This conversation with my friend Maggie Calder, for the Zen-Den podcasts, captures some of my journey.
Robin Denise Johnson, Ph.D.
Dr. Robin is a naturally interdisciplinary educator and coach, seamlessly weaving together insights from her diverse interests and experiences. With formal education and extensive training in various esoteric and psychological systems, she excels at synthesizing complex ideas into practical, accessible wisdom.
Known for her ability to distill intricate concepts into easy-to-understand nuggets, Dr. Robin communicates with compassionate clarity, making her a trusted guide for clients, students, and program participants alike.
For decades, Dr. Robin has worked professionally with a wide array of systems, including Human Design-Gene Keys, Tarot, Astrology, the I Ching, Numerology, Chakras, and the Kabbalah Tree of Life. She is also experienced in more traditional psychological frameworks such as the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, the Birkman Method, StrengthsFinder, and DISC.
These various systems are all “languages”— meaning-making tools that help you understand, integrate, and express different aspects of yourself.
Dr. Robin’s goal in every reading, class, and workshop is to empower you to make the best decisions and to embrace your authentic self with love and confidence.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
