​

As a perpetual student of life, Ann has spent the better part of three decades immersed in the world of non-fiction literature. She continuously explores the intersection of the mind, body, and spirit, seeking wisdom that she can integrate into her teachings and personal development. If she's not nose or ear-deep in the latest book or podcast on trauma, or neuroscience, she is likely enrolled in an online course.

Her coaching is grounded in the belief that soul alignment is the key to a meaningful life, and she assists her clients in their journey toward self-discovery and personal growth using meditation, guided journey, accessing intuition, becoming a compassionate witness, and similar practices that support reclaiming trust in your wisdom. 

 

Intuitive Practioner

Ann's commitment to holistic well-being extends to her certification as an Intuitive Practitioner from the renowned shaman and medium Lori Lipten's School called Sacred Balance. This additional dimension to her expertise allows her to connect even more deeply with her clients and students.
