is that's most important to you. Then, you'll be given the tools and support to make the exciting changes in the way you live, love, and manifest your desires.
Don't have time to travel? This participatory class takes place via conference calls in eight weekly two-hour sessions. Pour yourself a cup of tea, pick up the phone, and join in a healing circle of women sharing their wisdom and support.
Johanina will work one-on-one with each participant, and you'll also work in dyads and small groups to share exercises or inquiries. Through this process you will:
- Learn sacred sexpert Johanina's secrets for the best sex ever, no matter what your age or hormones
- Discover how to use desire and pleasure to manifest your dreams
- Become an irresistible woman
- Live from your truth, authentic authority and power
- Participate in the world without losing the connection to what deeply nourishes you
- Practice the art of inquiry to shift from feeling stuck to being in the Now
- Be sensitively guided and mentored in an empowering circle of women
– Lisa Schrader, author & coach

“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.
