About
Anna is a dedicated facilitator, yoga and Reiki instructor committed to creating accessible, inclusive spaces for healing and growth. With a background in education and a Master’s in Education, she began her journey as a public school teacher, educating students in history, geography, and social justice. Passionate about empowering youth, she used her classroom to foster critical thinking and deeper awareness of systemic inequities. However, through her experiences in the education system, she saw the need for deeper, holistic approaches to personal and collective transformation.
This realization led her to expand her work beyond traditional education. As a program developer for a nonprofit, she designed and implemented social-emotional learning and mindfulness programs for students and educators, helping schools integrate well-being and self-awareness into their curriculum. She also deepened her own practice, traveling to India for immersive yoga teacher training and Vipassana meditation, and becoming a Reiki practitioner.​
"She believes that healing must extend beyond the individual to include care for animals, nature, and all beings, fostering a more compassionate and balanced world."
Anna’s teaching extends to yoga studios, where she works with diverse populations, including older adults seeking improved mobility, confidence, and a shift away from mainstream yoga stereotypes. She integrates trauma-informed and accessible yoga methodologies, ensuring individuals of all backgrounds feel safe and supported in their practice.
​
Beyond human-centered healing, Anna has expanded her Reiki practice to include Animal Reiki, recognizing the deep interconnection between human well-being and the natural world. She believes that healing must extend beyond the individual to include care for animals, nature, and all beings, fostering a more compassionate and balanced world.
​
Her work is rooted in creating safer spaces for healing through love, connection, and empowering individuals to heal, grow, and step into their authentic selves. Anna believes that when people reconnect with themselves and the world around them, they not only transform their own lives but also contribute to the healing and evolution of their communities and the planet.
