Guest Bio:

Anna has a background in nursing, yoga, and Ayurveda which has given her a grounded and broad perspective on health and lifestyle. She had the courage to step out of her experience of overwhelm, lethargy, brain fog, and digestive issues.  But, as she says, she couldn’t have done it alone, she consistently engages in supportive communities with peers and mentors who empower her.

Nursing has always brought Anna a lot of joy. There’s a lot of bonding through a shared understanding of the rewards and demands of the vocation. She considers it to have huge professional growth and an emotional journey that knows no bounds!

Nowadays, she works as a health coach and is a leader in Yoga Health Coaching.
