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
Dr. Shana Johnston is a medical doctor, speaker, and guide for women navigating the profound transitions of midlife and menopause. Known for her calm, compassionate presence and ability to bridge science with lived experience, she brings clarity to complex physiology while never losing sight of the woman inside the body. Her work is grounded in medical credibility, nervous-system awareness, and a deep respect for the innate wisdom of the body. Having navigated her own challenging menopause transition, Dr. Shana speaks with honesty, humility, and a “sister-to-sister” warmth that leaves women feeling informed, validated, and empowered.
At the heart of Dr. Shana’s work is the belief that midlife is not something to endure, but a threshold—an invitation to come home to ourselves in body, mind, and spirit. Through courses, talks and programs such as her latest creation Empowered Menopause, she supports women to understand their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, reclaim their rhythms, and reconnect with creativity, pleasure, and purpose. Her approach gently challenges outdated narratives of depletion and decline, offering instead a vision of menopause as a time of integration, self-compassion, and deep remembering—of who we are beneath the roles, expectations, and conditioning we’ve carried for decades.

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.
