Hi, I'm Anja.
I help people understand the unique subconscious messages of their body, psyche and soul and redefine their challenges as strengths so they can live a life of excellence.
I have spent over a decade leading individuals and groups in transformative, healing experiences and guiding them back to the potential and power which already exists within them.
As a yoga and meditation instructor, spirituality, health and nutrition coach, intuitive healer, shamanic practitioner, I use powerful mind/body practices to support deep healing and lasting change.
My strengths lie in a connection to unseen aspects of a situation, the ability to see and hold space for challenges, and the fervent belief in our innate ability to heal.
My story
When I was eleven years old, I was struck by the onset of a mysterious illness, plaguing me with 20o different symptoms which were later diagnosed as chronic Lyme disease. By the time I was diagnosed at 16 years old, I had physically deteriorated to the point of being bedridden for three years and having had two near death experiences. It was after these near death experiences that my understanding of life and existence changed:
I realized that death doesn’t exist in the way that we know it, but transformation does. I wanted to explore the complexity of transformation for myself and dedicate myself to the support and healing of others suffering in the world.
Thus began my journey into the realms of spiritual teachings and mind/body medicine.
At the age of eighteen, I became a kundalini yoga teacher, learning to harness the profound healing technology of mantra, movement, breath and intention to support transformation in others.
I spent the next decade traveling the world and studying the healing traditions of several lineages. I became a shamanic practitioner and health coach. I studied everything from esoteric energy healing practices, western herbs for healing, acupuncture, reiki and sound healing, to homeopathy, nutritional counseling, heavy metal chelation and hyperthermia treatments.
In 2020, I became deeply disenfranchised with the wellness and self help industry, and quit teaching all together. I vowed that I would not step back into the world of healing until I knew that I would not be part of the problem of unhealthy power dynamics so prevalent in that industry.
I pivoted and began high level creative mentoring for female artists and entrepreneurs, while also quietly doing one-off intuitive readings and healing ceremonies on the side.
Having been a lifelong musician, I pivoted from sound healings and mantra music to creatively exploring my own inner world through music, beginning to write and record my own folk inspired music.
In 2022 I moved from Los Angeles California to an island in the Baltic Sea, and started teaching yoga again. In 2023 I enrolled in a four year intensive diploma course in Naturopathy and Acupuncture.
I am also now in the process of recording my first studio EP.
