Hello beautiful soul,

I am Anna.

I am a guide, educator and holistic practitioner helping you to move from a place of discomfort and disconnection to a place of wholeness, self-trust and power so that you can show up in the world fully and authentically.

My own journey of connection with my body has been a long one and involved trying out various things that supported me in understanding myself better. For a long time, I felt out of place, disconnected from my body and not able to understand my own emotions. My body's responses were often related to not feeling safe enough with who I was. I felt tension and contraction in my body - probably originating from a lot of self-judgement as well as a feeling of inaccuracy. I often questioned myself. For a long time, that made my relationship with myself very critical and affected my relationship with others and my decision making. There was a lot of frustration, anxiety and worry until I realised that the answers to my problems lie within me. It was not about changing who I was , it was about diving deeper to understand the depths of my essence, to develop more trust in my uniqueness, to find more self-compassion and appreciation for myself. Over the years I studied and practiced holistic approaches such as art therapy, journalling, yoga, embodied practices as well as studying trauma approaches. The power of mind-body connection is huge and my realisation has been that by learning to look within, we can heal our wounds and affect our inner world and also the outer world. It's an inside out job. Always. The body has a story to tell us. If we listen, we will bring our body to ease and can tune in with its needs to provide nourishment, comfort and a loving space that is conducive to thriving and growth.

My vision is a peaceful world full of individuals who cultivate authentic and compassionate relationships with themselves and others, feeling supported by one another and with a sense of wholeness from within, feeling at home in their body and trusting its wisdom.

I am excited to be here to share with you what might support you on your unique journey.

“Everything you need to know is within you. Listen. Feel. Trust the body’s wisdom.”
— Dan Millman

I don't have much time. How much time will be required in between our sessions?

This work depends on you and on how committed you are to yourself.

This is your journey and it is totally up to you how much time you want to invest in yourself.

When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in your inner work, you will definitely notice changes in how you feel about yourself and as a result how you show up and view the world around you. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.

What if EFT? I have never heard about it before.

EFT refers to Emotional Freedom Techniques and it is a body & mind method of releasing emotions, stress, limiting beliefs, and trauma that have been trapped in the body. It is also known as tapping. It combines modern psychological knowledge and neurology with eastern wisdom about the energy of the body and knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points. When tapping we stimulate energy points while focusing on the stressful event, emotion, or painful memory we want to resolve. This then reduces/turns off the fight or flight or freeze signal from the brain caused by stress and restores the flow of energy. The whole process of using EFT correctly enhances self-awareness and brings issues from the subconscious mind to the conscious level. This helps you to understand yourself better, and give yourself more empathy, love, and acceptance. You may look at the difficult memory from a different angle you haven’t seen before, and that memory stops being painful.
Can I join if I am pregnant?

Yes - you can attend if you are 12 weeks or more. If you are pregnant, please let us know in advance. The EFT practices are suitable during pregnancy and the yoga practice will offer variations for pregnancy if required. The Ayurvedic meal will be very balanced but if you prefer to have your own food, you can bring it with you.
What if I have food allergies/intolerances?

You can let us know about your food allergies and we will try to have something that will suit your needs.
What if I can't sing?

No problem! We are all there together to expand our hearts. Singing is one of the ways to really connect with our heart space. Anna and Justyna will guide some of the singing which will be simple and available to all. All are welcome to join regardless of your singing experience or ability. Essentially it is about connecting with your voice and your heart and not about performing a song.
What is the Sanctuary? I have never been there before?

The Sanctuary is a meditation centre located between Smithfield and Stoneybatter. It's a non-profit organisation that hosts regular classes and courses related to mindfulness, yoga and conscious living.

