About Johnny

Johnny Bao has had a lifelong interest in exploring consciousness and healing, and since 2002, he has helped others to do the same. His natural inclinations toward curiosity and thoroughness have led him to master a variety of modalities, all of which help to bring the whole person into balance.

 

As an experienced hypnotherapist, he is certified in guided imagery and visualization. He also furthered his education in hypnotherapy by training with the renowned Dr. Brian Weiss in past life regression.

 

Johnny is a Foundational Practitioner of Reconnective Healing and a Master Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming. He has also completed the program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

 

His academic education includes an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and an M.A. in Psychology from Pepperdine University. He graduated with high honors from the University of Texas at Austin, with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. He is also the author of several scientific research papers, published in peer-reviewed academic journals.

 

Johnny seeks to embody balance in his own life by maintaining a sharp mind through continual learning; a strong body by training in CrossFit and cycling thousands of miles each year; and a harmonious spirit through daily meditation.

Johnny believes that no one ever “needs” his help. We all have within us the full capability to heal and balance ourselves. Johnny’s presence serves to assist his clients in finding their way and to provide a nurturing space that allows balance and healing to happen. He is always grateful and honored to be invited to witness another’s healing journey.

Confidentiality and compassion are assured, whether you choose to have your sessions in-person or remotely (online).

Ultimately, Johnny is aware that his life purpose is to serve others, whether it be through various healing modalities, or simply by offering kind words with a smile.

HYPNOTHERAPY

Certified Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. During clinical hypnosis, the hypnotherapist guides the client to a state of focused attention, then offers suggestions to the subconscious to transform negative habits, thoughts, and feelings. Much of human behavior is governed by the subconscious mind, whose beliefs can be at odds with conscious goals. Hypnosis allows for the gentle shaping of the subconscious mind so that it is in alignment with conscious intent.

I have had several sessions with Johnny Bao to help my long term insomnia issues. He has been the most compassionate and professional therapist I could ever imagine. He always had thorough notes prepared for our sessions – ready to approach my issues from any angle and I’ve always left feeling optimistic and happy to face my life. His hypnotherapy recordings have been my every day companion and brought me much peace and good night sleep. -Vera Vasicek

RECONNECTIVE HEALING

Foundational Practitioner of Reconnective Healing

Reconnective Healing is a form of energy healing that accesses a greater spectrum of frequencies than other kinds of energy work. Researchers believe these frequencies are new to the planet—that we have not had access to these levels of light, energy, and information until recently. Your experience will vary depending on your circumstances.

Johnny, you’ve been a huge help with healing my sprained ankle! Thanks to you and the Reconnective Healing frequencies, I was able to return to work 16 days after the injury. This is remarkable, because the sprain was a bad one – two torn ligaments – and my job requires constant walking while carrying heavy items. During the sessions, I could feel vibrations and pulsing throughout my body. Within my injured ankle, there was a swirling sensation and small, localized vibrations, much like a knitting action. It actually felt as if the ligaments were being sewn back together! I also felt the frequencies working on other parts of my body. I have been battling a long-term case of Lyme disease, which has caused a lot of throat and chest pain (among other symptoms). During the sessions, my throat and chest began to ache intensly, which happens when I am having a die-off. This is a very good thing, since the disease has been difficult to combat, and I am always on the lookout for ways to purge it from my body. The frequencies also worked on my sinuses, right in the area where I get headaches during pollen season. Allergies have been an intractable issue for me, so it’s wonderful to find something that actually works to heal the problem, rather than simply mask the pain, as medications do. Reconnective Healing is absolutely amazing! It’s like nothing else I’ve experienced. And, Johnny, you are one of the kindest, most generous healers I have been blessed to encounter. Thank you so much! -Christina Goforth

HOLISTIC NUTRITION

Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach

Holistic Nutrition enhances a person’s well being by developing a healthy balanced diet plan. It serves as a platform for long term wellness while accounting for the whole person. To achieve person specific nourishment, the health coach teaches the client to listen to their body while also reviewing the latest nutritional studies. A path is carved out by both connecting with the body and staying in touch with recent science.

I have personally witnessed lives transformed by even small changes in how we eat. Nowhere else in our lives can we so effectively inch closer to our optimal wellness than through diet. By choosing 3 times a day to say yes to wellness, clients have quickly realized (in as fast as 7 days) genuinely tangible gains in how they feel.

This work, which combines the various modalities you see above (hypnosis, nutrition, and Reconnective Healing), has proven to be quite helpful in varying degrees. You are invited to contact Johnny (at the bottom of this page) and discuss whether this work might be helpful for you.

It is true. You gave me HOPE. You gave loving support. Every time I went to see you, I released all my stress. I felt peace in my soul. At night when I couldn’t sleep, I had your tapes to hear which helped me to calm down and not cry but to make new plans for my next day. What you did for me I never will forget it. Thank you!!!!!!!
