Born and raised in South Australia. Anna lives in a seaside country town south of Adelaide. Anna started querying the call of her inner most being at the age of ten, started answering the call in her twenties and honouring the call in her early thirties.
She believes we are always being called to come back to wholeness, to our true nature, to rise from the ashes and to heal fiercely, love passionately, and live authentically.
But, life was not always about listening to and honouring ‘the call’. To cut a very long story short,
After years of sexual abuse as a child and experiencing what no child should have once, let alone years of intrusive acts, Anna turned to unhealthy and at times life threatening partying and activities, trying to numb and feel all at the same time.
With two premature babies, panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts and plans, workaholic, chronic self-punisher, she lived on diuretics, laxatives, developed an eating disorder, and the panic attacks which consumed her would wake her up, keep her up, prevent her from falling asleep and would allow her an average of three to five hours sleep a night for years.
Is it any wonder that when she contracted two viruses, which wiped her out for nearly seven years. Her body, mind, soul, spirit……. broken.
“It was time to lovingly pull myself up by the boot laces. It was the final kick up the pants, slap up the back of the head by the universe I needed. I realized no matter what had happened in the past or what was happening right now, it was only me who could alter the trajectory in my life. It was only me who could do the work.”
We can never look outside of ourselves for health, happiness, wealth, healing, contentment, joy, peace. Our inner wisdom is the key to vibrant health, to healing, to living fully.
Anna realized if she wanted to change and have lasting change, to find flow in life, to listen, to honour, and grow, she must commit to mastering her inner dialogue, her mind, the voice within, the queen of mean. She now only ever listens to and honours the voice of truth and has healed herself to live a life of her choice.
She now teaches others to do the same. Teaching women no matter their age and stage in life, they can thrive. That no matter what has happened in your life, it will only hold you back, weigh you down, eat you up, if you allow it. It’s your choice. Anna spends her life as an advocate for women’s health and wellbeing, she teaches and shares no matter what has transpired in your life……………..
You can heal fiercely
Love passionately
Live authentically
And
Heal the whole woman.