Ayurvedic lunch? What it it? What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the traditional holistic healing system from India that views each person as an individual, with a unique mind-body constitution and set of life circumstances. It is known as the oldest medical system and current science proves what Ayurveda said 5000 years ago eg. about gut & brain connection or the importance of the circadian rhythm to maintain vitality and longevity. The aim of Ayurveda is to treat the root cause of the illness by balancing our 3 doshas back to a natural state for optimum well-being. According to Ayurveda, our bodies are controlled by three bio-energetic forces called dosha which are made of a combination of 5 elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. The doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha run all the body functions, and when in balance they maintain life. However, when one or more doshas are out of balance due to stress and the wrong diet, lifestyle, emotional blockages, or challenging life circumstances, it leads to various health conditions. Ayurveda guides us through all aspects of life and the easiest way to start exploring this timeless wisdom is in your kitchen. Cooking and eating Ayurvedically is a very intuitive and joyful process. It's a way to practise self-care, self- love and mindfulness by recognizing your individual needs rather than following a general list of healthy foods. Ayurvedic cooking involves preparing the food following certain principles like 6 tastes, fresh & seasonal food, compatibility and incompatibility of certain food and lifestyle practices around eating. The aim is to prepare a meal that is nourishing, easy to digest and satisfying for body & mind. During the retreat you will be served a simple, vegetarian and nourishing meal that follows Ayurvedic principles, is freshly prepared and consists of mainly seasonal food. You will be provided with some spices and herbal teas that aid digestion making this meal enjoyable to everyone. Please let us know about any food allergies or sensitivities.
Can I attend if I have never done yoga before?

Yes, absolutely! Our yoga practice will focus on opening the heart and is designed for all levels. Whether you have never done yoga before or are a regular practitioner, you will be able to benefit and enjoy the practice. For any practice that might be challenging or new to you, variations and/or detailed explanation will be given to support all participants.
What if I cannot attend the full day? Can I still join?

We feel that it is best if the participants attend the full day. If you would like to attend but need to leave a little bit early, that is OK - just let us know in advance. The price for the one day retreat does not change if you need to leave early.

When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in your inner work, you will definitely notice changes in how you feel about yourself and as a result how you show up and view the world around you. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.

What if EFT? I have never heard about it before.

EFT refers to Emotional Freedom Techniques and it is a body & mind method of releasing emotions, stress, limiting beliefs, and trauma that have been trapped in the body. It is also known as tapping. It combines modern psychological knowledge and neurology with eastern wisdom about the energy of the body and knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points. When tapping we stimulate energy points while focusing on the stressful event, emotion, or painful memory we want to resolve. This then reduces/turns off the fight or flight or freeze signal from the brain caused by stress and restores the flow of energy. The whole process of using EFT correctly enhances self-awareness and brings issues from the subconscious mind to the conscious level. This helps you to understand yourself better, and give yourself more empathy, love, and acceptance. You may look at the difficult memory from a different angle you haven’t seen before, and that memory stops being painful.
Can I join if I am pregnant?

Yes - you can attend if you are 12 weeks or more. If you are pregnant, please let us know in advance. The EFT practices are suitable during pregnancy and the yoga practice will offer variations for pregnancy if required. The Ayurvedic meal will be very balanced but if you prefer to have your own food, you can bring it with you.
What if I have food allergies/intolerances?

You can let us know about your food allergies and we will try to have something that will suit your needs.
What if I can't sing?

No problem! We are all there together to expand our hearts. Singing is one of the ways to really connect with our heart space. Anna and Justyna will guide some of the singing which will be simple and available to all. All are welcome to join regardless of your singing experience or ability. Essentially it is about connecting with your voice and your heart and not about performing a song.

Ayurvedic lunch? What it it? What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the traditional holistic healing system from India that views each person as an individual, with a unique mind-body constitution and set of life circumstances. It is known as the oldest medical system and current science proves what Ayurveda said 5000 years ago eg. about gut & brain connection or the importance of the circadian rhythm to maintain vitality and longevity. The aim of Ayurveda is to treat the root cause of the illness by balancing our 3 doshas back to a natural state for optimum well-being. According to Ayurveda, our bodies are controlled by three bio-energetic forces called dosha which are made of a combination of 5 elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. The doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha run all the body functions, and when in balance they maintain life. However, when one or more doshas are out of balance due to stress and the wrong diet, lifestyle, emotional blockages, or challenging life circumstances, it leads to various health conditions. Ayurveda guides us through all aspects of life and the easiest way to start exploring this timeless wisdom is in your kitchen. Cooking and eating Ayurvedically is a very intuitive and joyful process. It's a way to practise self-care, self- love and mindfulness by recognizing your individual needs rather than following a general list of healthy foods. Ayurvedic cooking involves preparing the food following certain principles like 6 tastes, fresh & seasonal food, compatibility and incompatibility of certain food and lifestyle practices around eating. The aim is to prepare a meal that is nourishing, easy to digest and satisfying for body & mind. During the retreat you will be served a simple, vegetarian and nourishing meal that follows Ayurvedic principles, is freshly prepared and consists of mainly seasonal food. You will be provided with some spices and herbal teas that aid digestion making this meal enjoyable to everyone. Please let us know about any food allergies or sensitivities.
Can I attend if I have never done yoga before?

