Anne began teaching community-oriented classes on herbs and herbalism in 2013. Since 2008 she has been learning from leading herbalists including Corinna Wood, Rosemary Gladstar, Phyllis Light, Margi Flint, Emily Ruff, and many others. She is currently studying with David Winston RH, AHG and will pursue a Registered Herbalist certification in 2021.

Anne Anderson is a graduate of Maryland University of Integrative Health with a degree in Applied Healing Arts, the philosophy of observing life within the Dance of the Five Elements and other world wisdom traditions. Anne uses this modality in her consultations to inform ways of living with more ease and less tension.

Anne has been a student of yoga since 2001. She finished a 200 hour Ashtanga Vinyasa training in Panama City, Florida, and completed a 300 hour training at Asheville Yoga Center specializing in adaptive populations including Trauma/PTSD, Elder, Pre & Postnatal, Children, Yin, Restorative, Meditation, Ayurveda, and more. Anne trained 50 hours in 2017 with Paulie Zink in Five Element and Yin Yoga and continues to update and expand her trainings.

In 2015 Anne began teaching 5 yoga classes/week at Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital to veterans, adults, and children. Before moving to Boise she taught at a Retirement Community and a Center for Adults with Developmental Disorders and Brain Injuries. Anne is currently pursuing a contract with the Women and Children's Alliance. She has volunteer taught yoga at Elder Care Respite Centers, Juvenile Detention Centers, and other locations for prenatal yoga, meditation, and relaxation based breathing groups.

After two years of trying to figure out how to live a truly sustainable lifestyle, Anne ran away from the circus and into an off the grid eco-village in 2008. There she studied edible and medicinal plants with Chuck Marsh of Useful Plants Nursery in Black Mountain, NC. This was also the year of her first Southeast Women's Herbal Conference and she drank the Kool-aid, hard. Since then she has been studying eastern healing modalities and western plants to create accessible, simple wellness solutions for friends, family, and now clients.

Her mission is to bring the abundance of resources we have in our local environment together to create strong, sustainable communities that will be available for future generations.
