My name is Anna, and I love showing people how beautiful and strong and capable they are. I’ve been offering 1:1 coaching for about 3 years now and it is genuinely what I was put on this earth to do. I am here to love and remind others how to love. I deeply care about helping humans release the pressure, tension, and emotional weight we carry. I believe we are all capable of building beautiful, supportive lives when we have the right tools and a safe space to reconnect with ourselves and sense our feelings in our bodies.
Over the past six years, I’ve devoted myself to studying stress, trauma, emotional processing, relationships, and communication. I didn’t just learn it from books and professionals. I also lived through it. Five years ago I was chronically overwhelmed, having horrible digestive issues, extremely socially anxious, recovering from a series of toxic relationships, and wishing I wouldn't wake up almost every night I went to sleep.
Today my stomach is so happy and digests food like a champ. My skin is so soft and healthy. I feel relaxed most of the time and when I do struggle with a feeling, I generally move through it within a few minutes or at most a few hours. I have cultivated so many beautiful friendships and I am getting really good at engaging with strangers and connecting with my community. I feel very confident in my social interactions and I actively seek them out. I literally teach and model social skills and it’s so fun to socialize now, I actually get excited instead of anxious (most of the time).
During my healing journey I have cultivated such a deep and enriching love for life, for myself, and for humanity. Not to mention a love for our magical planet and all of the incredible creatures we share it with. My journey has been messy and imperfect and I still have hard days now and then; but it has also been filled with so much wonder, love, joy, depth, magic, strength, and the kind of growth, capability, appreciation, and bravery I once thought was impossible.
I used to stay small in relationships, focus on others, and avoid sharing my real feelings because I was never taught how to clearly communicate with myself or others, process my emotions, or navigate challenging situations. So my default was to shut down. Now I intentionally practice taking up space, expressing what I want and don't want, setting boundaries, crying, laughing, and letting myself be seen and appreciated. I actively see, appreciate, and care for myself first and foremost. I believe we teach other people how to love us by how well we love ourselves. And the more we love ourselves, the more we have to share with others. We glow and move differently when we are filled with love from ourselves.
I feel excited to be here, to create, to connect, to keep learning, and to support people like you. I believe everything we need is within us and we just need to learn how to focus on it long enough to see it. So that's really all I do. I focus on you with love, curiosity, and compassion long enough for you to see how much love and magic already exists inside you and then you can play with it and influence it. Our bodies are magical animals and the better we get at nurturing them, the more powerful they become and the more we can work with them instead of working against them and trying to control them. Connection is more powerful and more fun than control.
Everything I teach is something I practice. These tools and practices have profoundly changed my life, and I’ve seen how healing one person’s relationship with themselves can ripple out to everyone around them. That’s why I do this work. I do it to help people feel safe in their own skin and more connected in their relationships, so we can build stronger, kinder, and safer communities together. And hopefully heal the planet along the way.
I believe the way we treat ourselves and each other has the power to change the world. And I believe we’re all worth the effort.
