An early morning hello to you 👋

Are you breathing?

If no, let yourself take a breath right now.

Our breath intrinsically connects us to our feelings and our being. When you breathe, you give yourself space to be.

Right now, I think we all need a little space. Space to feel, process, and relax.

I’m offering a full moon retreat on Saturday May 2nd from 11am-3pm, $125. Expect breathwork, somatic movement, journaling, and a safe space to spend a few hours with your own light and power.

Register in my bio ✨

And remember to breathe!! ❤️

Better late than never!!

Wedding season is on, and I couldn’t be happier. This is my fourth year officiating weddings full-time, and it never fails to amaze me how incredibly lucky I am to do this work. I feel blessed with the exceptional couples I get to work with alongside all of the amazing vendors who make the couples’ special day shine so brightly. Hooray for love!!!!! ❤️

If you are looking for a heart-centered officiant who prioritizes your values and personalities to create an unforgettable ceremony, please don’t hesitate to be in touch! I also do life ceremonies, vow renewals, and any moment of passage that calls for a ceremonial touch. I’m multi-functional!

Here’s to a beautiful spring, a gorgeous wedding season, and many more videos and shares to come!

I went to the water today. I stood at the shoreline and just stared. No matter how crazy, disjointed, or messed up my day is, a moment at the water can feel like a balm to my nerves.

I’ve been thinking about the times we are moving through and how each of us are navigating our own unique waters in our own ways. The term sonder applies here - it means the awareness that everyone has as rich and complex of a life as you do. My god the depths, the tides, and the waves.

I’m offering my first online class in what feels like years. If you’re seeking an extended pause of peace, clarity, and connection, join me on Saturday, May 2nd from 11am-3pm ET. The workshop is called Reconnecting to You: A Full Moon Retreat and everyone is welcome. Link in bio to join us ❤️

Keep breathing, keep feeling your body, and know that even if the challenges you are moving through feel huge and insurmountable, there is a way through it all.

Sending love and soft ocean waves 🌊💕

Colombia, te amo 🇨🇴🌴❤️

Three weeks ago, I was on a plane to the extraordinary country of Colombia. I had no intention of going anywhere, much less leaving our toasty home in the deep snows of winter. And then my amazing stepmom texted me and said that she couldn’t go on this beautiful yoga/fitness retreat and would I like to go in her place?

Um, yes please.

My wife said she was surprised I said yes as I am a heliophobe and don’t do well in the heat. Add to that combo the fact that I hadn’t attended a fitness class since 2019 and I can understand her surprise. Clearly, she underestimated this Sagittarius and her wanderlust 😁

Getting there was an adventure. Bogota airport takes no prisoners, but when I finally arrived and was greeted by the marvelous and intrepid and my beloved , I knew it was all going to be ok.

And wow, was it!

Twice daily practice, fresh and delicious local food, fascinating and wonderful women, and all under the oceanside jungle canopy. It was nothing short of a blessing from start to finish.

The land spoke stories I dont fully understand. There was a fresh wildness, almost a feral sense of the intensity of life. I may have been overcome with emotion more than once when I let myself slow down and simply feel.

On the last night (last pic) a shaman and his family came to offer a deeply moving ceremony. It was deeply special.

I admit ignorance to the extent of Colombia’s history which I didn’t start to learn about until I was about to leave. I have so much more to learn.

Thank you for this exceptional gift 🙏❤️
Thank you for your amazing work, brilliant stewardship, and general badassery 💪❤️
Thank you for your guidance, encouragement and epic reading list 📚❤️ Hanging w you, was the best
Thank you for keeping our babies alive and holding the fort down while I did my best impression of an albino vampire on holiday 🐾❤️
Thank you for everything. Everyone was so kind and my god that massage changed my life. Just wow 🌴❤️
Gracias a la tierra y al alma de Colombia 🇨🇴❤️ Me encantó !!

The best way to counter inertia is to take just one step in the direction of what you are wanting.

I’ve been very quiet on here for months because of 1) life and 2) trying to take time away from my screens. In honor of Aries season and all the good things, consider this my reentry into all things social and sharing 👋

Here’s a wintry recap of what the last three months have looked like up in the wilds of Midcoast Maine. I love a good, snowy winter and wow did we get one.

With love and a whole lot more to come ❤️

I may have been quiet over these last several months, but consider this a reactivation post ✨ I've got some new courses about to come online and lots to share from this lovely corner of the woods, so stay tuned!

As we move into the weekend, I invite you to breathe, move your joints, and breathe again.

We're moving through a lot of intensity right now, and when we tend to our bodies and our breath, we develop resource that can pave the way to more peaceful interactions.

Keep breathing and I'll see you soon ❤️

I haven’t posted in months, so consider this my gentle reentry onto social media…

It’s been a cold, glorious winter up here in Midcoast Maine and I am savoring the sunshine bouncing off the snow as I type.

2025 ended in a whirlwind. Here are some highlights:

❄️ Married 28 amazing couples all over this glorious state
❄️ Moved my mom to Maine
❄️ Launched a refreshed website
❄️ Taught dozens of writing classes and courses with my partner in creativity
❄️ Started attending Quaker meetings (which I LOVE)
❄️ Hosted and produced several incredible shows as my alter ego
❄️ Started rewriting my first book 😬

This year holds incredible opportunity and deep challenge, and for the first time, I can say I feel more present than I’ve ever been. It’s not always comfortable, but that’s ok. Stillness is my new practice, along with taking big breaks from my phone and burrowing down into my heart to rest and remind myself of my purpose, direction, and choices. Grounding, rest, and letting go of everything that is no longer needed is key 🔑

I’m looking forward to sharing some new courses I’m working on, bits from the book I’m revising, and more of my lovely life up here in the woods of Maine 🌲❤️ If there’s anything you’d like to see more of, let me know!

Wishing you ease, softness, a malleable heart, accessibility, and reminders to come back to your breath no matter what 🌬️💕

With love (and lots more to come,)
Anna

This is the face I make when I receive a glowing review 😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Officiating weddings is a job that never even occurred to me before 2017 and now I can’t imagine NOT doing it! This review sent my heart soaring ❤️ doubly so because this couple was a total dream to work with.

It is so rewarding to work with couples like these two, even more so when things go wrong (like the bride’s MUA and hair stylist being a no-show 😱) and they roll with the punches without batting an eyelash. Bravo! And a true testament to keeping cool when things go sideways.

SO MUCH work goes into weddings and it is an honor to be a part of the process to ensure the couple gets exactly what they want in the ceremony while marrying their true love.

If you or anyone you know is planning a wedding in Maine, let’s be in touch! I love my job more than I can say, and it is an honor to have worked with close to 70 couples (!!) over the last eight years. Maine is an incredible place to get married, seal a commitment, or renew your vows, and I am here to make it happen for you!

Hooray for love! And long live the happy couple!!
