Hey there friend! My name is Annika, I’ve been a certified holistic health practitioner since 2015- and I LOVE what I do!!!
In my 20’s I struggled with a nervous system stuck in the survival response. When the nervous system is stuck on loop in this survival response, you’ll see a lot of the symptoms I was experiencing, like: lots of chronic digestive issues, getting sick often, chronic fatigue, feeling anxious, panicky and experiencing social anxiety, feeling stuck or behind in life, disrupted sleep and hormone imbalances.
I eventually went back to school to focus on holistic mental health, functional medicine and holistic trauma education. I got targeted functional testing done so I knew what nutrients my body needed. I used somatic practices to create safety in my body.
I now had real answers and a roadmap to balance my mind and body. The panic attacks finally stopped, my digestion was improving and I was feeling SAFE in my body. Best of all, I was feeling present, calmer and really excited about my future! I was finally thriving, not just surviving! (Which allowed me to quit my desk job and go full-time as a wellness practitioner!)
I deeply understand the disruptive impact that chronic stress and trauma can have on individuals and families. Whether you’re concerned with gut-related problems like bloating and food sensitivities or if you’re having a really tough time managing anxiety, depression or dealing with trauma-related symptoms, I’ll help you uncover your root-causes and finally get relief long-term.
It’smy passion to help humans transform and alchemize the effects of stress and trauma in their body with functional medicine and somatic healing. I use the same root-cause approach with my clients that I follow myself, while honoring their own beautiful story and bio-individuality.
