Nelie Johnson is a family physician with a passion for discovering why people get sick and how they can heal and for delivering the message of the true nature of disease to shift people out of fear toward empowerment and the possibility of healing themselves.

As a family physician practicing in B.C. since 1982, Nelie has been asking herself the questions of why people get sick and how can they heal for much of her career. Her medical training and experience over the years allowed her to diagnose disease and get her patients the powerful rescue treatments that traditional medicine provides and to keep them comfortable. However, the question of why – why this disease? and why now? – were never answered. She became increasingly frustrated as she met more and more of her patients stricken with fear and feelings of powerlessness and helplessness when faced with cancer or serious life-threatening diseases.

In 1991 she was on the point of reconsidering her career choice when she made the decision to search out ways or tools to support her patients to contribute to their own healing. She was rewarded for her perseverance when she was introduced to Total Biology, the work of Dr. Claude Sabbah of Marseille, France, in the fall of 1997 and learned that he and others had found the answers to her questions and more and had been using the ‘knowledge’ for some 25 or more years, helping people to heal themselves.

With her medical background and her facility with the French language, Nelie was able to understand and integrate the teachings of Dr. Sabbah, beginning with the basic 16-day course in 1997/98. She has repeated the course twice since and taken a number of advanced level courses as well as completing three levels of training for therapists.

Nelie’s more than 25 years of medical practice experience strongly compliments Total Biology – a healing knowledge made all the more effective with a precise diagnosis - and provided her with experience in counseling and in the compassionate support of her patients. In addition, Nelie has a fascination with the power of words and the dynamics of communication and has developed skills in this area. She has further training and experience with facilitating emotional release – a key part of the healing process.

She has a natural talent for explaining unfamiliar concepts in a simple and articulate manner and along with her enthusiasm, her seminars and workshops are very effective and a delight to participants.
