Meet Annika
I began my path as a healer as many of us do, in seeking to heal from my own traumatic childhood and family life. In my early 30's, I was suffering from severe food allergies, so I began working with a healer who was an acupuncturist, NAET practitioner and energy healer. The food allergies turned out to be a doorway into a healing path that included healing for my childhood traumas, but soon expanded into past lives, energetic entanglements, vulnerabilities to dark entities and energies, enneagram wounds, and more!

I also became connected to my angels and spiritual guides and began to develop my intuitive abilities. I discovered the fascinating and empowering world of energy healing. I instinctively began to explore the modalities and learned that I could take charge of my own healing, doing whatever I could myself, turning to other healers when I felt stuck.
I took the Healing from the Body Level Up (HBLU) Level 1 training, jump-starting my intuitive abilities and creating a foundation for the work. But from the beginning I've been a synthesizer, absorbing the techniques and modalities I experience, combining them, transforming them and integrating them with new and unique ones that I receive directly from the spiritual world.
I apprenticed myself to my energy healer for the next 7 years, through him being exposed to HBLU Levels 2-4, The LifeLine Technique, BodyTalk, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), NLP, EMDR, Louise Hay's work, and more, though I claim no certification in any of these. Since then, I have integrated elements from ThetaHealing and Somatic Experiencing. I also have an attunement for a healing hands modality (like Reiki) received by myself and a friend which we call StarPoint.
For many years, energy healing was in the background of my more public life. Of course, I was always my own best client and I owe my skills as a healer to all the healing I had to do on myself! But, I also began giving healing sessions to friends, slowly widening my practice to include other practitioners and the general public.
I completed the Waldorf Teacher Training in Early Childhood Education in Seattle in 2009, and joyfully taught preschool and kindergarten for 7 years. This time with the little ones gave me a profound understanding of the small child within all of us and how to tend to them in times of distress and help them find access to their own inner passions, gifts and drives.

I then took the leap to work with children ages 7-17 as a nature connection mentor with Wilderness Awareness School (WAS) and Vashon Wilderness Program, simultaneously taking the Anake Leadership Program (a 9-month nature connection mentor apprenticeship) with WAS. In the 5 years I did this work, I deepened my understanding of the needs and gifts of children of all ages, at the same time experiencing and witnessing how connection to nature is essential for well-being.
Listening to the spiritual world has been the bedrock of all my healing and my intuitive and spiritual abilities. This spiritual listening naturally extended into the natural world, leading me into deep communion with the beings of nature. |
I am currently a student in the 4 year Feldenkrais Method Practitioner Training, expanding my scope of skills to help people with chronic pain or physical limitations have more movement options. Because the body, emotions, mind, and spirit are all connected, the profound transformations effected on the body through this work ripple out, affecting all the other parts of our selves.
I am already combining this new work with my intuitive healing abilities and guidance from the spiritual world for a powerful integrated body, mind, psyche, emotion, and spirit modality...
