Anna Bouma

As a highly trained and skilled coach myself, I am very skeptical and rarely impressed. Anna is one of the good ones and I’m honored to have her in this field.

Her coaching style is incredibly unique as she brings a gentle yet firm approach to guiding you along your journey. Throughout my 10 week coaching sessions with her, I found myself amazed at the insights she uncovered and how they led to my growth process. Her guidance, homework, and coaching methodology allowed to me achieve my goal of “coming home” to me.

I think of Anna often as what she has taught me has been integrated into my daily practices. If you are looking to move forward in your growth process, and it needs to be done with firm, tender loving, care, Anna is the coach for you. I am forever grateful to her work.

From the very outset of my initial coaching session with Anna, I was greeted with a transformation in my mood that continues to resonate within me in the weeks that have followed. This enduring shift can be attributed to the combination of Anna's sensitive expertise and the safe space she cultivated for me to explore and express myself. Her guidance not only provided me with a sanctuary for introspection but also equipped me with tangible tools—before, during, and after our session—that have become indispensable in my journey towards self-healing.

I am deeply grateful for Anna's skillful facilitation, which has left me uplifted and empowered to navigate the complexities of my inner landscape with newfound resilience. The environment created within our time together allowed me to delve into the depths of my being, unraveling knots both within my body and consciousness. Her profound understanding of the intricate connection between the body and emotions was imparted with eloquence that surpassed all expectations.

Anna took me on a journey of both deep relaxation and incredible insight that spanned relationship dynamics and the way I was showing up as a CEO. She creates a space of immense comfort while also going into deeper to zones that I hadn’t explored.

I'm excited to bring her practice to my C suite.

I've been feeling stuckness and anxiety that has taken a strange form in my body. Our session helped me slow down, feel into my physical experience, and release the sticky emotions. I left feeling lighter, and that I had helpful tools and practices to support me.

I felt so impressed at the way Anna holds space so gently, with such kindness and love.

In working with Anna, I feel I am benefiting from a truly creative coaching process. She is calm, kind and accepting. She is also distinctly insightful in her coaching, creating space for me to see what aspects of myself I want to process, clarify, and evolve. Since working with her I’m able to process my life more skillfully. I feel actively inspired to create change through her specific guidance and wisdom, and look forward to the sense of discovery I feel in weekly sessions. Her follow-up emails after sessions help me consolidate learning. I am so appreciative to grow with her support.

Anna is innovative, weaving visualization into the work with threads of art, culture, history, and spirituality. This coaching process feels generative - each week, different aspects of myself are coming to light in ways that surprise me and have allowed for tangible growth.

Before our session I had a ton going on in my life. I was worried that something was going to slip. Anna took me through a somatic exercise that was really helpful for getting me out of my head and into my body & emotions, giving me the opportunity for a release that I knew had been building up, and creating clarity. When that moment of not being able to juggle all the balls did come I was ready and therefore not as harsh on myself.

She helped me move through and release intense emotions with grace, and expertly held the space with poise as she guided me toward a sense of closure and resolution around the troubling topic I brought to her. I felt the session was an excellent use of my time and provided much needed emotional release, mental clarity and confidence. You’re in wonderful hands with Anna.
