Anne Van de Water guided me through a massive transformation through her rituals, practices, and teachings, some of which I have been able continue to practice on my own to maintain my turning point. At the time I began working with Anne, I had suffered for about 7 years though multiple surgeries and overwhelming chronic pain that was destroying my health, my happiness, and my life. Her Clearing, Healing, and Blessing rituals and yoga practices have changed me profoundly. After the first week-long intensive series of classes, about 65% of what I thought was “chronic” pain that I’d thought I’d never be free of was released. Over time, I have found that I’m able to handle challenging situations with grace and ease, as I engage in the flow of life from the perspective of my higher self. Working with her over the past three years, I have completely reformed my thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. I have been able to release tension and heavy energy from all layers of my being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Although my work with her has been in one-on-one sessions over the years, I have also had the chance to take a few large group classes with her at The Esalen Institute. There I found the group classes were actually not much different as she has a way of holding space for all of us in a very effective, intimate way. I cannot thank her enough for all she has taught me and the healing that I have received, and I continue to work with her weekly to this day.
