"Anni and her art workshop gave me more than just pointers on how to work with light and shadow. In this space she opened up a divine channel for my soul and painting to connect. This allowed for the process of painting to be very enlightening. Giving and receiving from my painting made a powerful message come through. Her guidance through this creative process was necessary for me to explore new grounds. She coached me to let go, soften and embrace the experience of painting my painting. This helped me to feel less stuck in my mind and become open to the essence of energy guiding me beyond my limited view point. The whole process seems very intuitive and she works well with all levels of painters. I highly recommend her facilitation as it was very helpful for me" (Keena McKnight, June 2019).
"The guidance, practical tools, reflections, and insights you’ve offered during my sessions with you have been a pivotal part of my journey over the last several months — helping me move from a state of exhaustion and near crisis to rediscovery of my true self.... living more deeply from the heart than ever before. For this I am so grateful! You have a true gift, Anni!" (Individual counseling client, May 2018).
"Anni has offered gentle and pivotal support for me over the last several months. Using an intuitive approach, often led by where I needed to go in our discussions, she has offered me reflections and practical guidance to help me not only cope with times of stress and exhaustion, but learn how to draw on my own inner strength, wisdom and intuition to flourish overall. Anni has helped me reconnect with the best in myself so that I may better support my own well being and that of my family. I would highly recommend Anni to anyone seeking support and guidance in a respectful and caring environment" (individual counseling client, May, 2018).
"Anni's approach was very honoring of our journey, her ability to hold space and her encouragement for us to honor our own needs and journey was critical to us being able to re-establish communication. She created a safe space for us to share things we were afraid to table and work through. I would highly recommend Anni's support if your journey is going through a hard time". (Relational/Couple's counseling client, January 17, 2017). "Anni is an inspiring warrior of the heart, piercing blue eyes, eagle yes seeing through one self. I feel her feet grounded in the earth and her chest wide open to spirit, love flowing in and out.. body moving with grace and comfort" (Laurence Kemp, July 2016).
"Anni's strength is her ability to connect with her clients and form a therapeutic relationship - especially female clients with a history of trauma.. she is an excellent counsellor, intuitive & skilled." (Malabar, C, December, 2015).
"I found the space to be emotionally very safe and was surprised by the emotions coming up for me that do not often surface, because I felt comfortable enough to be my full self. I could be truthful with/about myself in another person's presence. About the horses, they are so real and honest. Already coming from a horse background in a very "horse and rider" kind of relationship, it felt so healing and freeing to connect with the horses on a whole new level, being to being. Anni's guidance was invaluable in showing me how to get to those places." (Individual client, July 14, 2015).
"Anni and Tamrah made an outstanding difference in our son's life, and that of our whole family." (Parent of youth client April 15, 2015).
"When I was going through some difficult times in my life, Anni offered me what I needed - whether I knew it or not: shelter, safety, beauty, non-judgement, deep listening, beautiful vistas, compassionate heart, the space to be until the cloud lifted and I was able to process what I needed to." (Program participant, June 8, 2009).
