Dr. Michaela Renee Johnson

Michaela was forged in fire—raised in a 27-foot fifth wheel with no running water in Desolation Wilderness, where grit was her greatest resource.

Today, she’s a licensed psychotherapist, best-selling author (Teetering on Disaster, Empowered: A Motivational Journal for Women, Growth Mindset for Adults), and the creator of 7 Primal Wounds™ and the Revelation Report™.

After working with hundreds of clients, Michaela uncovered a hidden pattern: childhood wounds—often invisible even in “good” families—were silently driving fear-based decisions, low self-worth, and relationship sabotage. She built tools to expose and rewire those patterns—grounded in neuroscience but proven in real life.

Michaela doesn’t just talk transformation—she lives it.

A commercial pilot with instrument, seaplane, and multi-engine ratings, Michaela made history in 2025 with the first-ever Aerial Book Tour, flying her 1944 Stinson Reliant, Scarlett, across the U.S. to share one clear message: you can rewrite your emotional autopilot and reclaim your power.

She also proved her grit in 2023, taking First Place in the Palms to Pines Air Race while flying the slowest plane in the lineup—her beloved 1947 Piper SuperCruiser, Poptart.

“Clarity comes from gaining perspective above the turbulence, but confidence comes from navigating the crappy weather.”

Michaela’s mission is to help people stop spiraling, start choosing intentionally, and finally feel free. Your past may explain you—but it doesn’t have to define you.
