Anni (She, Her) is a Depth-oriented practitioner in Castlegar, BC, who has worked in the field of human services for over 20 years, and as a resilient survivor of complex-trauma and cancer, Anni is passionate about how humans can experience true aliveness and live a life of purpose and deep meaning not despite challenges but because of these. One area of specialization in Anni's practice is Post-traumatic Growth (PTG), supporting individuals and groups to recover from PTSD and re-discover a life of purpose and meaning.
Balancing her clinical practice with Earth-based teachings, ceremony and ritual, Anni has been blessed for the last 15 years to be learning from Elders, plant medicines and traditional wisdom teachings for wellness thus providing diversity and a holistic matrix to her work. Also vital parts of Anni's life is her deep connection with Earth, her daily meditation, her family which includes her life partner of 25 years and her four legged beloveds (Horses and Dogs).
