“Do you know those moments when everything seems right and falls into place? Situations where you clearly feel what is right? As if the Universe is giving you a nudge in the right direction. That’s what I call Angel Kisses.”
Maria Johanna, from the introduction to the book
“With my story, I want to remind you that anything is possible.” – Maria Johanna
Her father forces her to break off her first relationship and threatens to disinherit her. Later she has a good job, but she secretly cries in the office toilet.
Is this it now?
She leaves for Thailand and returns with a single dream: to write. Her father reacts angrily. “Just don’t think you’ll ever get another euro from me!”
What if you follow your own dream?
Then she meets a mysterious Brazilian. The attraction is overwhelming, but he carries a dark secret.
‘Do you know what your third eye is?’
Through him, she discovers Ayahuasca. Her world opens up, but her relationship and her sense of certainty are also called into question.
What remains when everything collapses?
Back in the village where it all began, she has to make a choice: keep being who everyone wants her to be, or become who she truly is. She leaves everything behind and moves to Bali. A year and a half later, she receives an important phone call from her father.
When you think it’s the end, it’s actually just getting started.
An honest, personal story, for anyone who has ever wondered: is this really it?
“In the apparent end of a chapter may lie the beginning of a whole new story.”

Angel Kisses is based on the life of Maria Johanna, but not everything is literally true. It is written from her own perspective, and names and certain details have been changed. This is precisely what allowed her to tell her story freely and honestly.
About Maria Johanna's search for herself: love, her family's expectations, and the courage to choose her own path. The story takes place between 2000 and 2016.
The book had been finished for a while, but Maria Johanna didn't dare to really release it to the world for a long time. After that, she took a sabbatical. In 2026, she felt: now is the time. You can finally read it.
Yes. It’s a smooth read, with short chapters that make you want to keep reading. In the introduction, Maria Johanna writes that she is telling her story as if you are sitting together in a cozy little café. And that is exactly how it feels: with laughter and tears.
Certainly. This is not a guide, but a story about love, your family’s expectations, and the courage to choose your own path. About half of it is about Maria Johanna’s experiences with ceremonies, and she simply takes you along with her. You don’t need to know anything about it.
For anyone who feels there must be more. Your life may look fine on the outside, but something is gnawing at you on the inside. You ask yourself: is this all there is? This book is for anyone who is curious about the depths of life and dares to search for what truly matters.
For anyone who simply wants to lose themselves in a good story. Love, passion, a dark secret, and a father who won't let you go so easily. This story will effortlessly take you on an emotional journey. You'll read it with both laughter and tears.
For anyone struggling with what others expect of you—your parents, your work, or your love. You recognize the struggle between dutifully going along and following your own heart, and you are looking for the courage to make your own choice.
For anyone who wants to get to know Maria Johanna better. Discover the story behind House of Oneness: how it began, long before a single bottle ever existed.
Sometimes. The book is about, among other things, ceremonies with plant medicines and about sexually transgressive behavior. It is written from Maria Johanna’s own experience and is not an encouragement to imitate this.
For Maria Johanna, an Angel Kiss is that goosebump moment when you feel you are heading in the right direction, as if the angels are giving you a push.
