Meet Johanna · About Rootbound

Hi, I'm Johanna.

I've rebuilt my life from scratch more times than I can count. That's exactly why I do this work.

I used to think I'd be an opera singer. Then a therapist. Then I spent time in HR, telling myself it would eventually feel like enough. It never did – what I actually wanted was real, one-on-one connection with another person's inner world. That's coaching.

Since 2019, we've moved our family across three states – Oregon, Texas, and now the San Francisco Bay Area – and that wasn't new for me; I'd already moved nine times before that, including studying abroad in Switzerland while my parents lived in Paris.

For five years, I was a stay-at-home mom to our identical twins and, more recently, our youngest daughter too – the deepest personal-growth work of my life. I lost an identity and built a new one, and rebuilt an entire world – friendships, routines, belonging – every single time we moved.

I hold a Master's degree in Psychology and trained as a trauma-informed Mastery Method Coach. But my real qualification is simpler: I've actually lived the kind of change I now help others move through.

This isn't surface‑level coaching.

My work absolutely includes habits, mindset, and reaching your goals – that's real and it matters.

But we don't stop there. We follow it down to the root: the belief, the pattern, the quiet story that's actually running the show. That's where change stops being temporary and starts being permanent.

I especially love working with mothers finding their way back to themselves, and with people rebuilding life in a new country – I've lived both, deeply. But you don't need a crisis to work with me. Maybe you just want something to be different: an old pattern broken, a goal that's kept slipping away, or simply more of you. It doesn't matter which area of life it shows up in. The roots are almost always the same, and that's what we work with.

Come as you are. We'll go from there.

Life & Transformation Coaching

Who this work is for

You don't need a crisis to do this work – only the readiness to stop skimming the surface.

For new and becoming mothers

Meet the person motherhood is asking you to become.

Motherhood rewrites who you are overnight. I help you meet that new version of yourself without losing the one you already knew – so you can parent from true inner alignment and peace, not just survival.

For people starting over abroad

Build a home that lives in you, not just on a map.

You left one life to build another – new country, new language, no roots yet. We do the inner work of arriving, so home becomes something you carry, wherever you are.

And for anyone ready for real change

You don't need a crisis to do this work.

Maybe nothing dramatic is happening at all – you just know something needs to shift. An old pattern you're ready to break. A goal that's kept slipping away. Whatever it is, we can work with it.

How we work together

Three things stay true in every session, whatever we're working on.

Depth over speed

We don't skim. We go to where the pattern actually started.

Groundedness

Change that lasts is change that's rooted – in your body, your values, your daily life.

Self-compassion

Throughout our work, I hold a safe, non-judgmental, gentle space – so you can learn to meet yourself with patience instead of punishment.
