Hi I’m Anna and an Enneagram 8 - “Lead by example.”
I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage in 2005 then shortly after we moved to Ottawa in 2008 from Vancouver with my children to pursue my husband's work. It was quite the adjustment going from West Coast Life to Ottawa life! Fast forward sixteen years and love this city wholeheartedly and can’t imagine leaving. I value and wish to build deep meaningful connections with others. Privacy is a critical staple to my personal and professional life.
My favourite quote: It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness ~Eleanor Roosevelt
I cultivated and grew my business to where it is today; from knowing nobody to being highly networked. From starting with 12 clients to my clinics seeing >1000 clients per month. As Founder/CEO my main role now is mentoring/empowering my massage therapists and others in the community.

GIVE IT TO ME ADVICE:
What advice do you have for women who want to age naturally:
Trust the process.
If you could tell your younger self one thing that you know would have a BIG impact on the current version of you - what would it be?
You are stronger than think. Trust the gut - that deep seeded inner knowing.
How do you relax your nervous system? Or best nervous system relaxation technique.
I move by body in nature and listening to classical music.
Bucket list vacation that you hope to embark on in the next 5 years (where to, and why?)
I just did it, spent 2 amazing weeks in Italy.
In 25 years how would you like to be remembered MOST? 1 sentence or less.
For my kindness and compassion.
