Anita Johnston

I’m Dr. Anita Johnston a depth psychologist, author, and storyteller. My book, Eating in the Light of the Moon, using myth, metaphor and storytelling to transform struggles with food, has been published in seven languages. Currently I’m the Founder and Executive Clinical Director of Ai Pono Hawaii and Founder of the online platform, Light of the Moon Café.
My life’s work has been to weave together archetypal psychological principles, indigenous wisdom, and modern neuroscience to help illuminate the deeper meaning of our internal struggles. I use the language of symbolism and story to move beyond the confines of logical, linear thought and enter the intuitive landscape of the psyche--where insight, transformation and healing await. I believe that by reconnecting with the depth and breadth of multiple aspects of who we are, we can find balance, freedom and ease in our creative endeavors.
