About the Team

Our philosophy is that there are no quick fixes.  For real, sustainable change is cultivated over time, step by step, slowly, and methodically. This applies to any health & wellness journey, no matter what mental health or ailment you are working on or the health path you are traveling. We also believe that with genuine, sustainable, and healthy changes, you can achieve self-confidence and body respect, recover from any chronic disorder, lose weight, or do anything worth fighting for that makes you the most beneficial version possible.

Figuring out and understanding the root cause or causes is the foundation and the gateway to vibrant health. Science shows that if you are not eating the healthiest, moving consistently, getting the best sleep, or living out your values daily can affect the outcome, but so can what you say about yourself and how you cultivate a relationship with your mind, body, and food…. working with us will allow you to change the narrative and achieve your health and wellness goals. We will help guide you to a sustainable lifestyle and mindset, provide the tools to fit your life, and support you for the long term.​

Dr Linnette M. Johnson

DCN, CNS, NBC-HWC, LDN

Board-Approved CNS Supervisor

Like many of you, I’ve walked the winding path of mental health struggles—and I’ve seen loved ones face their challenges, including addiction. From the age of eight, I battled with my weight, disordered eating in my teens, and a deep sense of unworthiness tied to my body. My journey through depression, anxiety, weight shame, and addiction has given me a personal understanding of the pain and isolation that can come with it.

I know what it’s like to live with fatigue, body aches, and the constant inner tug-of-war around food, self-image, and guilt. But I also know healing is possible—because I’ve lived it.

Through my lived experience, I’ve come to embrace a different approach to health—one that’s compassionate, personalized, and rooted in the belief that healing doesn’t have to follow the rules of diet culture or one-size-fits-all solutions.

This journey led me to reclaim my well-being and help others do the same. I’m here to walk beside you as you rediscover peace with food, trust in your body, and joy in your life.

The bottom line: 

You shouldn’t feel exhausted, hungry, or alone on your journey. There’s so much you can do to support your body and thrive!​​
