GODDESS Best investment I ever made. I have no doubt the skills, knowledge and resources I have gained are creating my future that I never dared to believe was possible. I highly recommend this work to everyone who is feeling stuck or seeking more purpose.
Sandra, Photographer, Visual & Oral Story-Teller, New Zealand Personal Transformation.
Goddess - Before working with Anna, I was constantly rushing—juggling work, home, study, and starting a business. I felt pressured to get everything right and wasn’t sure how the Goddess program would meet my needs. However, I trusted Anna, having previously worked with her as my mentor. With her, I had always broken through limiting beliefs and uplevelled my confidence. This time, I wanted to live with more ease and grace.
Throughout the program, I became aware of how disconnected I was from my feminine power. I had been using manifestation as a demand, not as something natural to me as a woman—my own form of magic. I realized I was tightly holding myself in a state of safety that drained my energy, impacting my relationships, communication, and even my finances.
Now, I take full ownership of my capacity to manifest abundance and wealth in all areas of my life. My business is a reflection of my values and higher purpose—to model a business that is both feminine and successful. I have become more respectful of myself and prioritize nurturing self-care rituals. I slow down and give myself permission to be a woman who is at ease and aligned with grace. I am aware of when I rush and pause to evaluate whether it’s necessary. I feel safe within myself, and this has allowed me to explore new avenues for how I choose to engage in business and life. I am stepping up as a woman who leads.
This course is intelligent, creative, and life changing. Every woman can benefit from investing in herself through this program. The inner development process guides you effortlessly toward becoming the woman you truly want to be. Anna is an incredible mentor—gentle, intuitive, highly researched and committed to your growth. You will be amazed at how she teaches you that your best answers for life are within. That's true, feminine power.
Michelle, Business Owner, New Zealand.
GODDESS. Before working with Anna, I often felt that people were taking advantage of my good nature. I felt people didn't listen or I was dismissed. The Goddess program offered a safe and supportive process where I could examine how I viewed and engaged with the world around me.
Through the clear and structured program, I discovered how deeply rooted beliefs had been holding me back from the life I had envisioned since adolescence. While the process was sometimes challenging, it was essential for understanding which beliefs served me as a woman and which no longer did. Such as, I was definitely out-of-balance with how I liked to help others. I learnt that giving had to come from a place of fulfilment and meet my values. I started to understand and practice healthy boundaries. I learnt that it is safe to honor my intuition. With courage and care, I was able to create a new vision and empowering narrative for myself.
I also navigated the passing of my mother during COVID-19 with an open heart, allowing myself to feel everything happening at that time. I asked for what I needed and was able to fully be there for others. Most importantly, I cherished the moments and honored the essence of who my mother was.
Since doing this work with Anna, I handle conflict with greater ease and tact (where I used to panic internally), and both my mind and body feel more relaxed. I have more time to enjoy life’s pleasures, and I am fully, authentically myself. I highly recommend this work to any woman ready to challenge her beliefs, find peace and confidence in herself.
Jacqueline, New Zealand.
Goddess. I was feeling quite confused about my life when I made the decision to work with Anna as my mentor, and it has been life changing. From our very first conversation, I sensed that Anna was someone I could trust and confide in.
I appreciate her intuition and insight; she has a remarkable ability to get to the heart of things. Her mentoring style made me feel supported and nurtured throughout the process.
Anna is also an exceptional listener, a skill that requires a great deal of patience and empathy.
Through this journey, I’ve discovered so much about myself and continue to be amazed by the empowering insights I've gained. I’ve learned to respond rather than react in challenging situations, moved on from a relationship that wasn’t serving me while maintaining a great friendship, and developed a healthier relationship with my body.
Anna’s approach to personal growth is truly unique. It has given me the space to explore my options and the tools to embrace my confidence as a feminine woman. Previously, I worried that I was too feisty and tried to hold back, which wasn’t healthy. Now, I channel that ‘fire’ energy into taking positive steps toward my vision. I no longer feel daunted by the big vision I have for serving the world as an artist.
