Daelina Johnson

LMSW · Certified Master Spiritual Life Coach

Bridging traditional therapeutic practice with spiritual wisdom to create transformative healing experiences, guiding souls toward authentic living, spiritual connection and holistic wellness.

Her story

A journey of healing & transformation

Daelina Johnson is a licensed master social worker (LMSW), a certified master spiritual life coach, and the founder of Awakening Dae. Her background bridges traditional therapeutic practice and spiritual wisdom, so her approach to healing and personal transformation is one integrated whole.

In 2019, at a pivotal moment on her path to becoming a shamanic healer, Daelina started Awakening Dae as an Instagram blog to help others discover their authentic selves and embrace their inner light. It has grown into a spiritual and holistic wellness community of more than 14K people.

She trained as a Reiki practitioner and an herbalist, and as a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills coach she helps clients build practical skills for emotional regulation and mindful living. She also holds certifications in shamanic life coaching, energy alignment and the law of attraction.

Today Awakening Dae offers shamanic-blessed herbal tea blends, crystals and spiritual tools alongside personalized coaching, oracle card readings and therapeutic services. Daelina is working toward her Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential. Her vision: a sanctuary where modern therapeutic approaches and ancient spiritual wisdom meet.

Holistic therapy

Healing for mind, body & soul

Daelina Johnson, LMSW, is a holistic therapist specializing in mind-body wellness, integrative healing and holistic mental health: culturally affirming therapy rooted in healing and transformation.

My approach

Guiding your journey to wholeness

Like waves in the ocean, life's challenges are inevitable, but you don't have to navigate them alone. I create a sanctuary where transformation becomes possible through contemporary psychology and holistic healing wisdom, together.

With over five years of experience, I blend evidence-based approaches with gentle somatic practices that honor your body's own wisdom. Whether you're managing anxiety, processing grief, navigating ADHD, healing from trauma, or seeking greater purpose, I offer compassionate guidance that honors your path.

Drawing on Viktor Frankl's wisdom about finding meaning through life's challenges, I help clients awaken their inner resources and resilience, turning limiting patterns into room to grow.

Your healing journey is sacred. I welcome the chance to support you with acceptance, skill and heartfelt presence as you discover your capacity not just to survive life's waves, but to ride them.
