Annapurna — known to her clients as Anna — is a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner with a deep, lifelong commitment to the intelligence of the body. Her path into somatic work began through her own healing journey, a winding exploration of how the nervous system holds and releases the imprints of experience.
Anna works with a quality of slow, attentive presence — creating space for the body’s own wisdom to surface. She is not here to fix or direct, but to accompany. Her sessions are shaped by genuine curiosity about each person’s unique physiology, history, and capacity for change.
In addition to her SE training, Anna has undertaken extended study in Continuum Movement — Emilie Conrad’s pioneering practice of fluid, exploratory movement — and in Prenatal & Womb Surround work, which addresses the formative experiences of life before and during birth. These modalities form an integrated whole that allows her to meet clients at the deepest levels of their embodied experience.
Anna also draws on a background in Waldorf pedagogy, which informs her understanding of developmental stages, rhythmic learning, and the relationship between movement, imagination, and human growth.
