By profession, I am a banker with 17 years of experience in the corporate world. Throughout my career, I have often felt the pain of those around me who needed healing, yet I lacked the means to help in a humble and impactful way. I joined this course with the intention of supporting others in their healing journeys, but in return, I experienced profound healing myself.
I am deeply grateful to myself for embarking on this path and for the passion and perseverance I have demonstrated—dedicating countless hours and nights to achieve this milestone—despite balancing the responsibilities of raising young children and supporting my family. I now look forward with purpose and optimism, ready to give back as a Transpersonal Counselor, where I have truly found my calling.
By interest, I have pursued education in various psychological fields, including child psychology, happiness life coaching, modern applied psychology, psychological counseling, coaching for highly sensitive people and coaching for highly sensitive children. I have also explored numerous self-help approaches, such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). However, despite my studies, I struggled to find the answers I was seeking.
Today, after completing 82 courses in the Bachelors and Masters programs at UMS, I can confidently recommend this institution to anyone searching for answers and meaningful support. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Christine and the entire team at UMS—I will forever be thankful for their guidance. A special thank you to Judy for providing the invaluable support and encouragement I needed to complete my PhD.
In my late 50s Istarted back to college after raising my family. I did not have a clear direction, but kept attending college after college looking for my destiny (acquired 8 degrees). In the middle of searching for my destiny through acquiring college degrees, my husband of 33 years passed. I felt as though someone had taken a “sling-shot” that exploded me into another realm – a realm of grief which is unexplainable to share. I started wondering who I was and what was my purpose. A friend suggested I watch the documentary called “The Secret.” From watching this film, I became extremely interested in metaphysical energies. I found a college online (University Of Metaphysical Sciences) that would offer the education I was seeking to uncover all the “secrets” to this new realm. This is when I found another destiny I wanted to fulfill – understanding the healing attributes of color energies. UMS gave me that opportunity!

I AM so excited about being alive in this exact time, linear or not, it is a great time to be incarnate. So much gratitude to UMS for their patience and assistance throughout this endeavor, which has covered the entire wing span UMS offers…thank you to all that have been a part of this journey.
I retired in 2012 from 21 years of service in the military and before this opportunity surfaced, I would have always thought I would go right back into that world as a civilian. I AM blessed to have a very supporting family that has been with me throughout. I AM a Beautiful Spirit having a human experience that continues to provide new opportunities. Now what I do is somewhat different. In November (2016) I opened Akashic Awareness in Elizabethtown, Kentucky-an Aquarian Age Healing and Learning Center. I love this as it offers me a very precise means of ‘planting the seed’ in what has long been identified as the “Bible Belt.” I AM also an Advanced Certified Teacher/Practitioner of the Akashic Records using the Pathway Prayer Process© and serve as the Online Student Advisor for the Linda Howe Center for Akashic Studies.
Again, thank you to all the staff at UMS for without you my path would have been somewhat different but I know there is a reason the word ‘if’ is dead in the middle of the word life. In closing, I AM grateful for this and all that is yet to come. I AM truly Blessed and will end by thanking my beautiful wife and son for their love and support. Be Blessed.

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
- Arthur Schopenhauer, Philosopher
My hobbies and passions include surfing, adventure, hiking, camping, playing music, concerts, traveling, time with my friends and my dog. I also invest much of my time doing research into the subjects of human consciousness, paranormal, UFO/Alien related topics and ancient history.
Obtaining my bachelors and masters degrees in Metaphysical Sciences has been exciting, illuminating, fulfilling along with a major sense of accomplishment and pride.To complete and achieve my PhD in Parapsychology and Paranormal Sciences is one of the highlights of my life and am excited to see where these efforts lead.
The pursuit of truth in all its forms has been my focus and driving motivation throughout my life. In addition to seeking truth from within arenas of spirituality, esoterics, science, physics, metaphysics etc, implementing philosophical approaches in helping others cope and obtain truths through healthy narratives has been a gift. Amongst my goals from this educational program is to utilize my communication skill sets paired with metaphysical knowledge and a philosophical approach in ways unique to my character that aim to assist others in need or in search of alternative perspectives, especially pertaining to hard truths presented in our human experiences.
My education with UMS has been crucial to these efforts that will continue to unfold. I am excited and anxiously looking forward to the opportunity to utilize my degrees in meaningful modalities. I am aiming for, and determined to contribute towards research, investigations and program studies within the fields related to UFO/UAP/Extraterrestrials and guided to assist in the truthful narrative of disclosure, should that become reality in our near future. How we receive and obtain truths is often just as important as the truth itself.

Mia Johnson is a Master Certified Coach with a Ph.D. with a Doctorate in Philosophy and a Master's in Psychology, Philosophy, and Neurolinguistics. She is certified in multiple Coaching modalities such as Fascination®, Neurotransformation, Relationships, Divorce, and Parenting. She has cultivated a deep understanding of the Human mind and its untapped potential.
A former Director of a Public Speaking Association, she helped people discover their authentic "voice." By assisting people in uncovering "the stories, they tell themselves" about how the World works and where they fit in the World, finding their natural talents, and developing the ability to communicate in a powerful, effective, and charismatic way. Mia empowered her clients to identify their natural talents and develop powerful communication skills. By employing deep dives into Jungian Shadow Work and Neurolinguistics, a natural born storyteller herself, she weaves an enlightening framework of Psychology, Philosophy particularly Metaphysics which is comprised of abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space, with Neuroplasticity which is the brain's ability to change, making learning new skills possible at any stage of Life.
One's Subconscious Mind is a massive storage unit with virtually unlimited capacity that has recorded every impression to one's senses from birth. The Human brain can process 11 million bits of information every second, while the conscious mind can only handle 40-50 bits per second. 95% of one's brain activity determines the decisions we make, the actions we take, or emotions and behaviors.
One of Mia's fundamental beliefs is in the remarkable capacity for change within the human brain. Drawing upon the concept of Neuroplasticity, she emphasizes that learning new skills and transforming oneself is possible at any stage of life. Mia recognizes the immense power of the subconscious mind, which serves as a vast storage unit that has recorded every sensory impression since birth. Surprisingly, while the conscious mind can only process a mere 40-50 bits of information per second, the brain can handle 11 million bits of information every second. It is within this subconscious realm that 95% of our brain activity resides shaping the decisions we make, the actions we take, and our emotional and behavioral patterns.
In Mia's sessions, she creates a safe and supportive environment, free from shame, blame, and judgment. She understands the risks involved in exploring one's Shadow and believes that a willingness to delve deeply into our issues is necessary for meaningful transformation. Mia's coaching approach allows her clients to feel comfortable and secure as they reveal and confront the parts of themselves that have been ignored or shamed throughout their lives. By reframing these hidden aspects, she helps individuals overcome self-loathing, anxiety, offensive behaviors, and self-sabotage, facilitating the development of healthy relationships and genuine self-acceptance.
Mia Johnson, Ph.D., is an exceptional Shadow Work Coach who combines her profound knowledge of psychology, philosophy, and neurolinguistics with her innate storytelling abilities. With her guidance, individuals embark on a profound journey of self-discovery, uncovering the depths of their subconscious mind and integrating their shadow self. Mia's transformative approach empowers her clients to embrace their authentic selves, gain self-esteem, enhance their creativity, improve relationships, and cultivate greater clarity and compassion.
