Since his boyhood, Johnny carried an awareness of something beyond the mundane—a spiritual essence that eluded many in his midst. Although lacking the language to express it, the recognition of a deeper, more authentic reality was undeniable.
Following his college years, Johnny’s path unfolded through two decades of crafting, performing, and directing original works for theatre and film. The creative process, for him, evolved into a spiritual activation—a commitment to being fully present, expressing emotions without attachment, and surrendering to a larger force guiding the creative journey.
A significant life event prompted Johnny to explore Vortex Healing, and the profound impact of the initial session motivated him to delve into this transformative healing art. Unbeknownst to him at the time, his physical and spiritual realms were merging, erasing the boundaries between them. The once-perceived duality vanished, revealing an inseparable connection between Johnny’s physical reality and an ever-present spiritual dimension. This truth becomes palpable in each healing session he offers to clients, magically transforming experiences and leaving an enduring imprint on everyone involved.
Now, Johnny feels deeply connected to a more profound version of himself, transcending what he thought possible. Life is no longer a haphazard series of events centered around self-interest. Instead, a larger, more graceful, loving, and intimately alive presence weaves through him—a tapestry of mischief and kindness, never leaving him in solitude.

As a practitioner of VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing, how would you describe the transformative power of this modality and its unique approach to facilitating magical transformations for individuals?
For me, I came to VortexHealing at a time in my life when I was living and practicing theater in New York City. Even though I considered myself a very open-minded person, nothing I had previously experienced could prepare me for the power and multidimensionality of VortexHealing. When I received my first healing, I knew that this was going to be something that I would do for the rest of my life. One of its most powerful qualities as a healing modality is its ability to meet people exactly where they are at, both at this time and place in their lives, but also within the context of their entire spiritual and karmic journey. When I channel, it is not “me” trying to work on “you” in some dualistic way, but rather Divinity, as best as I can align and be one with it, using me as a vehicle to inspire the realizations, the insights and the ultimate transformations that will come about for you. The spiritual awakening aspect of this modality has the ability to express a deep change in you because it wakes up the part of you that feels separate and alone. Its energy is bringing light to those dark places, enlivening your experience and your true nature as a human being. This change is deep because once you start healing that core sense of separation, which only Divinity can do, you start a path of healing that can’t be undone.
Can you share a specific case or client story where VortexHealing® played a pivotal role in bringing about a profound and magical transformation, and what key elements of the practice contributed to this outcome?
I think the best case I can share is the story of how my partner and I came to VortexHealing. As I said, we were living in NYC at the time, practicing theater. My partner was in graduate school, and we were living under a lot of pressure. We had agreed to sublet an apartment for two years, sight unseen since it was really difficult to get an apartment back then. The moment we walked into the apartment, we knew something was terribly wrong. It was as if the person who had been living there before had a psychotic break. It was horrible. We spent so many hours, every week, continuously trying to clean and clear the apartment. Even our friends noticed when they would come over, that something was “off” about the place. We tried a lot of different things–smudge sticks, pounding banana leaves, chanting, prayers, and daily meditations. Nothing worked. The best we felt we could do was keep whatever negativity we were feeling in the apartment at bay.
Finally, after two years our contract was up and we moved out. A few months later, my beloved cat scratched my partner so badly through the lip that she needed 17 stitches. Long story short, a friend recommended a VortexHealer. The first thing she asked me over the phone was to describe our apartment. As I did, she kept saying “No, that’s not it.” Well, I told her, we just moved a few months ago. “Oh, tell me about that apartment.” As soon as I started to describe it, she said “Yep, that’s it. I’ll get to work on it and call you in the morning.” Now this story speaks to the power and uniqueness of one element of VortexHealing. This healer was able to do all the work that was needed remotely. Not only did she clear our old apartment of its bad juju, but she was able to clear me, my partner, and my cat. Suffice it to say, when we woke up the next morning, we knew we were changed. The moment my cat walked into our bedroom, my partner and I both said, “He’s back!” My partner felt like something was lifted like she was reconnected through the top of her head to something bigger than herself. What we were feeling, and how that stayed with us over the coming days and weeks, was so strong and palpable that it was undeniable. Later, I was able to validate what this healer had done when I found out that the person who was living there before us had been practicing some form of quasi-religious work whose energetic remnants weren’t properly cleared until VortexHealing came along.
