About Anita
Meet Anita, a seasoned practitioner in the spiritual realm, offering a unique blend of holistic practices. Much like many others, she's a Reiki Master Teacher, viewing Reiki as a gateway to expanding spiritual practices. As a 200hr certified meditation teacher, Gong Master, and a 200hr YTT candidate, Anita advocates for a balanced approach, integrating spiritual guidance with talk therapy from licensed professionals.
Anita's journey into the spiritual realm began with a profound awakening during her teenage years, navigating through an intense period that sparked her spiritual growth. This transformative experience cultivated resilience and led her to embrace her intuitive gifts, becoming attuned to her five clair abilities. In a playful twist of fate, Anita often jokes that she'd make a terrific candidate as a CIA agent, her intuitive prowess a secret weapon in navigating the hidden dimensions of existence.
Anita has a vast spectrum of human experiences, embodies the Reflector personality. Her journey into self-discovery unfolded as she navigated the delicate balance between being an empath and embracing her role as a Reflector. In her early 20s, Anita harnessed the transformative power of her Reflective nature, mastering the art of adapting to and mirroring the energies around her.
Unlike traditional empaths, Anita, as a Reflector, possesses an unparalleled ability to be everything and anything she desires, serving as a mirror to the world. Stepping into corporate boardrooms, she leaves crowds spellbound, a testament to her adaptability and the magic within her open energy field. Anita's wisdom lies in discerning between toxic and elevating energies, creating boundaries to safeguard her well-being. Her journey reflects a profound understanding that her power emanates from embracing the fluidity of her identity, resisting labels, and gracefully navigating the ever-changing currents of life.
Anita is no stranger to the pitfalls of spiritual communities, having witnessed various forms of gaslighting. With a keen awareness, she is on a mission to bring genuine light into the often toxic space of "light and love" that has permeated spiritual circles for years. Beyond the traditional roles, Anita is your neighborhood plant witch, inviting you to join her during plant-infused ceremonies where the magic of plants and beverages converges.
Delving deeper, Anita connects with dragon energy, fostering a serene and grounded presence. A true "feeler," she gracefully maneuvers through life, guided by the powerful dragon within. If you've experienced her Reiki, you've felt the soothing warmth—a testament to the dragon's healing influence.
Anita approaches sound healing with a scientific perspective, considering it a vital element in her belief system. She guides participants through different states of consciousness, aiming to provide profound relaxation and inner wisdom. Sound healing, for Anita, is not just a modality; it's a guide into profound states of relaxation. She seeks to help participants calm their nervous systems, fostering a steady sense of calm in their personal lives.
Anita's philosophy centers on self-empowerment and the creative potential of the mind. As a Claircognizant and dragon spirit summoner, she shares her energy to guide others on a sonic journey of self-discovery and healing.
Beyond her healing work, Anita finds solace in Celtic Rock and Nordic Folk melodies. Thriving without being handcuffed to our modern digital world, you can find her sitting in stillness, listening to the trees, and being ever-present in her everyday life, cherishing the small moments of joy with her family and pets. Her partnership with Adriane, marked by the gifting of a singing bowl, ignited a transformative journey that continues to resonate.
