Testimonials

If you want to activate your most authentic, truest, deepest, highest self then contact Anne NOW. Before working with Anne, I knew I had more to give but I didn’t have the clarity nor confidence to move forward. I could feel the vast potential inside of me but needed more support to get clear on a vision of who I wanted to become. Immediately after beginning my work with Anne, I felt a level of clarity on my purpose, vision, values, and message that I could have never imagined. I felt I knew exactly who I wanted to become and Anne helped clarify the exact steps I needed to follow for me to live in alignment with my vision and create it. In a period of 3 months working with Anne, my life completely transformed and it now resembles direct alignment to the vision Anne helped me create when we started. I remember waking up one day about 2 months into our coaching and realizing how much my life was moving in the direction of who I wanted to become. It was working!! My efforts were being reflected in my life and it was an unforgettable moment of recognizing my true power and what it meant to live in alignment with who I truly am. Anne has an impressive array of life experiences and knowledge that allows her to be of the utmost service to her clients. She walks her talk and lives what she teaches. Her humility and commitment to excellence across all facets of life show in her own life and it’s what attracted me to her as a coach. Her model for activating our highest potential resembles exactly what has led her to her own flourishing and it has also worked wonders for me and countless others. Work with Anne and I promise you’ll quickly be on your way to activating and living your soul’s greatest expression.

Coaching with Anne has been priceless. She‘s helped me come from adrenalized fear into calm presence in moments where I’ve truly been at the end of my rope, helping me make mature choices that have created more conscious relationships personally and professionally. I feel more stable, motivated and connected to my truth now moving forward.

I cannot recommend Anne’s True Self Mastery Program highly enough.

I feel blessed and privileged to have experienced the True Self Mastery Program. So few of us ever get the chance to connect properly with our true selves and our true purpose, and yet nothing else is more important. If we really knew why we were here, it would make a massive difference to how we live our lives.

For me connecting with my true purpose, values, message and vision has been of paramount importance. Before attending the program I was facing major challenges in the most important areas of my life, both personally and professionally. By the end of the program I had clarity on these difficult challenges and a clear way forward. There was a simple reason for this. I had found my bearings. I had found my True Self.

Anne does amazing work. I am incredibly grateful to her for the gift of helping me to find and connect properly with my True Self. I work in the environmental sphere and am committed to doing everything I can to tackle climate change. Anne helped me to understand that it was only through healing myself that I would be able to play my part in healing our most precious planet.

The True Self Mastery Program is life changing. For me it has been quite literally the most important experience of my life.

I’ve worked with Anne on and off over the years as a coach and she’s helped me through some rough patches in my life. This past March would be the roughest of them all when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I initially hired her to help me with my business but our path together meandered into something so much greater. Anne held my hand, lit a fire under me, was my biggest cheerleader and challenged me to be the “CEO of my own life” which is something I will take forward with me wherever I go. Our time together was important for my business, my health and most importantly my life going forward. I would not just highly recommend working with Anne, I would implore you that your money spent with her will be the most important of your life. In just a few months months you’ll see a huge difference in whatever it is you set out to do.

To work with Anne is to work with an absolute PRO. She is everything I could want in a coach: a wise sage, a sincere cheerleader, and a kind intuitive. We made amazing progress over the time we worked together, and much of it had a base in Intention. In the beginning stages, we created a Vision for me, and Anne encouraged me to engage in a 21 day practice of reading my vision aloud. She helped me create a simple gratitude practice, and we examined my bodily practices to see how they could help me realize my career goals. All of this created a strong and conscious base from which I could operate. And from there the work began… Honestly, there was so much information flowing from Anne’s font of wisdom during our sessions, I was inspired to take copious notes (or risk losing some very valuable nuggets of information!) Yet as I went on this journey of creating detailed and very specific, mentally-focused notes, I knew that part of the benefit of working with Anne was just in being in her field. I felt very strongly that through osmosis, I would pick up some of her energetic frequency, which was infused by a lot of genuine confidence and love for her fellow humans. I definitely felt loved by Anne, no question about that. And that in turn helped me lose some of the shame I carried around with me around not having yet reached my career goals. I was held in unquestioning positive regard for the entirety of our working relationship. Some of the things I will carry forward from my work with Anne were quite basic, yet game-changing : she helped me organize my time into blocks that I could work with and understand. We made master lists of things I hoped to accomplish within specific projects. Through this, I began to create new neural pathways. “I want you to become a vibrational match for the thing that you’re going to create,” she advised. I was able to get over the embarrassment of needing to ask for help, because one of the people I was asking for help was my future self, who had already created this creation. It was quite beautiful to come to realizations such as these – it calmed me and gave me confidence in myself. Anne was always encouraging me to check in with my purpose, my values, and my mission when I was creating my work; in doing so, I’ve become more in touch with myself and I feel like I can better stand behind the work I create. I have more inner congruence than I used to. Within the safe container that Anne established, I was able to blossom and create, and in doing so, begin to contribute to a legacy of work that I hope to leave behind. I really do feel that Anne is gifted in what she does. She is overflowing in generosity. It’s a joy to know her and I feel so lucky that I’ve been able to experience her work.

