meet anna.
Woman, mama, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and intuitive empath.
I am also an Awareness Coach and Yoga Teacher, guiding people to align their body, mind, heart, and soul, and awaken to presence and peace.
“When we expand our awareness beyond the analytical mind, we connect with our highest potential. That is where we find clarity and peace”
As a woman, I embrace my intuition and live a rich inner life supported by meditation, nature, and a deep connection to the earth. While spirituality is a guiding light for me, I remain grounded in the everyday realities of life (oh, laundry!). I like to bring a playful energy to life, and I love having a great sense of humour. I lost my playfulness for a while — stuck in my head and disconnected from my light, I was my own harshest critic. The stress this created led to physical and energetic imbalances, and kept me from understanding myself and my purpose. My embodiment journey has been both magical and essential!
As a mama, I'm learning and growing every day. Having children was a powerful catalyst for my own awakening, and blending my spiritual path with conscious parenting has been both challenging and beautiful. My boys have been my greatest teachers, shining a light on the moments when emotions (often other peoples) overwhelm me. The early years were especially tough—I struggled with limiting beliefs like "I'm a terrible mum" and "I'm too sensitive to handle this." But over time, I found my strength and sense of empowerment. Now, when I get triggered, I'm able to return to my centre quickly and remind my boys that it's me, and not them.
As a wife, daughter, sister, friend, and intuitive empath, I am inspired by connection, love and our shared humanity. Whether it's conversations with loved ones, a kind exchange with a stranger, or laughing until my face hurts with my besties - connection fuels me. My ability to connect deeply and authentically with others is my superpower—it's not uncommon for a stranger to share their life story with me within minutes (or even seconds!) of meeting. I treasure every experience of connection and this extends to nature too (yep, I talk to trees).
As a yoga teacher, I create a space where people can nourish their whole self—body, mind, heart, and soul. My goal is to help people feel grounded and embodied, become deeply present, connect with their higher self and weave it into their yoga practise and their lives.
As a coach, I guide heart centred souls on a journey of self-discovery and awakening to enhance their wellbeing, connect with their essence and create a life of clarity, presence and peace.
