Lisa Hillary Johnson is a licensed massage therapist and healer, practicing yoga and somatic healing. She earned a bachelor’s in business administration from Detroit College of Business in 1998 and embarked on a corporate career path but knew that was not her true calling in life. Dealing with mental health issues since childhood and multiple traumas, Lisa found no success in healing through conventional methods and instead turned to a plant-based, herbal-healing, holistic lifestyle.

She graduated in 2001 from Irene’s Myomassology Institute in Southfield, Michigan, where she is a licensed massage therapist and assistant teacher. In 2023, Lisa started Deep Breaths & Heal, a nonprofit organization for Black women survivors of sexual assault, based in Detroit, Michigan. A yoga teacher instructor, Lisa has trained teachers who work in the Detroit Public Schools system, teaching children yoga and mindfulness classes.
