Anna completed four years in the NIASZIIH Healing program in January 2023.​​ With a juris doctor degree, a professional background in education, and a number of published writings, Anna has experienced many opportunities for growth. Her healing journey began around the birth of her fourth child. When western medicine could not (and would not) help her, she turned to alternative therapies. This long personal journey ultimately led her to wildernessFusion and NIASZIIH healing, where she realized she had both found her people and a renewed sense of purpose. The road toward healing for herself had transformed into a journey toward helping others. Anna continues her own internal healing work and offers her experience as a threshold for others to navigate their way through the time we each have here on Earth.
