Meet The Team
Brooke Johnson
I am Brooke Johnson, a 35-year-old native of Lexington, Kentucky, and a person in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. I am the mother of three beautiful children, my core motivators on this journey of health and wellness. I have experienced many adversities throughout my adult and childhood life, but, thanks to God, I have received the tools, knowledge, and people needed to overcome them. My bottom was when I became pregnant with my third child and had an overwhelming feeling of being very close to death. Also, in my heart I could not leave another child behind because of my addictions. This eventually led me to surrendering my life to the Lord and seeking the help I needed, while I was with child. I admitted myself (along with my family, lol), to Karen’s Place Maternity Center in Louisa, Ky, where unbeknownst to me, I would meet my second family. From then on, my life has been nothing short of glorious. I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, I am an
adult peer support specialist, and a certified targeted case manager. I have gained custody of my youngest child and joint custody of my two eldest children, and I am a homeowner! More importantly than all the above, I found a purpose in life, to give to others what was given to me, a chance to recover, and guidance throughout this thing called life!