In the context of VortexHealing®, how do you navigate and work with the subtle realms and divine energies to address both physical and emotional issues, fostering a holistic and integrated healing experience?
It is the power of VortexHealing, specifically a multidimensional structure called the Vortex wheel that you receive in Foundational training, that allows me to access these subtle realms, and to channel the Divine energies and consciousness that is this healing modality. During a session, I use the entirety of my experience to be as present as possible to what is unfolding in the moment. In this Presence, everything that we need for healing is available, and it is this that I allow to guide the session. Before VortexHealing, my first acting teacher introduced me to the work of A.H. Almaas and the Diamond Approach. There, in both art and psycho-spiritual work, I was trained to be “actively receptive.” I have an active intention with the healing, but I’m also open to whatever I am sensing, feeling, and seeing within Divine consciousness that guides me to address whatever the client needs. This includes whatever the client has brought in with them that day, as well as how this particular session fits in with their overall spiritual growth and personal development. Through my own direct experience, I am amazed again and again by how the Divine source of this lineage crafts an individual session to not only address and release what can be released but also integrate this healing throughout their physical, subtle, and energetic bodies.
How do you customize your approach in VortexHealing® to meet the unique needs and intentions of each client, ensuring that the healing process is tailored to their individual journey of magical transformation?
This is probably the most important question. It starts with listening, and then we go from there. Based on the training I received within the Diamond Approach, as well as years of writing, directing, and teaching drama, I am used to listening as a kind of multidimensional act. This allows me to take in what the client is telling me while also “listening” to the images, words, and impressions I am picking up from the Divine source of our lineage. While I am channeling and aware of this incoming information, I am also having a conversation with my client. For example, I can ask them–does this image resonate with you? Or–tell me more about this particular incident or event from your past. In this way, the healing becomes more of a true dialogue, and my clients are being as much led to the unfolding insights as I am, in the moment.
In your experience with VortexHealing®, how do clients typically describe the impact of the sessions on their overall well-being, and how does this modality contribute to personal growth and spiritual evolution?
Most people reflect back to me that they feel calmer, relaxed, and at ease. They feel an increased ability to face whatever it is they are going through, or may have gained a fresh perspective on some nagging problem or issue in their lives. They often share how the sessions have given them greater breathing room and more freedom. For instance, when they look at a situation, relationship, or some other habitual pattern in their life, they are able to experience some space from it, like a kind of real pause, before a typical reaction kicks in. To me, this is where the real spiritual and personal growth comes in. There’s more self-love, kindness, and acceptance of themselves and their experience. Less judgment. It’s as if the essential quality of unconditional love, which is a part of the fabric of this healing energy and the space it creates, supports their entire being, including the parts of themselves they may not like. And this love is what inspires real change.
As a practitioner, how do you integrate the teachings and philosophy of VortexHealing® into your practice, and how do you guide clients in maintaining and expanding the magical transformations initiated during the sessions into their daily lives?
As a practitioner and student of VortexHealing, I am often in awe of its power and lasting ability to affect change in others. For example, years might go by before I see another student from my training cohort. These classes are taught all over the world and online, and then suddenly I see this person and I am amazed at how much they have physically and materially changed. Their faces are different. Really positive things may be happening in their lives, or sometimes even challenging things might be happening, but through it all they are sitting in this deep place of relaxation and stillness with everything that is playing out, the drama of it, but also the peace in it. Seeing this real change in others inspires me to keep doing this work.
In terms of making a direct impact on an individual client, while I am aligning myself as best as possible to the consciousness and energy of this Divine healing art, and all the information that is available to us in that space, I sense and then share whatever I think may be most helpful for them. This includes whatever is unfolding within the healing as well as all of the experiences embedded within my previous training and lived experience. Sometimes, I may hear what could best help this person–maybe it is a book or a practice I know about, or something they can do or reflect on, to take what they have learned and experienced here in the session into some wider, ongoing healing in their daily lives. That’s where the real integration is going to happen anyway. This sense of connection that we have experienced in the healing can be a touchstone for a lasting connection that is real and substantial, and that they can come back to. What they may come to see is that this experience we’re having of separation and aloneness is just an experience. It’s not the whole Truth.
