“Thank you again for all of the wonderful teaching you are leading us through and the beautiful safe space you have created.”
“I am feeling much more nourished, even as I grapple with some intense anxiety about returning to my job as a teacher this fall.”
Morgan/ Teacher- Group participant“This work was worthwhile!
“When I started working with Annie I was dealing with grief over the losses of the last few years and overwhelm as a caregiver. As we complete our 6 months of coaching, the challenges I’ve been through in the past few years feel sufficiently acknowledged.”
Sarah/ Occupational Therapist- 1:1 Coaching & Mentorship“I cannot recommend Annie enough - as a guide, coach, and all-around beautiful soul to work with!”
“I’m a hospitalist physician and creative nonfiction writer and I’ve worked with Annie for about nine months now.
Our time together, for me, has been absolutely transformative.
Annie has a very special ability to meet me right where I am in our sessions - and this has been especially helpful for me both as a frontline healthcare worker during this pandemic and also as a person who is relatively early in discovering and nurturing her creative writing voice. In our time together, even over Zoom (!), Annie truly and authentically holds space - creating a container that feels like such a safe realm for real honesty, vulnerability, and deep communication.
I come away from our sessions feeling not only a renewed sense of calm and clarity, but also a bit of excitement knowing I have new tools in my toolkit to help navigate some of the challenges of being in this world - whether it is the heaviness of processing old traumas or the burgeoning delight of delving into the creative realm.
Our work together, in a very real and practical way, carries into my day-to-day life, whether I am seeing patients in the hospital or grappling with a writing project, and provides me with both a groundedness and a kind of inspired curiosity that have been tremendously beneficial for me.”
Sarah/ Hospitalist Physician M.D - 1:1 Coaching & Mentorship“I feel so much more at peace after class.”
“I love that we are not trying to solve things, but we share our grief, our challenges, and our bittersweet love for the world. It's like we are holding each others' hands.”
Robin/ Educator- Group participant “Annie is the safe space that you’ve been looking for.”
“I work as a massage therapist and I’m a highly sensitive person that struggles with anxiety. Like many other medical professionals, I found that practicing during the thick of the pandemic started to take its toll on me.
I began coaching with Annie when I decided that burning out from compassion fatigue wasn’t good for my health anymore.
Our coaching sessions have guided me back to taking care of myself by learning how to resource within my life and own body through somatic movement practices and breath work.
Annie’s ability to hold space with radical consent and trauma informed care is SO nourishing. Her unique method of co-creating a map of our healing journey together allowed for tracking the small and mighty changes through what sometimes seems like the chaos of life. Her attention to detail and the building of a therapeutic relationship created the right amount of alchemy to allow the limiting stories living in my body to be expressed, witnessed and released at the pace they needed.
I found the combination of Annie's vast experience as an RMT with somatic coaching practices made me feel less alone by being seen first as a person then as a practitioner.
I highly recommend Annie to any massage therapist or medical professional who is ready to relearn how to nourish themselves, to take steps towards an embodied life and to receive the support that we sometimes forget we need. We have to fill our own cup before we can help others.”
Jennifer, Registered Massage Therapist- 1:1 Coaching & Mentorship“I started working with Annie during a time of transition.”
I was wrestling with how best to tap into and use my creative energy. Annie helped me access what I knew to be true for me so I could move forward with confidence and excitement!”
Jen, Registered Social Worker/Therapist- 1:1 Coaching & Mentorship“This program has been really beneficial in two key ways.”
“It helped me feel less alone in the complexity of my midlife transitions, and it helped me synthesize much of my lived experience, lifelong writing practice, past somatic work and current training as a psychotherapist. In other words, it's helped a lot with my self-integration.”
Meredith/ Psychotherapist in training- Group participant “I want to share how unique and healing your approach is and how clearly you embody the principles you are sharing.”
“I am very glad I reached out to you when I did as the caregiver me has been more than pressed upon for a long time now. I am even allowing myself to dream that the creative me could live beside all that I swim in right now rather than thinking it had to do with finding time. Really what you offer is space, time-less-ness, and the permission to soften as a matter of course.”
