Welcome, my name is Anna.

It means so much to me that you have found your way here. Thank you for visiting. 

At 63, my life has many stories. There are so many ways I can start this, and although I have worked for the last 30 years to not let my past define me, it is important, for me, to start there, with the knowledge that it no longer defines me, and it is not who I am.

I grew up in an unstable environment, with an unpredictable physically and emotionally abusive mother and an absent emotionally unavailable father. It is a strange thing knowing that the people who gave me this amazing life, and the chance to appreciate beauty all around me, are also responsible for the emotional scars that lead to work which allows me to able to be warmly present for others. For that I thank them.

I have worked with the trauma held in my body for over 25 years with more modalities than I can remember. From intergenerational work for my childhood, EMDR for my brain, transgenerational work for the ancestral trauma I have carried in my DNA and bodywork for it all. Training, teaching  and being a client, I have had more teachers, and worked with more facilitators and therapists than I can count. Jungian Inner Journeys, Family Constellations, Somatic Experiencing, Compassionate Inquiry and Conscious Dance literally saved my life.

Over the years I have seen first hand how important it is that the person you work with has worked on their own issues. In my opinion it is paramount to be able to keep clients within the boundaries of what they can process and the ability to follow the clients needs, as well as making a safe space, weaving in science based nervous system regulating exercises, grounding exercises, here and now exercises and more, is essential.

I had my first experiences with plant medicine as a teenager. These formed me and opened my mind to thinking, understanding, and seeing the world quite differently than many others. In the summer of 2021 I became life threateningly ill and asked for death. This process included many interesting experiences, the most extreme of which was a series of dimensional shifts and meeting the other than human over a period of four months.

Which obviously lead to a new understanding of both time and reality.

Now, 5 years later, the lived experiences of my life are allowing me to be present in ways only someone who has literally been torn apart in not one, but two dimensions, and come out laughing can. I am grateful for every day I live, every bird I see, every experience I have and cannot imagine being anything other than what I am. 

I am a Registered Nurse, a Systemic Family Constellations Facilitator and founder of Heartspeak, a Somatic Transgenerational Trauma Therapist, a Waldorf Pre-School teacher, a Circle of Security Facilitator, a Neuro-Myo-Fascial Nervous System Regulation Practitioner, a student of Vaajma Biodynamic Craniosacral training, NADA ear acupunture certified/Reiki level 1 certified (non-practicing in both), an artist, a gardener, a conscious dancer, a daughter, a mother, and lover of 3 cats that really needed new homes.

I work with raw cacao, love to blow enormous bubbles, adore costumes, have an award winning garden, know you can never have too much glitter and know that everything on this planet is sentient.

I am happy, fulfilled and stunned over how abundant life is.

I look forward to meeting you. 

Let us work, laugh, and love.

All the best,

Anna
