Testimonials
“Working with Anne has been the gift I did not know I needed. Her gentle instructions and exercises have allowed deep exploration in to false beliefs and expectations that were unconsciously sitting below the surface. Uncovering these have allowed me to take inventory of the unconscious patters and rewrite my own story…..Here I was feeling ‘educated’ on the ins and outs of birth, but not connected to myself and my future children. Anne showed me how to create those connections and best support myself. I am no longer scared of the pain and no longer full of fear. Thank you Anne for this opportunity, I am forever grateful and full of appreciation. “ Gemma.
“It was amazing to meet you. What we discussed before I had my baby really, really helped with empowering me and being strong with my choices. When I met you I was floundering and feeling really lost, you really helped turning that around, thank you!” Lauren
“Anne has been an amazing highlight of my month, while hubby is away and I'm home alone with 3yr old and 11 week old. She tidies and cooks great wholesome food and gives me a shoulder to cry on if I need it. I also wash my hair while she wears my bub :) She has so many skills up her sleeve and I highly recommend her!” Alix
"I feel very lucky to have had Anne as my yoga teacher through my pregnancy. I had done yoga off and on before becoming pregnant but this felt very different, my body was changing and I felt unsure about how to move or what was ok. Anne created such a reassuring and safe space, a quiet place to feel into my new body, to connect with what was growing inside and to collect my thoughts or often strong emotions. Thank you for supporting me into this new chapter in my life!" Rebecca.
"Anne is an amazing yoga instructor, I joined Anne's prenatal classes when I was pregnant with my first child and felt a great sense of connection and grounding when I was there. Always approachable and engaging, Anne's classes were the highlight of my week." Erin
“That was glorious!! I smiled on the inside the entire practice. Much gratitude” Restorative Yoga attendee
Anne is a heart centred practitioner who has worked across a range of modalities related to supporting people to thrive.
Passionate about supporting you to honour yourself and show up authentically regardless of which life stage you are at, she brings a gentle grounded energy to her work.
Anne offers holistic counselling and psychotherapy inspired by the Hakomi method, Relationship Therapy drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy and Heartworks Lomi Lomi Massage. She’s also a yoga teacher with a focus on finding inner flow and embodied rest. The common thread to all of her work is non-judgement and loving presence.
Her journey in to the realm of supporting people started in earnest as she prepared to birth her first child and has expanded with, and been informed by, her own experience as a women journeying through motherhood, and grappling with her own sense of identity beyond that of ‘Mother’ and ‘Wife’.
During that time Anne lived and worked in 3 different countries, navigated the resultant shifts in culture and community support (or lack thereof), and has dived deeply in to what it means to belong.
“I’m honoured to be able to support people as they work through lifes’ inevitable challenges and transitions. Its a gift to be able to sit in curiosity with someone and help them explore how their learnt ways of being can both support them and, sometimes, can provide a barrier to them living the life they wish for themselves.”
