My work is devoted to helping mothers walk their adoption journey with courage, creativity, and unwavering inner strength.

NOTE: When I refer to “mothering”, I am speaking to the nurturing energy of the mother and the feminine way of caring for a child. This includes anyone, regardless of gender, who embodies these qualities in a mothering role.

The desire to adopt came to me much like the feeling I had when I was anticipating my second pregnancy. It wasn’t about filling a void or chasing a dream — I simply felt that I had more mothering to give. Excited and full of anticipation, I felt emotionally and mentally pregnant.

What led me to adoption? Honestly, I have no idea. There was no infertility struggle, no lifelong plan, and adoption wasn’t even a conversation in my world.

  • "Anna helped me prepare for motherhood in a way no agency or book ever could."

    “It wasn’t just about information, it was about feeling ready, grounded, and connected before my child ever came home.”

    Amanda H. 

  • "I reached out to Anna thinking I needed help for my kids, both of whom have neurodivergent challenges, but what I found was myself. "

    “She reminded me that the way I value my own worth is a mirror for my children’s sense of theirs. I’m learning to parent from a place of strength and loving, strong boundaries, but also to remain open to the possibilities of the children I have. This is a huge game changer!”

    Anna Lisa, NY

  • "I wasn’t even looking for help when I came across Anna’s work, but her story felt like she was speaking directly to me."

    "I knew I had to work with her. We are only 4 months into it, and the support I’ve received is truly amazing! I wouldn’t be where I am without it. Thank you!”

    Carol, CA

  • "Anna helped me feel more grounded and confident about becoming a mom."

    "My husband and I are expecting twins who are due in May. I started working with Anna last October because not having the preparation of pregnancy left me feeling insecure. We started with a personality test, and I wasn’t sure about it at first, but it blew me away with how it connected to the kind of mother I want to be. I also picked up practical tips on things like talking to pediatricians and other professionals ahead of visits, and how to handle questions from friends and family. We’re only three months into our year-long mentoring, and I’ve already learned so much!"

    Kathy & Ted, NY

  • "Working with Anna is like having the best of your closest friend, mum, grandma, and therapist right in your pocket."

    "Even at 3am!"

    Paula, NM

  • “Clarity gives us strength to know what to do.”

    “I love Anna!”
