My Story

Welcome! to I Live Vibrantly. I’m Johanna Thorn, a Wellness Coach, Restorative EcoChef, Farmer in training and author of the #1 Amazon bestselling book “Live Vibrantly! 10 Steps to Maintain Youthfulness, Increase Energy and Restore Your Health” who is fiercely committed to guiding you in taking ownership of your health giving you the freedom to live life beyond the ordinary; full of energy, free from fear of aging or disease.

I help you heal your gut so you can thrive. So you can experience more energy, feel amazing and restore your health. Together we do this through a unique holistic nutritional and lifestyle plan that is customized to you and your needs.

For many years I lived and practiced in Santa Cruz; a beautiful beach town and Mountain View; the heart of Silicon Valley, CA and in 2016 moved up to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to my family. My journey to deepen connection to food; its healing power and the earth’s rhythms has led me from hectic city and corporate life to begin fulfilling my desire to be more self-sustainable and provide my own food.

My path to become a wellness coach became clear after having restored my own health from one depilating health issue after another including an auto-immune disease; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I refused to accept that diagnosis as my life and searched for the answers that would lead me out of that state and beyond fear of relapse. Those answers led me, and now lead the individuals I coach, to that place of freedom to live vibrantly.

In Santa Cruz I found Bauman College and their Nutrition Consultant Certification program. I signed up immediately and fell head over heels in love with their approach. During this time, I was introduced to the work of Doc Wheelwright which focuses on the bioenergetics of nutrition. Based on his research I immersed myself in herbology and food as medicine. I currently use a functional medicine approach; the healing power of herbs, food, Doc’s teachings and methods and my own personal experience to support my clients in their transformation.

With your quality of life in mind, I put together 30 years of experience from restoring my own health and guiding those I’ve coached, to create the Live Vibrantly! 10 Steps To Maintain Youthfulness, Increase Energy and Restore Your Health blueprint. Beyond “diets”, beyond fads, labels, trends, beyond fear, living your best and fullest self with fun and joy can be yours with this unique blueprint.

These 10 Steps are the foundation to my coaching and helps us lay the foundation for you to prevent health issues or restore your health and move past autoimmune issues, digestive imbalances, hormonal imbalances and so much more.

My passion is YOU – my mission and commitment is to inspire, support and guide you to go from living to flourishing, from surviving to thriving, from fear to freedom and beyond.

Are you done with dragging yourself through life, done with living in fear of debilitating illness or disease robbing you of your quality of life?
