Dr. Loree Johnson has combined her 25 years of professional clinical experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with her own personal fertility journey to help others who are going through similar experiences.

Dr. Johnson helps her clients navigate uncertainty in their relationships and overcome the emotional challenges that come with fertility problems and the loss of a pregnancy. With research-based approaches, including E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) applied through a holistic lens, her clients are able to learn how to connect more deeply with themselves, their partners, and the people in their lives.

Dr. Johnson currently lives and works in the Los Angeles, California area. She and her husband welcomed their rainbow in 2021 after 8 years of trying to conceive, three losses, and one TFMR.

Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute (www.pabrinstitute.com) with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions. Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues and the need for medications. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method. Her ability to speak French and Spanish has allowed her to communicate with and help various clients from all around the world, including France, Mexico, Central America and South America. She has a variety of interests including running 40+ marathons, running 10 ultra marathons (including two 100 milers), completing an Ironman triathlon, photographing wildlife and landscapes all over the world that has led to several of her images being chosen as Photos of the Day, most notably National Geographic Your Shot World Top Photo of the Day.
