Anne began practicing yoga twenty years ago to help with chronic back pain. She found that yoga helped tremendously, and through yoga she was also able to eliminate many unhealthy habits that she had struggled with for years. This inspired her to learn more and she attended a one month intensive yoga teacher training with Ana Forrest. She then began teaching classes in the Evanston and Chicago area, and completed massage therapy school. Several years later she continued her studies at Yoga Point in India where she studied hatha yoga, meditation, yoga nidra and Ayurveda. Soon after she began teaching yoga and practicing massage therapy full time at her first studio in Richmond, Il. Her massage practice specialized in helping clients overcome pain naturally, through deep tissue work as well as cranial sacral therapy. During this time she completed another yoga teacher training through the Himalayan Institute, as well as completing a one year training in Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy. She has also explored other healing modalities, completing an intensive two year training in Shamanic Healing.  Anne continues to teach yoga, and practice bodywork and various healing modalities full time at her studio in Makanda IL. Her style of teaching is eclectic and intuitive, drawing from various yogic traditions, with mindfulness being a priority. Her massage sessions are customized to bring about effective healing for the client. Massage and Healing Sessions are highly effective at relieving pain and tension. 

She is currently midway through an in depth 3 year training in Tibetan Energy/Soul Healing (Tse Dup) and will be excited to share that modality with clients in 2023!