Before working with Anne in the True Self Mastery Program, the challenges I was facing were not feeling loved and worthy, being worried and afraid, and not being confident and trusting my connection with my True Self.
The breakthroughs, wins and results I got are: I have a daily routine that boosts my self-love and helps me set my vision each day, I learned to accept all feelings that I have and to love myself just the way I am, I learned I am in charge of my thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions and non actions. I can change the trajectory of my life by choosing for myself what direction I want to go, what I want to feel, think and do. I learned so many different techniques to help me with self reflection, self knowing, self trust, self love and self action.
I would recommend this program because Anne has such a warm, wise and supportive way of helping me see and understand and love myself more fully. Her approach is very doable, and meeting once a week with my cohort was very supportive and I learned a lot from my fellow participants when they were being coached with their questions.
Anne is a fountain of positive wisdom and energy and I always feel loved and supported by her.

Before working with Anne, I endured debilitating panic attacks, chronic migraines, and cancer, leading to a miserable existence. Working with Anne completely transformed my life. I am now living in alignment with my heart, life purpose, and values, experiencing unprecedented happiness and health. The effective platform of receiving coaching and being part of Anne’s group containers has been instrumental in manifesting significant change in my life. Together, we envisioned individual goals, shared in a collective energy of accountability and support, and addressed internal blocks hindering us from our greatest dreams. I was amazed by the transformative process and the power of this motivating group led by Anne and working with her one-on-one.

Working with Anne was exactly what I needed! I feel amazing, having released both physically and emotionally. The layers of emotions shed were profoundly healing, and Anne provided incredible tools and support. Her infectious spirit and kindness create a supportive environment for embodying one’s highest, best, and authentic self. I highly recommend Anne for those seeking a complete spiritual, emotional, and physical transformation. The space and energy she cultivates in group sessions are truly inspiring, offering a powerful opportunity to devote oneself to purpose and vision. I am now a completely different person, living in a new and empowered way, having truly manifested my visions. The experience was empowering, conscious, and sacred. Thank you, Anne, for so much love and profound change!

Anne is a brilliant coach and teacher. She offers her students a level of vulnerability and courage that all can learn from. I am very grateful to have participated in her groups where I can honestly say I charted a beautiful new course for my life and my way of living. I deepened in many new friendships with like-minded conscious people, got in touch with my scattered dreams, brought them into focus and made them a reality. Thank you, Anne!

I wasn’t truly walking my talk. I was inconsistent and I felt scattered. Working with Anne helped me to create a foundation of self-care and self-love practices that connected me directly with my truth and authenticity. I feel more empowered as a teacher and leader, grounded and nurturing in my relationships, and more aligned with my truth.

I personally used this program for my entrepreneurial pursuit and I can’t believe how far I’ve come, how hard I’ve worked, and how much change has accumulated at the end of this group program through the build up of little changes, to do lists, and check ins to keep me going. And it really is the once a week grounding sessions spent with the group that foster the self-love, connection and self-care that allowed me to carry myself through. I can now fully claim my purpose and passion.


Anne is a very gifted and knowledgeable coach and teacher who embodies living authentically by tuning into and getting clear about how to create small shifts that lead to big changes. She is able to effectively communicate and share her powerful tools for living high vibrational lifestyle in all areas of your life. I will definitely continue to apply these gifts with myself and with my students and clients.

After a departure from over two decades in the corporate world in a high stress, executive role, Anne’s voice, process, and method to help me discover my true purpose, values, message and vision were exactly what my soul and my heart needed to find the next page in my chapter of life. Esalen was pure magic, but really, I would study with Anne in a stinky abandoned alley. Her authenticity, ability to connect with her students, and truly embody her passion for finding your truest, deepest, highest self is unparalleled. I can’t wait to take the next step in Anne’s True Self Mastery journey, and hope you start the journey!

Anne was truly transformative in my life during her Authentic Alignment workshop at the Esalen Institute. Her guidance helped me gain a newfound focus on my life’s purpose, vision, goals, and my mission to improve the lives, health, and longevity of others.

Thanks to Anne’s expertise, I now begin each day with a positive manifesto, infusing good energy into my day and my future. This shift towards positivity has already made a significant impact on my life, and I’m excited about the journey ahead. I envision a future that’s even more beautiful, successful, and productive for myself, my family, friends, patients, and all those I come into contact with.

Anne’s work is nothing short of magical. She possesses a unique gift for helping others while leaving a positive mark on the world. I wholeheartedly recommend attending her workshop or utilizing her services to anyone seeking positive transformation and a brighter future.

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.
