LaVonda Johnson
I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals to thrive through a holistic approach to healing and personal development. My journey as a domestic violence survivor and advocate has fueled my dedication to creating a supportive space as a LIfe Doula and Emotional Wellness coach, where individuals can cultivate resilience, reclaim their power, and achieve their full potential. Drawing from my lived experience, I have crafted a series of multi-faceted skill-building classes that address the diverse needs of our community. These classes are not merely educational workshops; they are a reflection of my own journey and a testament to the transformative power of self-awareness, empowerment, and healing. Inspired by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, my approach to healing is grounded in the understanding that true empowerment begins with meeting individuals’ fundamental needs for safety, belonging, and self-esteem. Each of my classes is designed to address these needs while providing practical skills and tools for personal growth and empowerment.