Yes, absolutely! Our yoga practice will focus on opening the heart and is designed for all levels. Whether you have never done yoga before or are a regular practitioner, you will be able to benefit and enjoy the practice. For any practice that might be challenging or new to you, variations and/or detailed explanation will be given to support all participants.
What if I cannot attend the full day? Can I still join?

We feel that it is best if the participants attend the full day. If you would like to attend but need to leave a little bit early, that is OK - just let us know in advance. The price for the one day retreat does not change if you need to leave early.

What if EFT? I have never heard about it before.

EFT refers to Emotional Freedom Techniques and it is a body & mind method of releasing emotions, stress, limiting beliefs, and trauma that have been trapped in the body. It is also known as tapping. It combines modern psychological knowledge and neurology with eastern wisdom about the energy of the body and knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points. When tapping we stimulate energy points while focusing on the stressful event, emotion, or painful memory we want to resolve. This then reduces/turns off the fight or flight or freeze signal from the brain caused by stress and restores the flow of energy. The whole process of using EFT correctly enhances self-awareness and brings issues from the subconscious mind to the conscious level. This helps you to understand yourself better, and give yourself more empathy, love, and acceptance. You may look at the difficult memory from a different angle you haven’t seen before, and that memory stops being painful.
Can I join if I am pregnant?

Yes - you can attend if you are 12 weeks or more. If you are pregnant, please let us know in advance. The EFT practices are suitable during pregnancy and the yoga practice will offer variations for pregnancy if required. The Ayurvedic meal will be very balanced but if you prefer to have your own food, you can bring it with you.
What if I have food allergies/intolerances?

You can let us know about your food allergies and we will try to have something that will suit your needs.
What if I can't sing?

No problem! We are all there together to expand our hearts. Singing is one of the ways to really connect with our heart space. Anna and Justyna will guide some of the singing which will be simple and available to all. All are welcome to join regardless of your singing experience or ability. Essentially it is about connecting with your voice and your heart and not about performing a song.

Ayurvedic lunch? What it it? What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the traditional holistic healing system from India that views each person as an individual, with a unique mind-body constitution and set of life circumstances. It is known as the oldest medical system and current science proves what Ayurveda said 5000 years ago eg. about gut & brain connection or the importance of the circadian rhythm to maintain vitality and longevity. The aim of Ayurveda is to treat the root cause of the illness by balancing our 3 doshas back to a natural state for optimum well-being. According to Ayurveda, our bodies are controlled by three bio-energetic forces called dosha which are made of a combination of 5 elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. The doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha run all the body functions, and when in balance they maintain life. However, when one or more doshas are out of balance due to stress and the wrong diet, lifestyle, emotional blockages, or challenging life circumstances, it leads to various health conditions. Ayurveda guides us through all aspects of life and the easiest way to start exploring this timeless wisdom is in your kitchen. Cooking and eating Ayurvedically is a very intuitive and joyful process. It's a way to practise self-care, self- love and mindfulness by recognizing your individual needs rather than following a general list of healthy foods. Ayurvedic cooking involves preparing the food following certain principles like 6 tastes, fresh & seasonal food, compatibility and incompatibility of certain food and lifestyle practices around eating. The aim is to prepare a meal that is nourishing, easy to digest and satisfying for body & mind. During the retreat you will be served a simple, vegetarian and nourishing meal that follows Ayurvedic principles, is freshly prepared and consists of mainly seasonal food. You will be provided with some spices and herbal teas that aid digestion making this meal enjoyable to everyone. Please let us know about any food allergies or sensitivities.
Can I attend if I have never done yoga before?

Yes, absolutely! Our yoga practice will focus on opening the heart and is designed for all levels. Whether you have never done yoga before or are a regular practitioner, you will be able to benefit and enjoy the practice. For any practice that might be challenging or new to you, variations and/or detailed explanation will be given to support all participants.
What if I cannot attend the full day? Can I still join?

