Mindfulness
With a strong interest in effective behaviour change, Anna has been on a journey to learn more in this area. Mindfulness is an important element of a healthy lifestyle as it can be used to overcome barriers in personality that might get in the way of making behavioural changes.
Exercise
Sports and being active have many benefits, including, socialising, the feel good effect, a healthy body and mind, challenging oneself and learning new skills. With a major in exercise science and experience with many sports, including, yoga, athletics, ultimate frisbee, tennis, swimming and cycling, Anna shares her love of exercise.
Fun and Play
Being free to create, play and have fun, are core values that Anna lives by and shares as a part of a healthy lifestyle. Music, improvisation theatre, dance, time in nature, sharing hula-hooping and facilitating laughter yoga, are a part of Anna's creative play, while she encourages individuals to find their own joy for a healthy lifestyle.
Learning from Village life
Over the last six years Anna has predominantly spent her time in Asia. This has involved volunteering and also working and conducting research with remote and economically disadvantaged communities. This has been a great insight into the hardships but also the simplicities of the village lifestyle and comparitively the opportunities but also the stresses and pressures of the modern lifestyles. The lessons learnt from these contexts underpin the counselling approach taken, of living true to self.
