well hello there,
I'm Anna
My story began with my work as an On-site Program Director for American study abroad students, where I had the privilege of helping young people for over 18 years, navigate the complexities of living and studying in a foreign country. Over the years, I saw firsthand how overwhelming these transitions could be, and I witnessed the power of guidance and support in helping individuals overcome challenges and thrive.
For over 20 years, I’ve called Grenoble, France, my home—a place that’s shaped not only my personal life but also my professional path.
But as much as I loved my role, I knew I was capable of offering something more. I wanted to make a deeper impact...
One that wasn’t just about managing the day-to-day struggles of expats, but about helping people truly transform their lives. That’s when I decided to take a leap into the world of mindset coaching and personal development.
Inspired by my own experiences as a single mother and someone who’s faced my fair share of ups and downs, I discovered the transformative power of mindset shifts, emotional healing, and self-discovery. I knew I could offer others the same support I had found through coaching, therapy, and personal growth. My journey, as messy and challenging as it has been, has taught me that embracing change isn’t always easy—but it’s always worth it.
Now, through my work as a mindset coach, breathwork and meditation facilitator, and psychopracticienne, I’m passionate about helping individuals—whether expats, newcomers, or anyone in need of transformation—navigate their own journeys with confidence, clarity, and a deep sense of purpose. My mission is simple: to guide others toward embracing their true identity, overcoming life’s challenges, and creating a life that feels empowered and aligned with their values.
This business was born out of a deep desire to help people step into their full potential, heal from emotional wounds, and live a life that feels truly their own. I’m here to support you every step of the way, offering you the tools, insight, and encouragement you need to unlock your inner strength and create the change you deserve.
Empower individuals to embrace change, rediscover their true identity, and unlock their full potential through personalized coaching, mindset transformation, and emotional support. I am dedicated to guiding expats, newcomers, and anyone seeking personal growth to navigate life’s transitions with clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of purpose, creating lasting, positive change along the way
My Mission is to...
Why Work With Me?
deep personal experience & empathy
With over 20 years of living in France and my own journey as a single mother, I understand firsthand what it’s like to navigate life’s complexities and embrace change. This deep personal experience allows me to connect with you on a real, human level and offer guidance that truly resonates.
Unlike many coaching services, I offer a well-rounded approach that combines mindset coaching, emotional support (psychopracticienne services), and breathwork. This holistic method ensures that we address the mind, body, and emotions, fostering sustainable growth and lasting change.
Having worked extensively with international students, I bring a unique cultural understanding to my coaching. I’m particularly skilled at helping newcomers, whether they’re adjusting to life in France or other transitions, integrate smoothly into new environments and feel at home in their own identity.
I believe that no two people are alike, so my coaching is completely personalized to meet your unique needs, challenges, and goals. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or guidance through life’s transitions, I provide the support that’s right for you.
My commitment to helping you not just cope, but thrive, sets me apart. I’m here to guide you through deep, transformational work that brings lasting results. It’s not just about temporary solutions; it’s about empowering you to make profound shifts that stay with you long after our work together.

Health
For me, health is the foundation of a balanced and fulfilling life. It’s not just about physical wellness but also mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe in taking a holistic approach to health, prioritizing practices that nurture the body, mind, and spirit. Through coaching, breathwork, and emotional support, I help clients build habits that foster lasting vitality and resilience. Also, if clients are interested in adopting a vegetarian or plant-based lifestyle, I can help them with that transition as I myself eat mainly plant-based for many years now. I also adore cooking and have many recipes!
Nature
Nature is a profound source of inspiration and healing. I find that spending time in nature can provide clarity, peace, and a sense of connection to something greater. As a believer in the restorative power of the natural world, I encourage my clients to integrate time outdoors into their routines, to reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Nature reminds us of our own cycles of growth and renewal.
Connection
For me, connection is about exploring life beyond the surface—understanding the complexities of the mind, emotions, and spirit. It’s the willingness to dive into the heart of challenges, self-discovery, and personal growth. I value going beyond quick fixes or superficial changes, embracing a process that fosters lasting transformation. In my work, I encourage clients to go deep, explore their inner world, and uncover the truths that lead to meaningful, profound shifts. Depth allows us to connect more authentically with ourselves and others, leading to a richer, more fulfilling life.

“My coaching session with Anna was amazing! She had a great structure to her approach, had a supportive and uplifting attitude, and I felt supported and safely guided to dig deep into my goals throughout the session. I would love to work with her again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a solid teammate to remove any negative blocks, to strive towards the life of their dreams. Thanks so much!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of being coached by Anna on a few occasions now and I love my sessions with her. She has helped me action planning and putting a course together that I’m creating making it feel super achievable and going from feeling overwhelmed to empowered 💥 She has also helped me with overcoming limiting beliefs and has achieved this using incredible NLP techniques such as anchoring! Anna is so warm and friendly and I felt totally at ease with her from the moment we had our first session 🤍 I look forward to working with Anna in the future, I can’t thank you enough for all your help”
