A Message from Ann Marie
As a single working mom, I've navigated some incredibly tough years. At the time, I was striving to make it through each day. But with hindsight, I've come to realize that I possess the capacity to conquer adversity and an abundance of grit and resilience. Most importantly, I want you to recognize your strength – your inherent ability to triumph over life's challenges.
Resilience can be challenging to define concisely, but I lean toward this interpretation: Resilience is the art of maintaining a positive outlook, effectively managing challenging emotions and devising solutions even in the face of adversity.
Reflecting on my journey, I've accepted that life doesn't always follow our expected path. Yet, through these unexpected detours, we gain strength and cultivate a fresh perspective.
I'm confident that whatever challenge you face, you too will emerge from it – perhaps not without scars, maybe a bit weathered, but undeniably stronger.

Ann Marie is amazing!
I began my mindfulness journey about a year ago with her. Even after the first session I felt refreshed and more at peace. Now a regular, the sessions have changed my life.
Ann Marie has taught me how to level set my day, reduce stress and ultimately how to approach my work and my family differently. No longer am I over rotating, speaking before I think and reacting to what's around me. Instead, she taught me how to take a step back, think, and align my thoughts before acting.
Even better she's given me tools to pass this approach on to my teams and others. If you are on the fence about working with her, don't. Jump in and don't stay there.