We feel that it is best if the participants attend the full day. If you would like to attend but need to leave a little bit early, that is OK - just let us know in advance. The price for the one day retreat does not change if you need to leave early.

How do I know if I should commit to 3 or 6 month of coaching program?

Depending on your needs and your goals, you might benefit from 3 or 6 month coaching program. Before you commit, we will have a call to discuss your needs and where you are at. This call will help us establish which program duration will work for you best. You can schedule an enquiry call with me to discuss your needs here.

This program takes place Online via Zoom. All of the online sessions are set up in a way to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can show up as you are.

This work depends on you and on how committed you are to yourself. Apart from our weekly sessions, I would recommend setting aside at least 30 minutes per day to yourself, to have space to cultivate presence within which is where this work begins.

This is your journey and it is totally up to you how much time you want to invest in yourself.

Occasionally, I will offer live yoga classes, meditations which you will be welcome to join.
When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in your inner work, you will definitely notice changes in how you feel about yourself and as a result how you show up and view the world around you. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.

Yes! If you feel that you would like to continue with the sessions, you can book a single session or a package of 2 or 4 sessions. We can discuss this when your program is nearing the end.
I don't have much time. How much time will be required in between our sessions?

This work depends on you and on how committed you are to yourself. Apart from our weekly sessions, I would recommend setting aside at least 30 minutes per day to yourself, to have space to cultivate presence within which is where this work begins. There might be weeks where you will spend more time on additional exercises, resources in order to support your journey to wholeness. This is your journey and it is totally up to you how much time you want to invest in yourself. There will also be an option to join a monthly gathering, which will be 75minutes long , with other women. This is a space to find inspiration and support each other. Occasionally, I will offer live yoga classes, meditations which you will be welcome to join.
When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in your inner work, you will definitely notice changes in how you feel about yourself and as a result how you show up and view the world around you. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.

Body Alchemy is for any woman who feels curious about her cycle or her nervous system and wants to learn more about herself through new tools.

What if EFT? I have never heard about it before.

EFT refers to Emotional Freedom Techniques and it is a body & mind method of releasing emotions, stress, limiting beliefs, and trauma that have been trapped in the body. It is also known as tapping. It combines modern psychological knowledge and neurology with eastern wisdom about the energy of the body and knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points. When tapping we stimulate energy points while focusing on the stressful event, emotion, or painful memory we want to resolve. This then reduces/turns off the fight or flight or freeze signal from the brain caused by stress and restores the flow of energy. The whole process of using EFT correctly enhances self-awareness and brings issues from the subconscious mind to the conscious level. This helps you to understand yourself better, and give yourself more empathy, love, and acceptance. You may look at the difficult memory from a different angle you haven’t seen before, and that memory stops being painful.
Can I join if I am pregnant?

Yes - you can attend if you are 12 weeks or more. If you are pregnant, please let us know in advance. The EFT practices are suitable during pregnancy and the yoga practice will offer variations for pregnancy if required. The Ayurvedic meal will be very balanced but if you prefer to have your own food, you can bring it with you.
What if I have food allergies/intolerances?

You can let us know about your food allergies and we will try to have something that will suit your needs.
What if I can't sing?

No problem! We are all there together to expand our hearts. Singing is one of the ways to really connect with our heart space. Anna and Justyna will guide some of the singing which will be simple and available to all. All are welcome to join regardless of your singing experience or ability. Essentially it is about connecting with your voice and your heart and not about performing a song.

Ayurvedic lunch? What it it? What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the traditional holistic healing system from India that views each person as an individual, with a unique mind-body constitution and set of life circumstances. It is known as the oldest medical system and current science proves what Ayurveda said 5000 years ago eg. about gut & brain connection or the importance of the circadian rhythm to maintain vitality and longevity. The aim of Ayurveda is to treat the root cause of the illness by balancing our 3 doshas back to a natural state for optimum well-being. According to Ayurveda, our bodies are controlled by three bio-energetic forces called dosha which are made of a combination of 5 elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. The doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha run all the body functions, and when in balance they maintain life. However, when one or more doshas are out of balance due to stress and the wrong diet, lifestyle, emotional blockages, or challenging life circumstances, it leads to various health conditions. Ayurveda guides us through all aspects of life and the easiest way to start exploring this timeless wisdom is in your kitchen. Cooking and eating Ayurvedically is a very intuitive and joyful process. It's a way to practise self-care, self- love and mindfulness by recognizing your individual needs rather than following a general list of healthy foods. Ayurvedic cooking involves preparing the food following certain principles like 6 tastes, fresh & seasonal food, compatibility and incompatibility of certain food and lifestyle practices around eating. The aim is to prepare a meal that is nourishing, easy to digest and satisfying for body & mind. During the retreat you will be served a simple, vegetarian and nourishing meal that follows Ayurvedic principles, is freshly prepared and consists of mainly seasonal food. You will be provided with some spices and herbal teas that aid digestion making this meal enjoyable to everyone. Please let us know about any food allergies or sensitivities.
Can I attend if I have never done yoga before?

