Patient’s Testimony

When I began these weekly sessions with Anna, I was stressed, burnt out, and anxious. My husband is only home every other month, I have 2 very young girls and a stressful career of my own. I feel that these sessions came at the time I needed them most and gave me a blessing I didn’t even know I needed. I had just accepted that my life would be one of anxiety and lack of joy. I knew this was unfair to my kids, but I didn’t know how to fix it. These sessions with Anna opened a door to a new way of thinking and brought a bright new perspective when I couldn’t do that for myself.

What I liked best about the weekly sessions with Anna was the positive learning of a new mindset. I had heard of meditation but didn’t know how to start on my own. After the first 2 sessions, I felt confidence and the knowledge that meditation had a positive impact on my wellbeing. I felt the increase in patience with daily chaos and began exploring other meditation programs. I found a series on Netflix that I set as a goal with Anna to watch and broaden my learning. This gave me a deeper insight into our sessions.

I also began a gratitude journal toward the end of our sessions and found that increased my positive thoughts. I found ways of relieving anxiety, managing daily stressors, and finding joyful connections through these exercises.  The weekly sessions have ended, but the tools they provided have continued to develop as I need them.

I would recommend this type of coaching to anyone who has an open mind to alternative therapy. I feel this is more valuable and constructive than “medicating” a problem. This type of therapy is much more about healing than just fixing, and that was what I needed.
