Having emerged from the transformative chrysalis, Johnny continued developing through inner cultivation. He earned a Master’s Degree in Psychology, in addition to innumerable multi-disciplinary trainings, embracing diverse fields of study to enrich his understanding, broaden his perspective and deepen his skills.
