Karen Johnson, JD, MPH, MPIA
Author • Teacher of Energy Medicine • Wise Woman of Grief & Rebirth • Crone and Grandmother
I am honored to carry the medicine teachings that allowed me to choose a new path from Washington, D.C lawyer and judge to teacher and practitioner of shamanic medicine. I was shaped by loss and am devoted to walking others home to new pathways.
I am a former federal administrative law judge with master’s degrees in public health and public and international affairs, and a Fulbright scholar. My life took a profound turn after the death of my 27-year old son from a heroin overdose. To understand grief and loss, I left behind a 30-year legal and public health career to follow the path of spirit; becoming a nomad and studying with shamans, priests and spiritual masters around the world for two- and-a-half years.
My book, Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss, helps those navigating the deep waters of bereavement to honor the departed by choosing to create a new life from the ashes of the old with love and purpose.
Whether your healing journey is one rooted in a desire to make life or career changes, exploring grief and loss of any kind, or perhaps taking on the mantle of crone or sage, we walk the path together listening beyond words, walking with the unseen, and creating a new life that remembers but does not remain in the past.
