Meet Dr. Tracey J.
Dr. Tracey J. Johnson is a survivor, a witness, and a living testimony to the beauty that shows up when a heart is broken open.
Dr. Tracey J. holds a PhD in Philosophy, specializing in holistic life coaching, and is the founder of Open Heart World, a heart-centered platform established in 2017 with a mission to restore the power of love within the heart of humanity. For years she guided others through emotional healing, heart opening, and the clearing of emotional blocks, not yet knowing that she was about to experience, in her physical body, everything she had spent years guiding her clients through.
On July 30th, 2025, Dr. Tracey J. underwent triple bypass open-heart surgery. What followed was not only a physical recovery; it was a sacred journey, a reshaping, and a new understanding of everything she thought she knew about purpose, love, and healing. In the stillness of those early morning hours of recovery, wisdom found her. Revelations came. Love spoke. And everything changed.
She came out on the other side not as someone who teaches about open hearts, but as someone who IS an open heart, serving from lived experience, living it fully, and a compassion that can only come from having truly been broken open.
Dr. Tracey J. is the author of Broken Open: A Truthful Journey Into Your Heart and the creator of the A.I.R. Heart Scan Process, a one-on-one guided experience for identifying and clearing the emotional blocks that hinder the experience of purpose, personal power, and unconditional love from within. She is also the creator of Connect and Paint: Allowing Your Heart to Create the Art, a workshop that combines creativity with emotional healing.
She is the visionary behind Beauty In the Broken Retreat Home, a sacred sanctuary opening soon on her land called Eden in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, where broken places are not erased but transformed into gold.
