After a 40-year journey, Annie has finally broken free from the prison of pain—for herself and those she works with. Until recently, Annie’s entire adult life was a constant struggle with chronic physical and emotional pain. She tried many modalities to address these issues including Rolfing and deep-tissue massage, chiropractic work, and traditional counseling. Eventually, she found her way to nontraditional approaches, including working with shamans using various psychoactive medicines. Each approach benefitted her in some way, but none of them addressed the core of her issues. After much inquiry, Annie learned that pain in the body is due partly to structural imbalances, but is primarily rooted in suppressed emotional pain. Annie’s therapeutic expertise addresses structural and emotional issues, infusing more resilience and well-being into your life.
