Deidre Ann Johnson, founder of The Wellness Hub NYC, is a seasoned wellness professional — a licensed physical therapist and a licensed massage therapist — with over 25 years of experience in the healing arts. Her expertise reflects her extensive work in hospital, private practice, and nursing home settings.

Home and office environments impact physical well-being, so Deidre is also a certified ergonomic assessment specialist, conducting both on-site and remote assessments in the home or office.

In her personal life, Deidre was a competitive powerlifter, well-acquainted with the impacts of pain and injury. She deeply understands the challenges of pain and injury recovery from personal and professional perspectives.

Leveraging her unique combination of experience and recognizing the limitations of traditional healthcare models, which often focus solely on symptom management, Deidre has developed a holistic approach to client care that addresses the root causes of pain and discomfort.

Inspired by a desire to empower individuals with true, lasting well-being, Deidre founded The Wellness Hub NYC, a distinctive space where healing goes beyond traditional recovery care.

Deidre holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from SUNY Downstate Medical Center and a massage therapy certificate from the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences. She is also a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist from The Back School of Atlanta. She is currently pursuing credentialing and Board Certification as a Health and Wellness Coach, enabling her to guide and empower clients to achieve their personal health and wellness goals through evidence-based practices, motivational support, and personalized strategies.

She was inspired to create The Wellness Hub after working most of her career in traditional settings – like hospitals, private practices, nursing homes, and home care – where treatment usually takes a symptoms-based approach.

While her clients felt better temporarily, they weren’t truly healing because the root causes of their pain weren’t being addressed.

Deidre is the co-author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Weight Training.”

She was also a two-time National and World Champion Powerlifter in the American Drug-Free Powerlifting Association in the 122-lb weight class.
