Life Coaching for Individuals
Take the Wave!
Life coaching with Britta is for people who are ready to “take the wave” of life, who commit themselves to a fulfilling life and who have decided they won’t settle for anything less than a full way of living that uses their talents and skills completely.
With Britta’s guidance you will learn that fulfillment is not something that will happen for some people sometimes, but is available to everyone in this present moment, and every moment that follows, for those who choose to really be here and play full out.
Britta’s vision is a world of present and passionate people, committed to Living Love, and making a difference in the lives of others while living life fully themselves. Britta will always hold you to the biggest picture of what you can be, and remind you of the song of your soul in those times when you forget it.

"Having a commitment to these coaching sessions even when I felt very resistant has been a gift that has helped me to change some very old patterns. The sessions have been very alive and truthful, followed up with 'homework' that I have chosen with wise suggestions from Britta, to practice and then be responsible to check in about, which has been very grounding and empowering. I have been able to share experiences with Britta that seemed so private to me that I couldn't connect to other human beings in those spaces. I love and appreciate Britta’s particular way of inviting me to feel all the parts of myself without judgment and even delight. Britta’s integrity is one that I trust completely. I am moved by the availability of her heart to feel my deepest yearning, combined with her laser direct honesty and earthy practicality to bring forth those changes in my world."
~ Rajyo Huntley, RN, Marin County, CA
"The coaching relationship with Britta has allowed me to appreciate myself more. It has helped me see myself more as a whole, deserving and important being, not just a worker.
Britta is incredibly caring and intuitive, and focuses on me as an individual, not as just a variation of a template. As well, she includes the spiritual (my soul as it were) in working with me, which in my experience is often lacking in conventional coaching or therapy."
~ Joel Berman, Tax Consultant, LA, CA
"I have never experienced such a combination of deep emotional work combined with practical “life coaching” as in my weekly phone sessions with Britta. It has really helped me to make concrete, profound, essential changes that I wished to make in my tired busy day-to-day life. I have had several powerful awakenings, found many answers that lie deep within myself, and have come up with ways to be really happy with myself and the people around me."
~ Price Snedaker, Mother of three and homemaker, New York

Couple's Coaching
Britta is passionate about helping couples to create conscious relationships full of presence, true intimacy, love, passion, depth and joy!
As most of us have experienced, the “Honeymoon Phase” of a relationship may last 3, 6 or even 12 months, but it will end. At that point in their relationship, couples often find themselves in a power struggle with their partners, which can lead to feelings of anger and shock, despair and sadness. Couples wonder what happened to their dream and might experience this disillusionment as quite painful. But there is hope. In fact, the pain and conflict of committed relationships arise not out of lack of love for our partners, but from a misunderstanding of what our struggles in love relationships are about. These power struggles if faced with awareness and compassion can actually take a couple deeper and deeper into intimacy; out of our projections, dreams and imaginations of what love is into a REAL lasting and mature love. In Britta’s view relationships are like spiritual gold mines for couples that seek to awaken and be conscious with one another. There is no greater teacher than the journey of intimate relationship.
In couple’s coaching with Britta, you will learn:
• How to turn conflict into connection
• How to stay alive and connected in our true feminine and masculine essence, and how not to become gender neutral and asexual.
• How to understand your partner’s “hot buttons” and how to be compassionate with them, therefore helping each other heal your wounds instead of pouring salt on them.
• How to be present with one another, even in the most uncomfortable or emotionally challenging situations
• How to create true intimacy (INTO ME YOU SEE) and passion through honesty. “The truth shall set us free”
• How to understand and tend to your partner’s needs without loosing yourself
• How to use couplehood as a spiritual path to Awakening
"Having Britta as our premarital coach provides a loving forum in which we can safely explore the beautiful and difficult issues we have as a couple. Britta's guided exploration of these issues is like a roadmap to help us find our way out of the dark woods when we're in them and, sometimes, to see that where we are is really where we wanted to be all along. Our work with her assists us in developing a loving language in our relationship that is honest to who we are individually and as a man and a woman. Her years and years of work helping men and women step into their power and own the gifts life has brought them through struggle and success makes her an invaluable resource and compassionate heart for the couple who is willing to look honestly and lovingly at themselves and their relationship. Britta helps us to see how every event, feeling, and concern we have in our relationship is a gift we can use to grow and to step into an even deeper loving relationship with each other.” ~ Elizabeth Hatrick & Greg Scheib
"Britta Johnson has helped us develop our ability to listen to each other and speak with receptive hearts. She has facilitated our learning the only true trans-cultural, trans-gendered, trans-personal language: presence. Though we are a work in progress, as is any valuable pursuit of gold, we are working, and Britta has helped illuminate the innate skills we have as vulnerable beautiful human beings growing with each other. As a result, we feel empowered as a couple and blessed with courage. Britta's unique ability to hold honoring, unbiased, humble, raw, and nurturing space has inspired us to build a healing container. In so doing, we are learning how to disentangle our projections, to take emotional responsibility for ourselves and emotional accountability with each other." ~ Love, Nancy & Blair Carter