I am incredibly grateful to have had Anna as my mentor and would highly recommend her. Prepare yourself for an amazing journey of self-discovery—a journey of coming home.
Lyn, World Artist, New Zealand
Goddess. I once told Anna that I didn’t think there was room for me as a coach, feeling like others were far better than me. That was my limiting self-talk. Anna’s response, “There is room for everyone,” struck a chord. With her encouragement, I chose to work with her one-on-one, and I received countless gifts from that experience.
At times, it was challenging to overcome the limiting stories I had told myself as a woman, but Anna’s kindness, generosity, and gentle push when I needed it most made all the difference. During the program, I wrote and published my first book and launched my coaching program. Now, I embrace my true self, love who I am, and am empowered to make a real difference.
I am so grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to any woman who thinks she can’t pursue her dreams. If I can do it, I know you can too.
— Julie, Author, New Zealand.
Goddess. I was referred to Anna by another practitioner I trusted, and I’m so glad I was. Anna has a calm, grounded presence and clear boundaries. This was very new for me. I worked with her for a year to heighten my awareness and make more mindful life choices. It wasn’t always easy, and I definitely had to get vulnerable at times, but discovering my personal story was life changing. It was like a switch flipped, and I realized I am so much more than my past.
When Anna launched the Goddess program, I was all in. For the first time, I felt free to become a strong, imaginative woman with my own voice and opinions. Now, I’ve built firm boundaries around what behavior is acceptable—from others and from myself. I laugh more, I wear clothes that make me feel like a powerful woman, and I’m not apologizing for it. My values and worth are real for me now, and I know it’s my job to keep them alive in me every single day. To anyone considering working with Anna: Do it. You deserve to take charge of your life and live on your terms.
Anna, New Zealand
Mentoring 1-1 Being mentored 1-1 with Anna has truly been one of the most incredibly transformational experiences in my life. There is a never -ending list of positive impacts this work, and Anna has had on my attitude, mental health, career and personal life. This program has been instrumental to the success of projects I have delivered, goals achieved and the career growth I have experienced. I've gained clarity, confidence and unshakable love for the woman I am and for the work I do. In addition, getting clear of my personal narrative (my story), has enabled me to listen to my heart and true desires and have a deeply nourishing relationship with myself.
I highly recommend this program for everyone who is prepared to be challenged and serious about doing your inner work. The benefits will be loving and life changing.
Amanda, Entrepreneur, Australia
Mentoring 1-1. I chose to work with Anna one-on-one after witnessing the transformation in a colleague’s confidence and attitude. She had this glow of calmness and certainty and was making bold plans in her personal life. At the time, I was facing a life-changing health diagnosis and unsure of how to move forward, especially as an athlete, a passion I felt had been taken from me. I had lost my sense of certainty about where my life and felt fearful of the future.
From our first conversation, I knew Anna’s mentorship would not only support my personal growth but also help me with my career. Through her gentle guidance, I became aware of how much I dismissed my own needs, pushed myself too hard, and let others dictate my life choices. I reconnected with my true self, learned to confidently voice my ideas, and started making decisions based on my own values.
This journey has not been easy, but it has been transformative. My health is improving, and I’m back to training as an athlete, feeling mindful and grateful for what my body can do. I’m no longer driven by fear, but by a deep sense of purpose and self-love. I’m very considerate of what I need to feel successful and valued as I move through my career path. If you’re ready for real change, I highly recommend working with Anna. She is caring, insightful, and will guide you through a journey of self-discovery that will truly exceed your expectations. I am so grateful to Anna for championing me on this journey.
Emily, Australia
Mentoring 1-1. I had been searching for someone experienced and strong to work with, as I’m a coach myself. Anna came highly recommended, and after our initial meeting, I felt this could be a great fit. I had just come through a very challenging period and was feeling exhausted, sensitive, and highly reactive. Although I had enough awareness to recognize that my life wasn’t flowing and my inner compass wasn’t aligned with my true north, I knew I needed help to get back on track.
