Healing From Within
Navigating a Challenging World by Connecting with Our Inner Wisdom
We already have all the wisdom we need within us.
The challenge is learning how to listen.
Dr. Shana Johnston
Welcome Sister,
I’m a family practice and maternity physician in Victoria, BC. I’m also a woman on a soul journey who’s an intensely curious student of life, and who LOVES talking about transformation and growth. Of connecting to our inner wisdom through listening to our bodies, challenging our conditioned patterns and nurturing our spirits.
I’ve been a doctor for over 30 years, and have been on a personal and spiritual growth path since two months after finishing my residency. For years, it was like I was living a double life. Doctor at work, personal growth junkie in my spare time. Although I have always been weaving the feminine healing arts into my clinical practice, I’ve been doing so much more deliberately since 2021 when I burnt out and left my practice. Since then I’ve been doing part time clinical work as a locum physician while building this platform for speaking, writing and creating courses about connecting to our inner wisdom.
My website is where I collect the highlights of what I most want to share with you. I hope you find inspiration here, that will help you on your journey “home”.

What a gift it has been to be a part of “Connecting in Community” with Dr. Shana Johnston. I look forward each week to connecting with a group of women who make me feel so heard. Shana and the group participants have created such a supportive and loving environment and the connections, stories, and tools that I’ve gained in being a part of this group will stick with me for the rest of my life.
This has been such a great experience. My life is changing for the better both mentally and physically. These sessions are the highlight of my week and I look forward to spending time listening and sharing with these awesome women. It’s amazing that I’ve only known these women for such a short time but because of the way we connect they truly feel like sisters!
Dr Johnston is a really insightful woman who encourages support, empathy and growth with the participants of this group.
I am so grateful to Dr. Johnston for creating this circle of trust and connection that is so powerful and yet so simple for us to integrate into our busy lives. No matter how busy, intense or tiring my week has been, I leave each session feeling lighter, more grounded and so very connected to the other incredible women.
Shana creates a warm, safe and welcoming space. She empathizes with people in a way that helps them feel heard and seen. I highly recommend Shana’s work.
It has been a very positive experience being able to be part of the Connecting in Community group, and I am so grateful to Shana and all the women I’ve met and got to connect with. The group has helped me feel more grounded, more aware, more human as well as given me more self-compassion and an amazing sense of support.
