Instead she now teaches people to fully enjoy life. She specializes in helping professionals find authentic joy and love, and helping clients reinvent themselves after life-shaking events.

Dr. Pichardo-Johansson received her Life Coach Certification from the Robbins-Madanes/Strategic Intervention Center and has completed countless self-improvement courses over the years. She’s had a lifelong interest in personal development, relationships, and the healing powers of love and laughter. Her motto is, “Life is too short to live without passion.”

Dr. Pichardo-Johansson is the founder of “Healing for Healers Sisters,” a support group for female physicians in Brevard County. She lives in Melbourne Beach, Florida with her soulmate husband and her four beloved children, including twins with special needs.
