- Testimonials“Our start up organization benefited tremendously in working with Anna. She was especially helpful in getting our group, with broad cultural differences, integrated, focused on common objectives, and functioning as a successful team. She truly walks her talk in coaching us toward our desired outcomes.” - Jim C. CEO, NY “Coaching with Anna via telephone changed the course of my life in the midst of a health crisis. I believe the work we did together, both creative and practical, was fuel for healing my body and spirit. As a coach she is enthusiastic, validating, supportive, empathetic, and intelligent. I do not see how anyone can NOT see positive changes in their life with Anna as their life coach.” - Alena D. Social Worker & Yoga Instructor, NY “Through Anna’s coaching style and expertise, she guided me through some life challenges in a way that has provided valuable insight and change in my life. Her loving and embracing demeanor allowed me to fully discover more of who I am and supported me in opening my medical spa.” - Sheri A. Nurse Practitioner, NV “Anna has had a huge impact on my life and sense of well-being. Our group has gradually shifted from one of in-fighting and criticism of one another to a group that, while not always a considerate and understanding as we could be, tends to be much more accepting of otherís idiosyncrasies and much more likely to give one another room to be their own person instead of expecting them to be what we want them to be (i.e., more like ourselves). This is an ongoing project, but we are well on the way and enjoying the changes that have come about during this process. We would not be in this current state without the skillful transformative guidance of Anna.” - Judy L. Real Estate Broker, FL “Working with Anna, being coached by her, is an amazing experience! Annaís inspiration, creativity and expertise allowed me to explore my fullest potential in life. Annaís energy and guidance provided me with new insights and helped me to change my limiting beliefs. As a result, I made remarkable gains in my professional and personal growth. Anna is truly a kind and giving person. Her encouragement, her amazing skills as a coach, and her integrity empowered me to be the best I can be. I will be forever grateful! ” - Alexandra A., Software Development Manager,CA “Throughout my life, I have been mindful of the Golden Rule in the treatment of others. Anna has given me the tools to honor my own essence in the same manner. One cannot be wise without being knowledgeable, decent, strong, and kind. Anna is indeed a wise woman and a master teacher.” - Maureen G. Juris Doctor, AZ “I call Anna when I need an intelligent, experienced colleague to partner with, or a wise, strong coach to illuminate my path. Her grounded wisdom helps me maintain clear focus. Her infectious enthusiasm and natural warmth reconnects me with the best parts of myself.” -Jane C. Management Consultant & Artist, CA “What a find Anna has been for me! Not only is she my life coach, she is my guide and my mentor. She has helped me in all aspects of my life from spiritually to emotionally, physically and beyond. It is so exciting to set goals and actually meet them! I would recommend her to any who want to move forward in their lives.” - Kathleen S.

As a result I am able to really embrace and live my own uniqueness, using my God given gifts. I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with Anna. I like the pro-active aspects of her coaching. She offers a supportive relationship providing direction, tools, and support for creating the life I want. Her compassion and loving wisdom, her focus and delightful humor, make her a great coach.” -Bobby L. Teacher, FL “Anna’s insights and deft questioning were exactly what I needed! Her style is always gracious and kind with an infectious enthusiasm. Her education, skills and history set her head and shoulders above other coaches I’ve worked with.” - Evelyn J.

- About AnnaMy life passion is partnering with individuals and organizations in creating their own unique transformations and living their lives to the absolute fullest. I love supporting my clients in getting clarity about their own present state, defining what it is that they want to create, and then making it happen. In working with my clients, I am able to draw upon my vast professional experiences of over 40 years. Having a private mental health counseling, consulting & training practice for over 24 years in Phoenix, Arizona, I was invited by individuals and organizations from all areas of life, to be a part of their life journey. Over the years, I have transitioned into an even fuller developed process of Integrative Wellness consulting and coaching. My work has always been about seeing individuals and organizations with life challenges and possibilities; looking for what is ërightí with them; not with pathologies and what was ëwrongí, moving forward from those perspectives. Educationally I have a BS in Social Work and a MS in Counseling, both from Purdue University. Being a life-long learner, I have continually sought out and added to my knowledge and experience what has made sense to me and what I thought would most benefit my clients from a holistic view. This has included the works of Deepak Chopra, Joan Borysenko, Dr. Andrew Weil, Carolyn Myss, Byron Katie, Dr. Daniel Amen, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Edwards Deming, Jack Canfield, Melody Beattie, Joe Vitale, to name just a few. Since 1980, I have had the privilege of studying and working with Dr. William Glasser, and remain on his senior faculty, teaching Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and Quality Management. In 2006 I completed the year-long NLP Coach Certification program through the NLP and Coaching Institute of California. I am so very grateful to offer the brilliance and transformative experiences of Choice Theory, NLP and the most current Integrative Wellness ‘Best Practices’ approaches as my basis of working together with you. This is my promise to you: I am as interested in you as an individual, or as an organization, as you are. Working together with you truly is my life passion and purpose. We will stay focused in defining and creating the sustainable transformation you desire. Side by side, we will work purposefully, playfully and successfully together.
