Annie’s background includes strategic marketing in consumer goods and health care fields, and studying meditation in the Himalayan Mountains of India for 8 years. A business career that has spanned more than 30 years, Annie’s passion is “Radical Wisdom”, a courageous stand for authentic expression of who you are at your core, and integration of body, mind and spirit, in your life and in the workplace.

Client Testimonials "I worked with Annie for the better part of the past year, and she coached me on both professional and personal matters. In the period of time following my coaching experience with Annie, I have experienced more personal and professional growth than ever before — and I attribute much (if not all) of it to the guidance and help I received during my sessions with Annie. Simply put, she is an EXCELLENT coach who can help you discover (or get back in touch with) your own true self and use that connection to make your life and pursuits infinitely more rewarding and fulfilling. I consider Annie a trusted friend and ally, as well as a coach, who I can call on at any time I may need some guidance in the future. I would highly recommend her, without any reservations, for anyone who is genuinely interested in living and leading a more honest, complete and rewarding life." "Annie brought enormous compassion, understanding and authenticity to our coaching. With her support I have been able to explore and accept parts of myself that previously I have been too ashamed or frightened to face, but which were driving attitudes and behaviours that were destructive to my sense of self and to my relationships. Annie has given me tools that have become integral to how I approach my day. I could not recommend her more highly to anyone who feels the need to change how they feel about themselves." "There are not enough words to describe how I feel about the relationship we have had over the past 9 months. Your insight, your patience, your kindness and toughness have all been appreciated. I have learned, or maybe better, re-affirmed things about myself I had forgotten. You were there, your full non-judgemental self when I needed you and you helped me see clearly through difficult situations. I am making a difference and I can make a positive impact on all aspects of my life and I want to thank you for reminding me of how strong and courageous I am...." "Because of client confidentiality rules, you weren't able to tell the world that I'm one of the very fortunate women who is thriving today because of the (work) we did together. But, because I'm the client, I can sing your praises to the world. Let me sing a song of Annie... You helped me to identify some long-standing patterns in my life that were holding me back from achieving greater happiness and health. As a result of what I learned during our coaching sessions, I started to see a new world of possibilities for myself -- possibilities that I had been afraid to embrace because I didn't have enough faith in myself. Every day, I am living out the blueprint that we developed together." "Annie helped me realise the impact I have on others, learn how to listen more effectively, how to coach my leaders, focus on employees' strengths, manage change more effectively, be an authentic leader by speaking from the gut, "tell the hard truth", set very clear and specific goals.... And how could I forget - I don't have to do everything myself!" "Annie has a skill for probing, digging and asking the right questions to get to the heart of a matter quickly. The issue is then fed back to me so that I can see it clearly. Then Annie helps to build a mechanism or tool to deal with this issue on an ongoing basis."
