Today we’d like to introduce you to Paradise Johnson.
Hi Paradise, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my journey in 2010., a deep desire to help people heal beyond the surface. What began as a passion for wellness and self-care grew out of my own experiences with stress, burnout, and the need for balance in mind, body, and spirit. I realized that true healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and spiritual as well.
Through training in holistic massage therapy and aromatherapy, I founded Paradise Essentials as a safe, nurturing space where people can pause, breathe, and restore themselves. Over time, my work evolved from simply providing services to creating intentional experiences rooted in peace, compassion, and healing. Today, I continue to serve my community with purpose, helping others reconnect with themselves while walking confidently in my calling.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a completely smooth road. Like most journeys rooted in purpose, it came with its share of challenges.
One of the biggest struggles was learning to trust myself—my gifts, my vision, and the calling I felt. In the beginning, there were moments of doubt, financial uncertainty, and times when support didn’t come from the places I expected. Building a holistic business meant educating people on the value of healing beyond the physical, which took patience and consistency.
There were also personal challenges—balancing life, growth, and healing while still showing up for others. I had to learn boundaries, self-care, and that rest is just as important as service. Some seasons required rebuilding, refocusing, and realigning with my purpose.
But every obstacle taught me something. Each struggle strengthened my faith, sharpened my resilience, and clarified my “why.” Looking back, the rough parts weren’t roadblocks—they were preparation. They shaped not just the business, but the woman and healer I’ve become today.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a Holistic Massage Therapist and wellness practitioner, and my work centers on helping people slow down, reconnect, and heal—body, mind, and spirit. Through therapeutic massage, aromatherapy, and intentional touch, I create a space where relaxation isn’t just a luxury, but a necessary part of self-care and restoration.
I specialize in holistic, customized massage experiences that go beyond muscle work. Each session is guided by intuition, listening, and the unique needs of the client in that moment. I’m known for creating a peaceful, nurturing environment where people feel safe, seen, and cared for—many of my clients say they leave feeling lighter, grounded, and renewed, not just relaxed.
What I’m most proud of is the impact my work has on people’s lives. Clients often come to me stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and watching them walk away with clarity, calm, and a renewed sense of self is deeply fulfilling. I’m also proud of building Paradise Essentials as a brand rooted in purpose, not just profit—one that truly serves the community.
What sets me apart is my holistic approach and heart for people. I don’t rush sessions, I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care, and I don’t separate physical wellness from emotional and spiritual well-being. I approach each client as a whole person, not just a body on the table. My goal is simple but powerful: to help people find peace, relaxation, and restoration in a world that rarely slows down.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
Absolutely. No journey is walked alone, and I’m deeply grateful for the people who have poured into me and into this business along the way.
First and foremost, I give all honor and glory to God. My faith has been the foundation of my purpose, my resilience, and my vision. In moments of uncertainty, exhaustion, or doubt, prayer and spiritual grounding kept me aligned and reminded me why I started—to serve, heal, and restore.
I’m incredibly thankful for my clients, who have trusted me with their bodies, their stories, and their healing journeys. Many of them became more than clients—they became encouragers, referrals, and walking testimonies of the work I do. Their loyalty, feedback, and word-of-mouth support helped grow Paradise Essentials organically and authentically.
I’m also grateful for my support system—family, friends, and loved ones—who believed in me even when the road wasn’t smooth. They encouraged me during slow seasons, celebrated my wins, and reminded me of my gifts when I felt stretched or unseen.
Along the way, I’ve had mentors and fellow holistic practitioners who shared wisdom, guidance, and insight—whether through business advice, spiritual conversations, or simply leading by example. Their willingness to share knowledge helped me sharpen my skills, protect my energy, and operate with integrity.
Lastly, I appreciate every cheerleader and advocate—those who shared a post, recommended my services, spoke my name in rooms I wasn’t in, or simply checked in to say, “Keep going.” Those moments mattered more than they may ever know.
Each person played a role—whether by planting a seed, watering it, or encouraging me during the growth process. Paradise Essentials is not just my success; it’s a reflection of community, faith, and collective support.
