The creation of UniverSoul Heart represents the culmination of Kathleen’s lifelong interest in spirituality, metaphysics, and the holistic human experience. Although her journey to this destination was circuitous, and often tumultuous, the life experiences were necessary for her soul’s growth and served to fuel her passion to be of service.

Kathleen’s education includes a B.A. in Psychology and a M.A. in Criminology, both of which were conferred by Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Subsequently, she received training and certification as an expert polygraphist. She embarked upon a career in law enforcement, which spanned more than two decades before her retirement. During this time, she relied heavily on her knowledge of psychology and human behavior in order to bring successful resolution to varied assigned cases. As the years passed, her interest in humanity and the total human experience deepened, accompanied by an increasingly urgent desire to be of service. Her law enforcement career unexpectedly accelerated this yearning, especially during those times when she was required to function as counselor and confidant in furtherance of her duties. She soon realized that these opportunities to be of service were most fulfilling, far eclipsing the more traditional law enforcement roles. Witnessing the devastating effects of crime released a deep need to help and assist in any way possible. Because of this awareness, Kathleen accepted the guidance to follow her intuition and develop the necessary skills to facilitate holistic wellness in others.

 Kathleen also has substantial experience in teaching undergraduate courses at Rowan State University and Salem Community College in New Jersey, and was also Program Director of the Law Enforcement Academy sponsored by Salem County Technical Schools.

She completed extensive post-graduate studies in Mental Health Counseling and Transpersonal Psychology.

Kathleen is a Reiki Master Teacher in Usui/Holy Fire III and Kundalini Reiki. She is also a Certified Past-Life Regression Therapist, and a Certified Crystal Healer, offering Reiki Crystal Healing sessions.

In 2013, Kathleen added teaching to her healing and wellness toolkit. Currently, her guidance has redirected her focus to working with individuals to assist during this pivotal time, and she has stepped away from teaching for the foreseeable future. 

Kathleen is passionate about raising awareness of the benefits of Reiki and holistic wellness. As part of that commitment, Kathleen has been a co-host as well as a presenter and sponsor for the Reiki Rays Annual Summit since its inception in 2017.

She was a presenter at the recent 2022  Reiki Healing Summit, speaking about “Reiki as a Life Companion.“

She has been a featured guest in numerous radio interviews and also hosted “UniverSoul Heart Radio with Kathleen Johnson- Sensible Spirituality for Everyday Living“, on Transformation Talk Radio. Currently, she co-hosts “Beyond the Reiki Gateway” podcast with Reiki Master Andrea Kennedy.

In 2016, she co-founded the Northeast PA Reiki Connection (NEPARC), a Reiki community dedicated to promoting unity and harmony among all those who walk the Reiki path.

In April 2022, Kathleen was selected as Top Reiki Master of the Decade by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) for her outstanding leadership, commitment and dedication.

Writing is one of Kathleen’s passions, and her articles about Reiki and Spirituality are published on Reiki Rays,  Reiki News Magazine, and Medium.com.

She continues to gather information for a book and knows that Reiki will be with her every step of the way.
