About Anna
Anna’s vision has been refined throughout the years: (re)connecting through the senses to empower oneself, evoke authenticity, elevate consciousness, connect in community, and embrace one’s humanness. She offers this via meaningful events, mindful movement, meditation, storytelling, and music.
The whole story: After finishing a degree in International Affairs and Economics at George Washington University, Anna moved to Australia to start a year of travel. This led her through Southeast Asia, where she solidified her passion for wellness, self-evolution, and community. She’s since lived in London, Los Angeles, Berlin, and Hamburg, currently based in Zurich.
Anna has held positions in marketing, events, and community at both startups and corporations. She’s successfully executed various events in the past 8 years, ranging from launching the Grip the Mat brand in London to planning team-building trips for a remote digital marketing agency in picturesque locations. Her expertise extends to corporate and hospitality events, as well as branding, social media marketing, and blog post writing.
The common thread? Her interest in people and being human, inspirational stories, and the variety of ways to live out your unique life. From teaching yoga & meditation at various local studios, Anna continues to understand people - their ticks, boundaries, energies, and moods - and has used these learnings to continue fostering a safe space for everyone, regardless of their life choices and identities.
As a storyteller, Anna aims to help unique brands share their essence. She also shares snapshots of people walking their authentic paths on her podcast, Breaking Free: Life as a Sunflower. This encompasses life lessons and wisdom learned along the way, as well as how to overcome challenges and doubts.
In the present moment, Anna is creating events & retreats, podcasting, freelancing, and collaborating with inspirational and creative souls to express their vision to the world. Get in touch to work together!