Working with Anna provided me with a clear structure to assess where I was and what needed to change. Discovering my unique story and how I viewed myself was the key. It gave me insight into why my life wasn’t working and a mindful path for making changes, along with practical steps to maintain that alignment. I feel incredibly blessed to have had Anna by my side. She’s a fantastic coach who challenged me to think from different angles, helping me process my insights and expand my awareness.
Now, I have a deliberate focus and a much clearer understanding of what drives me. I approach life more gently and, most importantly, have a newfound respect for myself.
Kath, Trainer and Coach New Zealand
Mentoring 1-1. I was gifted two mentoring sessions with Anna. During those sessions, we explored my life, what was working and what wasn’t. I knew I was struggling in confidence and speaking up. I didn’t want to offend others. This was affecting my personal and professional relationships. The introduction sessions with Anna immediately addressed these challenges, which was a relief. I decided to work with Anna one-on-one for a full year. I needed to make that commitment for myself. During the program, I learned that I had been making decisions based on what others wanted, even when I didn’t agree. As a result, I was often out of alignment with my integrity, which impacted my self-confidence, decision making and spirit.
I now have clarity of my values and new-found confidence in myself. I follow what I know is right for me and my vision for living life. Putting myself first, regardless of what others expect, has been transformative. I’ve realized I don’t need to make people happy to be loved. This realization has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders—it's freedom. Now, I make decisions based on my truth. I can finally be myself, and that in itself is priceless.
Kym, Manager, Australia
Mentoring 1-1. Anna has an amazing gift of pinpointing exactly where you are in your 'limiting story'. For me, my journey with Anna has been to maintain my awareness of when I am 'in my limiting story' and what part I am playing in any situation I find myself in. She is truly supportive, kind, and compassionate in helping you to understand the things that are stopping you from moving forwards in life. The transformation that takes place whilst working with Anna is astounding and I am definitely not be the same person. I am a consciously aware woman of substance. Thank you, Anna.
Karen, Shamanic Soul Educator, Australia
Mentoring 1-1 Before working with Anna for 12-months, I was stuck. I had come through a separation after 25 years of marriage. I was blind swiped by the separation. I felt I was about to lose the family I had been with 25 years, I wouldn’t survive financially and never find another partner. My self-worth was zero.
I didn’t know how to change and how I could possibly get what I wanted. Working with Anna has given me the confidence to explore myself, how and why I got to this point of separation. It allowed me to set myself free from the past. With this understanding, I could move in a direction that was more the me now, being purposeful and adopting values into my life that represented what I believed. I am forever grateful for Anna’s acknowledgment of my fragility and her mentorship.
Sara, Teacher, Australia Personal Growth
Mentoring 1-1 I was just talking to a friend tonight about the 12-month mentorship with Anna, and how it was the best program I’ve ever done. Anna is incredible—she just "gets" you and is also warm and nurturing to work with. I now have a stronger sense of my value as a woman, clear boundaries around acceptable behaviours, and the confidence to follow my passions. The tools I gained from working with Anna have up levelled my life in a way I couldn’t have achieved on my own.
Zoe, Creative, Australia.
Mentoring 1-1. I had no idea how deeply one-on-one mentorship would impact my life. Before working with Anna, I was aware of how the stressors of daily life drained my inner joy and peace, and I didn’t want to pretend everything was fine or that those stressors didn’t exist.
The process wasn’t always easy and could be confronting at times, so having Anna mentor me was an important factor in my allowing change. She has an incredible understanding of people and is never in a rush, guiding you through the program with patience and a deep trust in the process. Anna believes in you until you can believe and trust in yourself.
Since starting this journey, I’ve become better at responding to challenges and handling stress. I now have a deeper understanding of myself—my needs, values, and fears—and can recognize my emotions, allowing me to choose my responses instead of just reacting.
I see my life through new eyes now. I feel empowered and believe I can make a difference in my world and in the lives of others. I have been reinvigorated to return to and complete my master's in psychology. I highly recommend this awareness work, especially with Anna, to anyone seeking personal growth, deeper self-awareness, and a journey toward realizing their intrinsic value and potential to change the world simply by being themselves.
