About this Service

I offer 1:1 coaching for people who want deeper internal freedom and more meaningful external success.

My clients are thoughtful, creative, capable people full of potential, who feel stuck in patterns of dissatisfaction and want a way forward that feels honest and sustainable.

If things aren't flowing in your life, a session with me can unlock some stuck energy and build traction for change.

This is for you if you are:

- tired of being self-aware but still stuck

- ready to stop stalling or overriding yourself

- craving more self-trust, direction, and momentum

- wanting meaningful change without upending your whole life

- hungry for honesty, accountability, and a more lived sense of freedom

- willing to experiment and explore

In our work together, I draw from mindset coaching, ontological theory, mindfulness, value-based living, story, and energy work when relevant. If you're a fan of the esoteric, I can absolutely use Human Design, astrology, and tarot to supplement the work we do. Ultimately, I'm committed to learning who YOU are and understanding the process that works best for you.

This listing is for a free sample session. It’s a chance to experience my coaching with no pressure and no strings attached. You’re welcome to continue working with me afterward, or simply take what was useful and go on your merry way :-)

About this Lister

Hello, my name is Anna!

Credentials:

- ICF-certified professional coach with over 200 hours of 1:1 client coaching experience
- 3 years at Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation, a century-old nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals find satisfying careers

I'm a life coach, singer-songwriter, actor, and former aptitude consultant, currently based in the Capital Region. I spent almost a decade living in New York City and fell in love with it during the pandemic. I'm a particularly good fit for artists and creatives, as much of my network still lives there and I have a strong understanding of the music, theater, and arts scenes. But I do love working with incredible people stuck in corporate hell! I am a Mets fan, which tells you a lot about my resilience 😂

I grew up on a little island off the coast of Massachusetts, which has a rich creative scene and history. You can listen to my EP, The Good Ones, anywhere on streaming.

I do my best to live on the edge of my own life, continuously learning, experimenting, and taking risks.

“I cannot sing Anna's praises highly enough! I came to coaching wanting some big transformation in my life, but unsure of how to get there. In a few short months of coaching with Anna, I went from feeling uninspired and discouraged at my job to confidently moving towards my creative and career dreams, making more money, and trusting my future self's capacity to handle whatever comes next."
— Emily

"I've been in psychoanalysis for years, and her style is a great compliment to that work -- it brings in accountability and action. Anna is so fun to be around, she brings a great balance of warmth, humor and seriousness. I can't recommend working with her enough!! My life has changed dramatically-- I've grown my career, taken more risks as a performer and writer, and generally taken the time to honor and pursue my dreams!"
