Jody M. Johnson is a Green Bay, Wisconsin, native who is currently living and working in Southern Wisconsin as a professional licensed massage therapist with her specialty focusing on injury and rehabilitation therapies. Years prior she worked in manufacturing for nearly 20 years on the production floor. Her interest in natural health brought her into the realms of chiropractic care, acupuncture, Chinese herbal healing, and massage almost simultaneously after she sustained two major back injuries while on the job. Her low back injury was severe enough that after her rehabilitation she decided to take her career in a different direction in order to focus on her healing while helping others do the same for themselves. In 2008 she attended massage therapy classes and graduated second in her class out of three affiliate schools. The transition from light industrial production work into the professional work force was life changing. While she began to dig deeper into natural healing methods, she became exposed to different spiritual belief systems from all over the world. Since 2008, she has been actively practicing the law of attraction while studying quantum theory which is the scientific foundation of the universal law. In 2014, Jody acutely became aware of the minimalist movement and began her journey as a minimalist and writer. Minimalism Speaks is her first published literary endeavor. She continues to work full time in her massage therapy practice and enjoys writing poetry, short stories, and essays on the minimalist movement and the law of attraction. She finds great inspiration in authors such as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Esther and Jerry Hicks, Doreen Virtue, Wallace D. Wattles, and Sogyal Rinpoche. Her great aspiration in life is to encourage people to pursue their passions no matter what challenges or circumstances may arise. She spends her free time meditating and relaxing with her 15 year old companion cat named Stormy. She describes her existence as peaceful and uplifting, finding beauty and comfort in the simple things in life.
