About me

To be happy you must make peace with your past,
love the present,
and feel so excited about the future  Marisa Peer

My name is Gabriella Johanns. I was born in Thun, BE and have lived in the canton of Zurich since 1983.  

With enthusiasm, I share my treasure trove of experience and I love to help people get over things and circumstances. Understanding and creating clarity in order to allow change and dissolution to take place.

Like every person in this world, every joy and every stroke of fate has shaped me as well. I fell, got back up again, pat me down and continued my life. Have "danced through" deep valleys again and again, experienced feelings of happiness and made soul leaps.  
 

What I love:
Dancing, traveling, eating well, sociable game evenings, dogs, cats, the fascinating nature of the world - with everything that bustles around, flourishes and grows in it, the play of light and shadow, quantum field theories and stuff like that, taking photos, films, Hawaii, the Universe, and so much more ...

My credo:

Life doesn't mean waiting for the storm to pass, it means learning how to dance in the rain

Gabriella Johanns_5 Rhythmen Conscious Movement & Dance

I love to dig deep ~ I love to laugh ~ I love to dance!


Dancing is my weekly mental hygiene "per se". One of the reasons why I am also a 5 Rhythms movement and dance teacher.

Conversation with Gabriella Johanns

Visiting Regina Schlager

If we go our own way, if we express ourselves more and more, aspects emerge that we experience as difficult: anger, fear, sadness. I talk to Gabriella about how we can deal with it - these feelings and skills can become the powerful engine for our transformation.

Gabriella tells about her own path and where she is today. Looking back on her life, it was above all the failures that became milestones on her path of development.