Pia, Business Owner. Australia.
Mentoring 1-1 Before working with Anna, I struggled to balance my busy professional life and family commitments. Miscommunication was a big concern, and I worried that if things didn’t change, I would damage the relationships I cherished most. The signs were already there, and I felt powerless to change.
Anna’s compassionate guidance, combined with the year-long mentorship, gave me a whole new level of self-awareness. The framework helped me recognize what was working and where I needed to focus my attention to make meaningful changes, while creating empowering choices for the better. Since doing this work, I’ve gained more clarity and ease in communication, which has improved how I spend time in my personal relationships. I now have a greater understanding of my needs and can express them clearly. In my professional life, I’m more mindful of how I interact, and I have the tools to restore balance when life gets busy.
Anna is an incredible, fearless, caring, and dynamic mentor. She didn’t let me gloss over the tough parts, which turned out to be the most transformative. I’m so grateful for this experience—it has truly changed my life for the better.
Tania, National Health Manager, Australia.
Mentoring 1-1. Before working with Anna, I was carrying a lot of emotional stress while navigating a major transition in my professional life, including activating a succession plan. I decided to work with Anna one-on-one for 12 months to support me through this critical phase.
Through our work together, I was able to quiet my mind and uncover my own best answers for moving forward. This clarity allowed me to restructure my business and focus on new projects. I just needed the encouragement to tap into my brave heart and trust my process—first for myself, then for taking action.
Anna is a compassionate visionary. She holds space for you with such care, guiding you to rediscover who you are and where you’re headed. Her ability to offer compassion, permission, and support without judgment is a rare gift. Anna is truly a 'rare find,' and her mentorship has been life-changing for me.
If you are facing a major transition, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She will help you find the courage to take the necessary steps for you in the future you desire.
— Eleanor, International Thought Leader, Australia
Mentoring 1-1. I decided to work with Anna as I had developed a way of thinking, in particular in stressful situations which were not serving me. In fact, I was disempowered and blocked from performing at my full potential, both in my personal life and in my professional life which I saw as two different things. At times the enhances awareness work was challenging especially unfolding the elements of my story. Anna is very compassionate and supportive.
Now I am living a much happier, very real version of myself and pursuing endeavors that are very different from where I was heading before I participated in this work with Anna. I see the same people and engage in the same situations through a very different lens and miracles are indeed unfolding in my life.
I would say to someone considering this work with Anna to do it! You will never be the same again. You will see so many more opportunities for yourself personally and professionally. You will experience so much more laughter, beauty and love in places you have already looked in and places you are yet to explore.
Heidi, Entrepreneur, New Zealand.
Mentoring 1-1 I had reached a point in my life where I could no longer live with anxiety, worry, and destructive behaviours. Working with Anna as my mentor was a true blessing. The program was healing without having to revisit past traumas, and the material was perfectly paced, insightful, and thought-provoking.
Through this work, I’ve developed a deeper connection with myself and a greater understanding of my own story, appreciating the unique skills it has gifted me. I now embrace mindfulness and awareness with more freedom in my mind and less worry. The techniques I’ve learned have become invaluable tools for walking through life successfully.
Anna is a true Goddess—calm, collected, and always present. She created a safe space for open, sensitive discussions, offering authentic, non-judgmental support. Her guidance has opened my eyes to the truth I was seeking all along.
If you’re considering working with Anna, do it! This experience has been enlightening, helping me face my fears,
respond with self-love and gain a deeper connection with myself and the world around me. I'm so grateful for this journey.
Carmela, Women's Health Advocate, United Kingdom.
Mentoring 1-1. I met Anna at a time in my life when I had lost my vision and couldn’t see where to step next. My path felt overgrown with weeds of disappointment and low self-esteem. Outwardly, I appeared as a successful, polished professional, with a loving partner, children, and grandchildren—but inside, I had forgotten who I was.
