about paula
Paula Johnson lives an unconventional life based in Tauranga, New Zealand.
Born an adventurous spirit - always seeking, exploring, creating and dreaming through her vivid imagination as a child, she's carried these traits into adulthood. Currently a wanderlusting website designer, crazy cat lady house sitter, and self-published author.
Paula believes synchronicity's are nudges from the Universe, and if we are open to feeling them (intuition) and then following them with our heart (for our head will stop us) life can be an amazing unfoldment of opportunities and experiences. That's certainly how she's been living her life for the past three decades!
Paula’s 3-week writing course has been so much more than just learning how to write — it’s been inspiring and deeply healing. I feel so much more confident now that I actually understand how to start, and Paula made it simple and fun to explore the key aspects of a book and the kind of story I want to tell. Her guidance on bringing our writing to life through dialogue and creativity was gold!

I absolutely loved this class! I felt truly inspired, motivated and excited to write. For the first time, I truly believe I can turn my long-time dream of writing a book into reality.

Mel - The Luminary Soul
In the warmth of a small group setting, we explored the 'how’s’ of self-mentor writing. As each session layered into the next, it was an evening I embraced for myself. And wow, it’s opened my ignorant eyes and found a new heart space within, a creative outlet to express through my pen. My Soul thanks you Paula, just the wisdom I needed to believe in myself.
