Kala Healing Arts
Energy Therapy for the Body, Mind and Spirit
About
Erica Mary Johnson
When I was eleven years old, I had a powerful experience that set me on my path. My sister and I were bored, and out of nowhere I had the idea to give her a foot bath. As I was washing and massaging her feet, I entered into a meditative state. There was such a strong feeling of familiarity, as if I had done this thousands of times before. From that day onward I knew without a doubt that my purpose in this life was to use my hands to help people heal.
I became a Massage Therapist in 2004, and throughout my career I studied many different modalities. But my true passion was working with the subtle energy body, and so eventually I started to transition my massage practice into doing energy healing exclusively.
It brings me great fulfillment to assist my clients in releasing trapped emotions and old patterns stored in their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies, so they can be free to create a healthier and more joyful life.
I consider what I do as a path of sacred service, and am deeply honored to support people on their healing journeys.
