Anne loved to travel, moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico for several years before returning home to Rochester, NY. Anne retired as a massage therapist after 23 years.
Anne gathered many healing traditions over a lifetime of learning. In 1998, she graduated from the Crystal Mountain Massage School. In 2002, she was the very first graduate of the Qi Gong Institute of Rochester’s Qigong Therapy program. In 2004, she graduated from Fellowship of the Spirit as a Reverend, Metaphysician, and Psychic Medium. She continued to develop her spiritual evolution with Shamanic healing since 2007 and was initiated in the tradition of the Four Directions, a Peruvian tradition. She also completed training as a Reiki Master. Anne combined these powerful tools together to create her own unique and compassionate healing sessions.
