hi friends. I’m anna.
I talk with the spirits.
for 23 years, I’ve taught the healing arts – guiding folks in working with the unseen, crafting ceremony, and gathering in circles where we learn and grow together in community.
underneath it all, I help people create their own magical lives – rooted in spirit, flow, kindness, and inner alchemy.
I love this work with all my heart.
if you’re like me – a little fierce, a little goofy, deeply gentle, and endlessly curious about the mystery – you’re in the right place.
like you, I have stories…
where to begin?
wherever you start, you’re warmly invited.
women arrive here:
during threshold moments & big life changes
when sacred dreams begin to stir
to walk with the spirits & kindred women
spirit
everything is alive, and sentient
your helping spirits love you without condition. working together makes life’s big 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 works 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 it arrives, you’re safe to slow down. breathe.
working with the spirits, ceremony, and the power of love helps you through every change life brings…
so you can do what you came here to.
slow down. receive.
meet some of the magic, at your own pace.
enter your email below to receive ‘the sacred initiation,’ a wondrous 30-minute inner journey.
this is a small taste of the work: meet a guide, receive a healing, come home to yourself.
by joining the newsletter list, you’ll receive occasional articles, stories and offerings, and you can unsubscribe any time you like. welcome.

the magical life
step strongly into the magic
ongoing sessions · 6 months
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.
call down real power to reconstruct your life. exquisite transformation.
returning students & clients
hi loves. these days, most of my work happens in ongoing containers like the session series or ‘the magical life.’
that said, if you’re looking for a quick tune up, I offer returning sessions: sweet, focused, and perfect for a once-monthly rhythm.
please note: returning sessions work best for a specific focus. if things are complex or layered, a three-session arc will serve you better. see you soon, pumpkins!