Spiritual Coaching
For most people it is very helpful to have someone to support them on their spiritual journey, as they grow closer to the Divine. Britta provides a prayerful, meditative and holistic space for individuals seeking to nourish their spiritual lives, guiding them in strengthening their personal connection to God. As a seasoned world traveler her own spiritual journey from the ashrams of the Far East to the spiritual traditions of the Christian Mystics have enabled her to enrich the spirituality of those from diverse faith traditions. Her spiritual coaching is non-denominational, and anyone from any spiritual path can take what they learn in the coaching with Britta and use it to enhance their own unique path.
As a spiritual guide, Britta assists you in:
• Discerning of your unique spiritual path, your specific call, your gifts and your personal challenges on your spiritual path
• Noticing and responding to the movement of Spirit as experienced in prayer, meditation and in the events of ordinary life.
• Developing a contemplative attitude
• Exploring different contemporary prayer and meditation styles and forms
"My relationship with Britta as a spiritual coach has helped me to flower as a human being. More than any other spiritual development work that I have done in recent years, Britta’s coaching has helped me to focus intensely towards my core issues, and to face them with compassion and awareness so that they could be healed. My life has changed dramatically! Rather than having a gaping hole that needed love for fulfillment, I have come into a space where the love I feel for myself is so strong that it overflows in my life. I truly have felt a fundamental lasting shift in my being. I now feel deeply connected to Spirit. Britta has an amazing gift of empathy and compassion that she brings into all her work. "
~ Pavan A. - Analyst Charles Schwab, San Francisco, CA

Be Gentle
Be gentle, my Beloved
Be gentle
No pushing, no forcing, no punishing
Be gentle
Let is happen
Let it come to you in its own time
Be gentle
The precious gem of your being
Needs gentle loving kindness
No hammer, no chisel and no axe
Will force it to the surface
Only patience, love and gentle persistence
Are like sunshine and water
To your fragile inner flower
Be gentle
Forgive yourself and forgive the other
For we all did not know what we were doing
Allow your innate intelligence to do the work
It’s all happening in its perfect time
Always…
You’re exactly where you are meant to be
RIGHT NOW
Keep going strong
But tread gently on your path to freedom
Yes, please keep going, and never ever ever ever give up.
And always remember
Be gentle, my precious Beloved!

"Jim & I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. We feel so blessed that Britta married us. To this day, when our friends and family talk about our special day they always state that our ceremony was quite exceptional and how wonderful our officiate (Britta) was. They tell us that she made it so personal to fit us. We couldn't be happier with the ceremony that Britta performed for us, it was specialized for us, to represent our beliefs, our personalities, and our love that we have for one another. Thank you, Britta, for not only being our officiate, but for making our wedding ceremony truly unique for us!" ~ Jim & Lucretia Lewitt
"Britta provided thought-provoking guidance as we created our marriage ceremony that reflected not only our true feelings for each other, but also our beliefs about what the ritual of marriage means to us. She was the calm center of our ceremony who held space for what was truly important on that day: our enacting of our lifelong commitment to each other. Having her as our marriage minister gave us both the peace of mind that no matter what else occurred on our wedding day, the soul of what we had envisioned would come to fruition."
~ Greg & Elisabeth Scheib
~ MARRIAGE ~
by Kahlil Gibran - "The Prophet"
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love;
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though the quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together;
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

~ 1st CORINTHIANS ~
In First Corinthians, Chapter 13, the Apostle Paul further describes
the nature and characteristics of love in this way ...
Love is patient, love is kind.
Love is not envious, jealous or boastful.
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on it's own ways.
It is not irritable or resentful.
It does not rejoice at wrong and wrongdoing.
But rejoices in right and truth.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never ends.
So faith, hope and love abide these three.
But the greatest of these...
is Love.
