Johnny grew up in a small town in Canada. As a young boy, he was able to see the world in a different way than most, seeing peoples auras and connecting with subtle energies that filled the air. At age 13 he was introduced to marijuana, which revealed to him this world of altered states of consciousness and accessing spiritual realms through plants. He then began to treat this medicine as a drug, which encouraged many years of deep suffering, rooted from childhood traumas and ancestral wounds. At the age of 25 he followed an inner voice to South America. A solo three-month trip changed the course of his life, which included living with an Amazonian indigenous tribe, experiencing solitude and partaking in various plant medicine ceremonies throughout Columbia, Ecuador & Peru.
Now with more hope in his life, Johnny stayed connected to plant medicine, returning to the amazon and eventually seeking out Iboga. After one ceremony, he experienced wonderful inner changes. Now a father, he knew that he needed to take a new life direction. Johnny dedicated himself as a student under various experts within African, Celtic and Native American healing practices. He dedicated himself as a student of the medicine. During a self-guided ceremony, the spirit of Iboga told him that he was now ready to work with the medicine to help others. He began facilitating one on one ceremonies, which would slowly develop in time to larger in depth retreats.
Johnny is proud to represent the spirit and nature of this medicine, guiding others through their experience and making sure that they get the most from their time with it. Combined with his other healing skills, such as NVC, breathwork and intuitive energy healing, he brings a unique approach to this work.
Geraldine grew up in Ireland and moved to Canada when she was 20.
It was in Toronto where she met her life partner Johnny. This relationship in many ways triggered the start of her spiritual growth, causing her to now face her unhealed childhood traumas and ancestral wounds. As the years went on more layers of her shadows would surface, forcing her to continue on her healing path.
Geraldine was relentless, seeking out as much help as she could find, working with medicine men in the amazon, various healers in the west and doing as much personal inner work as she could.
Now a mother, Geraldine’s shadows began to surface on yet another level. She began working with Iboga and immediately noticed big changes in her life. She travelled to the source of the medicine in Gabon, and received her initiation and rights of passage from the Bwiti tribe. She continued to work with the medicine on her own and had many breakthroughs, finally getting to the source of her issues.
Johnny and Geraldine began facilitating Iboga ceremonies one on one, which would slowly develop over the years to larger in depth retreats. Now, this emotionally and spiritually developed woman stands to help others in overcoming the same darkness that she went through, fully utilizing all of her experience with the medicine and from all the other tools she learned along her path.

The Perfect Setup for an Inner Journey
I honestly wasn't too sure what to expect from the weekend upon arrival. I had had several calls and I knew I felt comfortable and safe with Johnny and I had knowledge of the practicalities of what was going to happen. What I couldn't have known is how well these practicalities were organised in order to provide me with the best setting for an absolutely incredible inner journey. Everything from the house, the location, the size of the group but also Johnny himself and the additional elements he included such as breath work contributed to this. During the session itself everything came together and culminated into a feeling of complete gratitude for every element of the journey and I cannot imagine a more powerful or more beautiful experience. I have so much gratitude and cannot recommend Get to the Root highly enough.

Carl Danza, review
I can’t thank Johnny and Geraldine enough for the space that they held during this retreat, which is nothing short of amazing. Such loving, calming and positive energy that emanates from them made me feel very comfortable as if I knew them for years. This is a truly powerful medicine and I have felt a huge shift internally after my stay. I would also like to add that Johnny has continued to help me with my healing journey since I have met him.
For anybody who is on a healing journey looking to sit with this medicine I’d highly recommend Get to the Root. It’s a safe, loving and comfortable space for healing, and I look forward to going again, Thank you!
