Helping Women Rewrite their Story and Step into Self-leadership

I know what it feels like to drift through life, searching for meaning, clarity, and direction. In my 20s, before my Saturn Return, I felt lost—uncertain of my purpose, disconnected from my inner wisdom, and unsure of where I was heading. Something deep within me was calling, whispering, but I didn’t yet know how to listen. Instead, I moved through life feeling unanchored, repeating patterns that didn’t serve me.

It wasn’t until a series of challenges in my late 20s that I was pushed toward a turning point. Without role models to guide me, I had to learn how to trust myself, take back my power, and step into self-leadership. This journey led me to discover the transformative power of inner wisdom, embodiment practices, and astrology—and ultimately, to my mission today.

My Mission

I am here to guide you through your own transformation—helping you reclaim your personal power, deepen your self-awareness, and navigate your Saturn Return (or any life transition) with clarity and confidence.

You don’t need to spend years feeling stuck or lost. While personal growth is a journey that cannot be rushed, having the right guidance and tools can make it clearer, smoother, and deeply empowering.

My Approach

I blend traditional counselling techniques with the profound insights of hypnotherapy, embodiment practices, and astrology to help you:

  • Understand your unique path—why you're here and what’s unfolding for you

  • Navigate your Saturn Return & life transitions with intention

  • Heal past wounds & shift limiting patterns that keep you stuck

  • Step into self-leadership & personal power with peaceful confidence

I don’t believe you are broken or need fixing—you already hold the wisdom and strength within you. My role is to help you access it, trust it, and use it to create the life you truly desire.

If you're ready to step into your power and rewrite your story, I’m here to guide you. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.

Are you ready?

At our core, we all yearn for the courage to pursue our dreams and revel in the confidence to navigate life's challenges with strength and freedom. Deep within, we crave the warmth of love and authentic connections, a place where we belong and are valued. We long for a life filled with purpose and a clear sense of direction, and we aspire to experience every moment with unbridled joy, free from the constraints of societal norms. Above all, we aim to thrive, not just survive, embracing our true selves and unlocking our full potential.

What my clients have said about the process of working with me:

Asia

"Anna is very passionate about supporting others in a very holistic and calming way towards their goal. I was fortunate enough to experience her guided hypnotherapy sessions using metaphors and visualisations. I have to say I have never experienced such deep relaxation trough doing breath, meditation before. I am new to hypnotherapy and I found it very powerful. It was a mixture of carefully doing assessment and finding out things I would like work on. Whether you have something specific you would like to tackle or simply looking to learn how to be more present, raising self-awareness hypnotherapy could be your answer."

Angela

"I had my first astrology reading by Anna today (April 21st, 2023). I had one of those done before by an internet site and never got to read it thoroughly as they are quite long and boring. The video call with Anna was 2 hours long and never felt bored or overwhelmed (on the contrary, I loved Anna's knowledge and how she was explaining things to me!). The whole experience was interesting, revealing and also therapeutic as the reading showed a lot about my personality, events that have happened in the past and also events that are happening at the moment (she used these to suggest ways in which I can heal certain aspects of my life). 

I can't recommend her enough!"

Nik

"I really enjoyed my session with Anna and was very grateful for the amount of depth she went into for almost 2 hours. As well as providing me with lots of valuable insights into my personality, she was extremely patient at listening to my input and asking some challenging and interesting questions. This left me reflecting on a number of ideas and how to implement them into my life moving forward. I would thoroughly recommend working with Anna as you will not be disappointed."

​

I am passionate about exploring the connection between past experiences, life meaning, and resilience. I believe resilience is a skill that can be nurtured—one that enhances well-being, happiness, and personal fulfillment.

​

My study of astrology has been enriched through the Mayo School of Astrology, as well as insights from Lynn Bell (psychological astrology) and Steven Forrest (evolutionary astrology). This journey is ever-evolving, and I’m excited to explore its depths alongside you.

​

True transformation begins with the body-mind connection. Our emotions, past experiences, and subconscious beliefs are often stored in the body, influencing how we move through life. Through embodiment practices, I help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, process stored emotions, and release limiting patterns that may be holding you back.

By working with the nervous system, breath, movement, and somatic awareness, we can create lasting change from within—shifting from survival patterns to a state of clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

​

Much of what shapes our lives stems from deep-seated beliefs formed in early experiences. Many of these are unconscious, yet they impact our self-worth, relationships, and ability to step into self-leadership. Through a combination of:

  • Hypnotherapy & guided visualization

  • Consciousness Coaching

  • REBT

  • IFS

  • Astrology & archetypal wisdom

I guide you in identifying and shifting these beliefs, so you can rewrite your inner narrative and step into your full potential.
