meet anna
23 years experience teaching healing arts
hi folks! I’m anna. I talk with the spirits.
I’m able to hear the dream seeds you incarnated with – the quiet whispers inviting you to live your own unique version of a magical life.
the sessions & circles we do here are lanterns you carry, on the path back to your own heart. the work is strong and sweet.
if you’re like me, you delight in exploring the mystery, and you’re a unique blend of gentle, goofy, and fierce. like you, I have stories…
live a magical life.
if you're navigating a big change in life or calling in a sacred dream, warm welcome.
this place is a haven for eclectic, brilliant, loving women who walk between the worlds - or long to.
we speak with the spirits, craft ceremony, rest deeply, and do our inner work with humor, grace, and strength.
magic and beauty live here.
spirit
everything is alive, and sentient
working with your helping spirits – who love you without condition – make life’s initiations and changes manageable. living becomes joyful, rich, and sweet.
ceremony
change the shape of creation
set strong intention. perform creative and beautiful acts with positive intent. anchor power, mercy, and grace. ceremony is sacred poetry.
being seen
the most powerful healing
seem simple? it is not. when you feel truly seen, everything inside that’s been working so hard to be known – lets go. the relief that results is profound.
rest & play
tension…dissolves
when you can rest deeply, what’s been covered up with hectic movement gets revealed for healing. when healing arrives, it’s safe to slow down. breathe.
you incarnated with a sacred dream only you can fulfill.
working with the spirits, ceremony, and the power of love
helps you through every challenge and change life brings...
so you can do what you came here to.
slow down. receive.
meet some of the magic, at your own pace.
this channeled half-hour journey – born on a threshold day – carries real power and medicine.
this is a small taste of the work. meet a guide, receive a healing, come home to yourself.
sessions & circles for you
the best way to know if we’re a good fit is to actually connect, yes? warm welcome.
if you’re looking for individual support, an intro session is a perfect way to start.
if you enjoy groups with other magical women, a mini-workshop is a great beginning.

ongoing work · 6 months · $1,500/month
the true work at the heart of the dreaming otter. after a session series, we’ve built trust and can see clearly what no longer fits, what delights you, what longs for a voice.

returning students & clients
hi loved ones! the work I’m doing these days thrives in ongoing containers, like the three-session series or ‘the magical life.’
that said, if you need a quick tune up, we can do a returning session: $500/2 hours. these are sweet and focused, and several folks have been enjoying a once-monthly rhythm.
just a note: a returning session works best for a simple, focused topic. if you’ve got a lot going on or the work is complex, a three-session arc will serve you better. see you soon!

‘the complexity, immensity, and intensity of what we do as healers needs support – places of oasis for those of us who tend and mend. anna is great at creating these spaces, whether she’s training the next generation of healers or holding space for those of us who have been living this work for decades.’
