Behind the Name
Since I was a child, I’ve been mesmerized by the moon. No matter where I was, la luna was always there—constant, luminous, and unwavering. She brought me peace, a quiet reminder that I was held, guided, and never truly alone.
​
As I grew, my connection to la luna deepened. She became more than a source of comfort—she became a mirror, reflecting back the cycles of life, transformation, and renewal.
It was through this wisdom that I found the courage to step fully into my purpose, releasing what no longer aligned and embracing the path of healing, connection, and self-discovery.
​
That is the essence of Luna Serenity. A space to come home to yourself. A space to soften, to realign, to remember. Just as la luna moves through her phases with grace, we, too, are meant to evolve, to shed, to shine.
There is a rhythm to our healing, a sacred unfolding. La luna has shown me the way—and now, I want to share that journey with you.
Join me.
ABOUT JOHANNA
The journey that led to Luna Serenity is one I hold close to my heart.
I discovered yoga as a young adult while working at an anti-trafficking nonprofit in Washington, D.C. At the time, I was simply searching for a way to prioritize self-care—to find stillness in the midst of intensity. After my very first class, I felt something shift. There was a deep sense of connection—to my body, my breath, and the world around me. I kept returning to the mat, and over time, yoga became a sacred space—a refuge that grounded me through life’s many transitions.
A few years into my personal practice, I experienced the profound loss of my grandmother—my first encounter with grief that felt truly life-altering. In that tender season, yoga became my sanctuary. It helped me process the waves of emotion and offered a path to stay connected to my body and spirit when the ground beneath me felt unsteady. That was when I realized: yoga was so much more than movement. It was a way of living. A way of remembering.
A year later, I became pregnant with my first daughter. I joined a prenatal yoga class, and during one of the sessions, the teacher guided us through a visualization of a passed loved one holding our baby. Instantly, I saw my grandmother. The veil between the physical and spiritual world lifted—and I knew, in that moment, that my practice was expanding. It was no longer just personal; it was ancestral, maternal, and deeply spiritual.
As I moved through the many phases of motherhood, I continued to evolve my practice. It became a vessel for growth, awareness, and healing. I felt called to go deeper—studying various energy healing modalities like Reiki, Crystalline Consciousness, sound healing, sacred cacao, and meditation. I completed specialized trainings in prenatal, postnatal, and fertility yoga, all while honoring the sacred role of motherhood through every breath, posture, and pause.
Yoga—and the vibrational healing practices I’ve since embraced—have completely transformed how I live, how I mother, and how I move through the world. These practices reconnected me to something ancient, something within me. And I knew, with every part of my being, that this was a gift I was meant to share.
Mission
At Luna Serenity, we create sacred spaces for self-discovery and healing—because personal well-being is the foundation of collective liberation. Through yoga, vibrational sound therapy, communal circles, retreats, and energy healing, we guide individuals and organizations back to balance—body, mind, and spirit.
​
We believe self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a radical act that fuels resilience, equity, and social change. When individuals are nourished, workplaces thrive, and communities strengthen. That’s why we partner with corporations and nonprofits to integrate holistic wellness into professional spaces—offering transformative experiences that prevent burnout, foster belonging, and create cultures of care.
​
Together, we are shaping a world where healing is both personal and communal, and where well-being leads to liberation for all.
ABOUT
LUNA SERENITY
Luna Serenity was created as a sanctuary—an invitation to come home to yourself.
​
At the heart of this work is the understanding that healing is layered. It moves through the physical body, resonates in the vibrational field, and unfolds in the emotional landscape of our being. Each offering within Luna Serenity is designed to support this sacred process:
-
The physical practice deepens self-connection, allowing you to explore presence and embodiment.
-
The vibrational level moves energy through the body, creating space for emotional release and healing.
-
The emotional realm opens the door to reflection, transformation, and personal growth.
Every session is an opportunity to shift, to soften, to awaken—to reclaim the parts of yourself that may have been forgotten or set aside.

The Roots of this Work
As a first-generation daughter of immigrant parents from Ecuador and Nicaragua, my journey of self-discovery has been deeply intertwined with the process of reconnecting and reclaiming ancestral traditions. For more than 15 years, I have explored and honored these practices—not just as tools for self-care, but as pathways to liberation.
​
I have had the privilege of guiding over a thousand individuals through sacred cacao, sound healing, meditation, yoga, and breathwork—practices that transcend the individual and ripple into the collective. In my work, healing is not just personal; it is interwoven with the stories, resilience, and wisdom of those who came before us.
​
Training & Credentials
I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, specializing in Prenatal and Fertility Yoga, as well as a Certified Meditation Teacher, Usui Reiki Master, and Crystalline Consciousness Technique (Level 2) Practitioner.

​
At its core, Luna Serenity is about reclamation—of rest, of ritual, of rhythm. It is about healing as resistance, about finding liberation through stillness, through movement, through vibration.