Anna’s mentorship, through her well-structured program, helped me step away from the fearful stories I kept believing about myself. She would gently remind me when I was slipping back into old narratives, and over time, I learned to catch myself. Quietly, I returned to my deep inner truth, and that truth was kind. With this, I began to believe in myself and what was possible for my future.
Anna helped me experience profound change by teaching me to see myself through eyes of love and choice. As I embraced this, life and my relationships transformed. Now, I navigate life with my own moral compass, equipped with the tools to handle both its joys and challenges. This newfound freedom has allowed me to pursue my creative passions for the first time in my life. I thank God for sending me Anna—she has been a lighthouse when I needed it most.
Robyn, Professional Writer, Australia
1-1 Mentoring. I participated in the 3-month Mindfulness Immersion with Anna as I had been through some long standing, challenging events. Anna provides a very safe, confidential and caring space to guide you through a process of learning your own story and the importance of awareness and mindfulness. I would say to someone considering this course - You must! You will learn so much about yourself and gain a deeper understanding of why you think what you think and do what you do.
Tracy, Manager, New Zealand.
1-1 Mentoring. This awareness work is like turning up the light in a dark room so that I could see in the corners of my life, and often things I wasn’t even aware were causing limitations. It has made a positive impact on how I engage in my business and personal relationships as I am more aware of myself and others.
The value has been significant, and I will be adopting more of this structure and processes in the future with my work as Business Advisor and Mentor.
Warrick, Business Coach, Australia
1-1 Mentoring. I was referred to Anna by my Business Coach. After meeting with Anna, I decided the (EAP) mentoring program could benefit me on a personal level. It was very different from anything I had done before and caused me to think very differently about myself and life. Anna helped me get specific about the root cause that kept presenting as drama and confusion in my life. Once I identified the root cause, I was able to be specific in a plan of action. My mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being have been enhanced with focus and attention towards my true priorities. My relationships are more defined, rich and I have clarity in what's truly important for me personally and professionally.

1-1 Mentoring. I
I was interested in the Awareness Program and decided to learn more. After meeting Anna, I knew I had to do it. The work is intelligent and thoughtfully structured, yet it continues to challenge me—especially when confronting the story (narrative) that had shaped my life for years. As an active 70-year-old woman, I was ready to face it head-on.
I’ve started handling situations differently, and I feel more peaceful, loved, and genuinely happy. I’m on top of my life now, and this is such a departure from anything I’ve experienced before, making me believe that this change is here to stay. I absolutely love this program—it’s been so good for me and for those around me. I proudly tell everyone I have a mentor; it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made at this stage in my life. Anna has become a dear friend, and I’m always happy to remind others that it’s never too late to learn something new.
Isabel, Retiree, Australia
Personal Growth - learning together
Events. I was feeling tired and rundown. I was searching for some life direction and life time purpose. I actually said to Anna on my arrival that I didn’t want to go the my grave with the legacy of just working a job. During the 2 - day immersion, I found that my work and personal life values were out of kilter.
I discovered the lifelong story that has been holding me back. Anna is just brilliant at understanding ones story and her ability to articulate exactly what I was trying to express is phenomenal.
I highly recommend this course to anyone that is feeling burnt out; constantly rushing between work and and home.
This course is unique in discovering your own mindset and providing you with the practical and tailor made tools to change/upgrade ones mindset and more importantly finding fulfilment and purpose in your life.
I haven’t come across anything like it in my years of personal development discovery. It is very synced and thorough, but more importantly you come out of it with personable actionable tools that will lovingly change one's old belief and mindset patterns for the better.
Michelle, Business Owner, Australia
Events. I was already committed to a high-level business coaching program when I considered attending 2 - Day Intensive. Any investment in time needs a return and I wanted assurance that it would be of value for me. Anna was very direct that this workshop offered a different prospective and would enhance my development. She was right.
The content and delivery were precisely what I am requiring at this time as I have been navigating the total change of everything that was familiar in my life and in my career. Anna’s gentle guidance through each step of this process really resonated with me. I look forward to integrating all I have learnt more fully.
