‘the dreaming otter’ is a healing practice, where creative, brilliant, eclectic women can work with helping spirits, rest, healing, and play to move through life’s initiations, challenges, and changes.
this work is particularly helpful if you find your identity changing, you’re in an initiation, or feel a sacred dream waking up. working with the spirits, ceremony, and the power of love is wondrous – it feels like coming home.

‘The Sacred Initiation’
when I encounter a new healer, I like to get a sense of their work, and I’m guessing you do, too.
in that spirit, ‘the sacred initiation’ is an unusually beautiful guided inner journey for you. you’ll travel through rich inner landscapes, and meet a spirit teacher who gives you a message and a profoundly restful healing.
you’ll need a full half hour to get cozy and give yourself the experience. I wish you a beautiful, alchemical, strong, marvelous journey.
after 23 years of teaching, I’m writing my first book. (hooray!) join the email list below to learn more.
‘anna dorian is an extraordinary woman who is a truly vibrant and gifted healer and teacher. she creates a very sacred and safe space for her students, as well as keeps her teaching fresh and filled with wisdom, compassion, and humor.
any student or client who finds their way to anna will feel empowered, and be rewarded with a depth of healing and potent transformation.’
‘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.’
‘I have known anna as a colleague in spiritual healing and counseling for about 10 years now. I trust her implicitly – her gifts and abilities, her solid, impressive and extensive experience, her great intuitive sense and insights make her an outstanding, effective healing practitioner and a trustworthy guide.
anna truly carries good, strong medicine that can help anyone – whether they are a seasoned practitioner or a person entering their inner world for the first time.’
‘I have long admired anna’s capacity to be able to gather just the right people together for her circles and shamanic gatherings. with her disarming and unique style of teaching and leading, she immediately guides you to feel that something really special is about to happen.
and then. something really special happens.
she holds sacred circle in a way that is mind blowing: just with her natural charisma and refined intellect guiding us all along with her. people are excited and happy to be in her presence. she is a very special lady: kind, loving and very giving.’
‘anna and I have worked together for 20+ years, and she has been a trusted colleague and friend. being able to relax behind the scenes with another healer gives me a place to validate my own role, and gives me a safe place to continue exploring the mysterious world of healing.
I’m deeply grateful that our next generation of healers, and our current soul group of healers who have been in practice for decades, have such strong support in the dreaming otter.’

‘over the years, I have immersed myself in many dimensions of anna’s work, from multiple styles of reiki, to shamanism, to one-on-one evolutionary sessions. she holds space with deep empathy, while offering support and energetic tools that are accessible, effective, and substantial.
she has profoundly influenced my life path, playing an integral role in my transition from being a young biomedical scientist to pursuing a career in naturopathic medicine. she both radiates light and can show you how to nurture the same light within yourself.’
‘before I met anna, I always found myself seeking something beyond textbooks and training I couldn’t quite identify – more support, more help sitting with people’s experiences, and how to sustain myself in this career.
working with anna connected me to a spiritual part of myself that I was acutely missing.
she helped me find an inner wellspring of knowing that has become the foundation of who I am as a person and healing professional.’
