  • Soothing and spacious

    This podcast carries the feeling of slowing down, stripping away and relaxing into truth. There is no one like Anna to help you experience yourself, life, healing and growth through the lens of your own body rather than a bunch of good ideas. Her conversations are soothing and spacious, calling you back to your own body’s wisdom again and again.
