Hi, my name is Natasha Annis and I bring over 20 years of professional experience in the public and private sectors. My passion is to help people and organizations enhance their knowledge, performance, and effectiveness by building healthy and resilient workplaces where a wide range of people can thrive.  

Because of my diverse professional training I bring a breadth and depth of knowledge to the work, using science-based interventions and an integrated framework. I began my career with a focus in health psychology where I trained in the use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and positive psychology interventions to help those struggling with eating disorders, body-image issues, chronic pain, and stress-related medical conditions. Over the years I've built on these specialties, earning additional certifications as a strength-based leadership coach, a certified Corporate Athlete trainer, and a registered yoga teacher. In addition to working with individual clients and teams, I frequently facilitate workshops on topics such as effective, inclusive, and resilient leadership; energy management, peak performance, and stress recovery; and building self-awareness and emotional intelligence through personality assessment feedback and mindfulness practices.

Currently I spend my professional time working with and for national security agencies and local law enforcement, as well as private sector orgnizations and clients via  the Wellness Studio, delivering a unique blend of coaching, mindfulness, and/or yoga interventions depending on clients' individual needs.