Yes, absolutely! Our yoga practice will focus on opening the heart and is designed for all levels. Whether you have never done yoga before or are a regular practitioner, you will be able to benefit and enjoy the practice. For any practice that might be challenging or new to you, variations and/or detailed explanation will be given to support all participants.
What if I cannot attend the full day? Can I still join?

We feel that it is best if the participants attend the full day. If you would like to attend but need to leave a little bit early, that is OK - just let us know in advance. The price for the one day retreat does not change if you need to leave early.

It combines modern psychological knowledge and neurology with eastern wisdom about the energy of the body and knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points. When tapping we stimulate energy points while focusing on the stressful event, emotion, or painful memory we want to resolve. This then reduces/turns off the fight or flight or freeze signal from the brain caused by stress and restores the flow of energy. The whole process of using EFT correctly enhances self-awareness and brings issues from the subconscious mind to the conscious level. This helps you to understand yourself better, and give yourself more empathy, love, and acceptance. You may look at the difficult memory from a different angle you haven’t seen before, and that memory stops being painful.

Ayurvedic lunch? What it it? What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the traditional holistic healing system from India that views each person as an individual, with a unique mind-body constitution and set of life circumstances. It is known as the oldest medical system and current science proves what Ayurveda said 5000 years ago eg. about gut & brain connection or the importance of the circadian rhythm to maintain vitality and longevity. The aim of Ayurveda is to treat the root cause of the illness by balancing our 3 doshas back to a natural state for optimum well-being. According to Ayurveda, our bodies are controlled by three bio-energetic forces called dosha which are made of a combination of 5 elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. The doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha run all the body functions, and when in balance they maintain life. However, when one or more doshas are out of balance due to stress and the wrong diet, lifestyle, emotional blockages, or challenging life circumstances, it leads to various health conditions. Ayurveda guides us through all aspects of life and the easiest way to start exploring this timeless wisdom is in your kitchen. Cooking and eating Ayurvedically is a very intuitive and joyful process. It's a way to practise self-care, self- love and mindfulness by recognizing your individual needs rather than following a general list of healthy foods. Ayurvedic cooking involves preparing the food following certain principles like 6 tastes, fresh & seasonal food, compatibility and incompatibility of certain food and lifestyle practices around eating. The aim is to prepare a meal that is nourishing, easy to digest and satisfying for body & mind. During the retreat you will be served a simple, vegetarian and nourishing meal that follows Ayurvedic principles, is freshly prepared and consists of mainly seasonal food. You will be provided with some spices and herbal teas that aid digestion making this meal enjoyable to everyone. Please let us know about any food allergies or sensitivities.
Can I attend if I have never done yoga before?

Yes, absolutely! Our yoga practice will focus on opening the heart and is designed for all levels. Whether you have never done yoga before or are a regular practitioner, you will be able to benefit and enjoy the practice. For any practice that might be challenging or new to you, variations and/or detailed explanation will be given to support all participants.
What if I cannot attend the full day? Can I still join?

We feel that it is best if the participants attend the full day. If you would like to attend but need to leave a little bit early, that is OK - just let us know in advance. The price for the one day retreat does not change if you need to leave early.

Highly recommend Anna, I have been working together with her through private yoga classes throughout my pregnancy and it has helped my hormonal balance and state of mind immensely. She is a true healer and a really caring person who is in tune to your specific needs. She tailors each class to your mind body sensations which come up in that week so each time is a new experience and a learning journey. Anna thought me how to really listen to my body and tap into what I need which has been life changing. I really look forward to our classes and feel held in the moment and released afterwards so that I can take on lifes' challenges with a peaceful mind and healthy body.