Sally, Business Owner, Australia
Event. The awareness course with Anna has above anything else, reminded me of the importance of touching base with my emotional needs more often, and in a more purposeful manner. In doing these exercises I have reinforced and reflected on what values are currently most important in my life and can therefore live more ‘true to myself’. This brings me greater peace. It is too easy to listen to that inner voice which is sometimes based on past negative experiences or old ideas, instead of simply living in the now and listening to your heart, and how you feel about a situation – not how you ‘think’ you should feel.
Anna has a trusting, professional and charismatic nature which made me feel comfortable to share personal topics and take on board her experienced, relevant and insightful advice. I also found Anna’s high level of communication and follow-up emails extremely professional and reassuring. I am so grateful for the happiness in my life and Anna encouraged me to keep creating more of this on my journey of self-awareness.
Samantha, Business Owner, New Zealand
Event. The Mindfulness Course is an awakening experience with thorough content that is thought provoking and revealing. It helps to strip layers away and exposes the essence of who you are. Anna provides a space for you to enable to be free to learn about your authentic self.
There is so much improvement in accepting my authentic self, speaking my truth, and how I can choose to utilize my beautiful gifts positively. Learning more about awareness and mindfulness. Also learning about self-forgiveness. If you are considering doing this workshop, then you are likely to be at a place in your life where you are truly ready to place yourself first. You are ready to understand the answers to your questions about the real authentic you.
Gina, Conscious Mama, New Zealand
Event. The Mindfulness Course was something I knew I had to do although I wasn't completely sure what it was about or that it was going to change my whole life around for the better of myself, my family and my future life. I was nervous about coming as I was quite shy when it came to opening up about myself.
Meeting Anna was an instant relief and comfort to my soul. This made it easier to want to be there and open up with my life and mind to take in all the knowledge and gain my confidence back. It was an amazing three days and Anna and this workshop will forever be in my life. For this I am truly grateful.
I am writing this a little over 5 months since I started with Anna and PTM. During those 5 months I have been mindful and more aware of how the program works. I am happy to say, I have found what I was looking for (confidence in all areas of my life) even though I didn't know all of this was within myself. It was an amazing workshop and has changed my life. Do it, trust the instructor and workshop so you can open yourself up for all the great knowledge and life changing experience.
Sarah, Conscious Mama. New Zealand
Event. I have to admit that the awareness course for business owners gave me much more than I expected. The fresh head-space I am enjoying to use in my business is so valuable. I know every business person could use that and it all came from simply giving up two Saturdays. Anna is such a gem, providing a supportive environment, she got out of me more than I could see clearly in my own head and in the end it was all my ideas, my concepts and that made it all the more worthwhile. Anna is a fantastic facilitator who absolutely knows how to read and engage a room.
Donna, Business Owner, Australia
Event. I had recently left corporate (one of many changes) and was in transition. After completing the enhances awareness mentoring program with Anna, I was clear that it was my time to pursue a new career path. The awareness short course for small business owners resonated with me.
Anna is a fantastic facilitator who absolutely knows how to read and engage a room. She understands how to create a safe space for us to open up and dream big. Her energy and her passion to make a difference is very contagious.
I enjoyed the workshop a lot and took very valuable insights home with me. Thank you, Anna, for guiding us through that fantastic workshop and for empowering us to walk on our unique pathways.
Sonja, Teacher Yoga, Australia
Event. I attended Anna’s two-day, awareness course for small business owners because I was interested in finding out how to have more confidence in reaching people. Anna provided a simple and inspired process for gaining insights about myself value and how to take that out into the world. She is very engaging and thoughtful in her approach.
I felt her acceptance of myself and for each of the participants and especially her interest in helping people express themselves fully, was outstanding. She created a very comfortable space and made everyone feel relaxed about sharing their mission in the world.
Carolyn, Wellness Coach, Australia
Event. I thoroughly enjoyed the one-day workshop to discover your unique brilliance. The information and process were real and effective. I will be referring back to my workbook many times. For what is achieved, this has to be the best one-day workshop I have attended.
