About Annica Johansson

Annica Johansson is an Artist, Sound Healing Therapist and Life Coach based on Vancouver Island, though originally from Stockholm, Sweden. Her lifelong passion for art, healing, and personal transformation has led her to her true path—helping others through energetic healing modalities such as sound and art therapy.
With a Child and Youth Care degree with Distinction from Vancouver Island University (VIU) and certification as a Life Skills Coach, Annica brings a unique blend of creative expression, sound healing, and transformational coaching to her work. She also explored her artistic side through Fine Arts studies at VIU, successfully completed a Sound Healing Training Certificate in 2023 and The Art of Self-Gong in 2025. In 2023, she showcased her artistic talents in a six-week solo exhibition at the White Rabbit, where she sold her artwork. In addition, she operated an art gallery/studio in downtown Nanaimo-2024 and 2025.
Annica’s expertise includes:
Gong Therapy & Sound Healing – Trained in The Art of Self-Gong with Wells Gong Therapeutic Method, she specializes in using gongs, singing bowls, tuning forks, and vibrational frequencies to release stress, restore balance, and elevate consciousness.
Mind-Body Connection & Energy Work – Through her sound healing training, she has developed a unique approach that blends sound healing, guided meditation, breathwork, counselling and energy clearing.
Transformational Coaching & Life Skills – As a Certified Life Skills Coach, Annica empowers individuals with tools for self-discovery, emotional resilience, and goal-setting, drawing from her background in youth care, vocational rehabilitation, and therapeutic arts.
Creative & Holistic Healing – Annica merges art, sound therapy, and energy work to create immersive healing experiences, helping individuals tap into their inner creativity and personal power.
Since 2013, Annica has dedicated herself to personal and spiritual development, participating in healing workshops, sound healing retreats, and shamanic healing practices. She is a lifelong learner, continuously expanding her knowledge and skills to offer profound and transformative experiences. Whether through one-on-one sessions, group sound baths, art-based healing workshops, or transformational coaching, Annica’s mission is to guide individuals toward clarity, confidence, and inner peace.
Annica’s passion is to bring healing to people who have experienced stress, anxiety, or depression. Through energy healing, art life coaching, and counselling, she helps her clients find alternative and creative therapies to restore their natural well-being, allowing them to lead happy and healthy lives. Her straightforward, heart-centred approach creates a safe and creative environment for clients to reveal their most authentic selves.
Before devoting herself to her new vocation, Annica has been counselling veterans and individuals from all walks of life for the past fifteen years. She brings this experience into her healing sessions for a well-rounded approach to practical and spiritual healing. On Sunday mornings, Annica can usually be found at her kitchen table, listening to music and starting a new painting. Her passion for her family, friends, clients, veterans’ mental health awareness, and animal welfare is at the core of her values.
Annica wants to leave a legacy of a caring, creative, and strong woman who left the world a better place. In a heartfelt gesture, she contributed 24 paintings to Nanaimo Youth Services, a place where she had once been employed.
