I’m Dr. Johnson, the heart behind Lyra Wellness—named after the Lyra constellation and the ancient Greek lyre, symbols of harmony, healing, and transformation.

Lyra reflects my personal journey: a sacred sanctuary born from the powerful union of my Illyrian roots and ancient Greek heritage. Deeply connected to both cultures, I carry forward their timeless legacy of storytelling, artistry, and harmony—just like the ancient lyre, whose strings create music that transcends time. This legacy of courage and creative expression pulses through every retreat we craft.

For over a decade, I have worked in education and coaching, designing meaningful curricula for learners of all abilities, backgrounds, and ages—from children to adults—always with the intention of sparking curiosity, growth, and self-discovery. My life’s work is devoted to facilitating workshops, coaching individuals, and guiding communities toward their fullest potential.

The Illyrians were fierce guardians of earth and soul, while the Greeks were masters of music, philosophy, and art. From this lineage, I draw inspiration to create retreats that are more than escapes—they are awakenings.

At Lyra, our mission is to help you find your inner harmony through music, art, and the nurturing of the five sacred intimacies. These elements come together as the chords composing a life of balance, presence, and authentic connection.

I invite you to step into Lyra—root deeply in your heritage, rise boldly in your light, and compose the symphony of your soul.
