About Christina Johnson
Mentor & Therapist | Honoring Your Inner Journey
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), my work is founded on a core premise: we are not human beings with a soul, we are souls using our human experience to learn and live who we are in essence.
I honor your sacred inner journey, assisting you to live in alignment with your soul and discover your unique path. My approach is grounded in the principles of Spiritual Psychology. Challenges are not setbacks but essential parts of your spiritual curriculum.
My gift is presence. What matters most is feeling and sharing the sacred path of self-realization and loving.
With over 50 years of experience in the healing arts, I offer distinct modalities—EMDR, Craniosacral Therapy, Equine Healing, and Therapeutic Tango—each designed to support your body, mind, and spirit on its journey toward wholeness.

Upcoming Events and Workshops at my Casa Sueño Azul
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR is a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy method I use within a spiritual context. While it is an evidence-based method for resolving trauma, I guide clients to access and resolve troubling experiences through the lens of spiritual psychology—seeing these challenges as opportunities for healing and awakening.
What EMDR can help with:
Trauma and PTSD symptoms
Anxiety and depression
Performance enhancement (athletic, artistic)
Reducing stress around medical procedures
Building self-esteem and confidence
From a Spiritual Perspective: Uncovering the lessons within your life's curriculum and moving toward identification with your Authentic Self.
Love from my clients
“After my husband unexpectedly passed away I was diagnosed with PTSD, and EMDR was recommended as a treatment. I was fortunate to find Christina to work with and she has been a Godsend.
I highly recommend her.”

Craniosacral Therapy
Unlocking the Body's Natural Healing Intelligence
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) works by gently correcting imbalances in the fluid and membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This rhythmic cerebrospinal flow plays a crucial role in stimulating the body's natural healing system. Think of craniosacral fluid like the ocean - on the surface we see waves, but beneath lies a vast, powerful force that influences our entire being. Through subtle touch and focused intention, CST helps restore balance, ease tension, and promote deep relief.
Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy:
Releases tension and restrictions
Enhances body's self-healing capabilities
Improves immune system function
Reduces stress and promotes relaxation
Addresses chronic pain and discomfort
Equine Assisted Healing Via Craniosacral Therapy
Healing Through Interspecies Connection
Equine Craniosacral Therapy applies the principles of CraneoSacral Therapy (CST) to horses, helping correct imbalances by attuning ones self to their cerebrospinal fluid flow. This gentle, hands-on approach supports the horse's natural healing system and can produce noticeable improvements often after just one or two sessions.
Horses are particularly responsive to this work, showing visible improvements in movement, relaxation, and overall well-being. The therapy addresses not just physical issues but also behavioral patterns and trauma rooted in the nervous system.
Tangoyo
A fusion of Tango and Yoga!
Healing Through Conscious Movement, Connection, and Music
Tangoyo, previously Tango Therapy, is more than just dance—it's a powerful tool for physical and emotional well-being designed for individuals recovering from surgery, managing joint or back issues, or simply new to tango. My unique method combines tango and yoga and uses conscious movement and self-awareness as one learns the dance, fostering fluidity and joy.
This practice enhances balance, flexibility, and cognitive function while easing stress and anxiety. The close embrace of tango releases oxytocin, reducing stress and fostering deep connection.

CLIENT LOVE AND TESTIMONIALS
Mary Lou Ridinger
“Your Horse Says Thank You!
Do you want to see a miraculous change in your horse's behavior? I had the opportunity to attend an event where Christina Johnson performed pressure point treatments on the skull and sacrum areas on three different horses after observing each horse's walk and movement. After her treatment, each horse demonstrated increased flexibility, freedom in their gaits, and greater agility. The horse said, "Thank you, Christina!"
Help your horse find joy in her movements!”
Raquel Pérez
“I had the opportunity to participate in a craniosacral therapy session for horses with Christina Johnson at my friend Carlos Pintos's ranch in Guatemala.
This treatment is fabulous for improving equine development because it consists of a non-invasive, holistic technique that uses gentle touch to release tension in the horse's craniosacral system, optimizing central nervous system function and promoting overall health.
The results are magical, as you can see the improvements in your horse's performance through stress relief, improved movement, and restoration of physical and emotional well-being.
I highly recommend equine therapy for the best development of our horses.”

Vision
I began to study Argentine tango in 1998. The metaphorical language of tango, the listening skills needed to hear intense and subtle pieces of the music, and the fine motor skill needed for dancing it have also influenced how I work with clients. Our bodies have a magnificent ability to express feeling, but are able to do so in a unique way when embraced and held with loving intention.
Through my workshops and practice I hope to be able to create more connection between people, and self connection to our spiritual resources. the abilities to be truthful, to forgive, to enjoy, and to re-create are needed for our biological systems to function in the most efficient way. Our brains would much rather be assisting our renewal and our highest levels of art and play, rather than dragging along on auto pilot.
I would like to be a part of new kinds of community and housing that include organic farming, “domestic” skills, and integrate all of the community into a sense of belonging.
Through the travel opportunities I offer, I hope to give participants a new perception of culture, and expand the sense of gratitude and enjoyment with ordinary and extraordinary experiences. I invite them to form kinship with others while enriching their own sense of purpose.

The Holy Grail of Healing: An Invitation to EMDR and Body Wisdom
May 18, 2026
After every storm, the rivers find their banks again. The water remembers where it belongs. The brain, I have come to believe, knows the same thing.
Science says Dance is Medicine, Dancing Tango is also Poetry
February 6, 2026
Our brains are wired for rhythm, and dancing engages our entire nervous system. Some neuroscientists describe this full-body stimulation as a "neurochemical symphony," where anticipating a melody can trigger the release of dopamine and physical movement boosts endorphins.
The Neurocognition of Dance: Mind Movement and Motor Skills by Bettina Blasing, Martin Puttke, and Thomas Schack highlights these findings, demonstrating how crucial dance is for our well-being by linking mind and body.
Airport Drama: A Mirror of Chaos
August 22, 2025
Airports often mirror a country's overall atmosphere and state of mind. On June 15, 2025, I was flying with United Airlines from Queretaro, Mexico, to New Orleans, for a knee replacement surgery. Our flight ran into a problem when the plane ran out of fuel while circling Houston, leading us to land in San Antonio amid a storm. Lightning flashed, reflecting in the growing pools of water around the aircraft. Due to safety regulations, the ground crew couldn't refuel the plane during lightning storms, leaving us stranded.
Tango Therapy for the Brain and Body
June 16, 2018
What soothes your heart, lowers your blood pressure, cancels out diabetes, and counteracts depression?
What allows more balance and confidence to those with Parkinson’s disease? And gives people with Downs Syndrome a way to solidly inhabit their bodies with more grace and precision? What unites your psyche with knowledge of the body, inspires your endocrine system with endorphins, and multiplies your chances of a longer and much happier life? Without Alzheimer’s. Argentine Tango.
The Guts to Dance Tango
March 6, 2014
I’ve been dancing tango since 1998. But I have been a tango dancer since Sunday March 2, 2014. Something new happened. Argentine tango* takes a voracious appetite for the unknowable, the undoable. One must thirst for the music to enter the ears and brain, and then allow hearing to translate the melodies and rhythms into movement with the ease of an oyster slithering down the throat.

The Third Presence: On Duende, Daimons & the Ecstasy of Tango

In 1933, Spanish poet and theater director Federico Garcia Lorca gave a lecture in Buenos Aires titled “Play and Theory of the Duende,” in which he addressed the fiery spirit behind what makes great performance stir the emotions:
