About Anna Brozek
My body learned what my mind had been telling me for years: there is a better way.
On paper, I had it all. In my body, I was falling apart.
I used to be the CEO of a successful software company. I was good at it, and I was running on stress, perfectionism, and decades of emotion I'd never processed. After health scares I could no longer ignore, I left my career to focus on healing.
That's when I found what Western medicine and talk therapy had been missing for me. My nervous system's default was set to high alert. I could understand all of it intellectually, and none of that changed how my body felt. I needed to work with it somatically.
I got there slowly, through trial and error and wandering down a lot of paths. I learned what my nervous system needed and how to give it that. Now I help women do the same, so you don't have to wander the way I did.
Your healing has a radius.
No one teaches us that our nervous system sets the tone for everyone around us. When we're running on empty and reactive, the people we love match that energy. When we finally settle, they can settle too.
I had to piece this together for myself and my own family. It's why I focus on women, and especially moms: when a woman becomes more regulated, her partner, her kids, her students, and her coworkers feel it. Her healing becomes theirs too.
Quiet, intuitive, and rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine
My sessions blend Zen Shiatsu and Reiki, guided by an Eastern medicine intake and Five Element theory. I listen closely, both to what you tell me and to what your body shows me. Sessions are mostly quiet, and you're always in control.
What I care about most is that you leave understanding yourself better, with simple ways to care for yourself on your own. The goal isn't to need me forever. It's to help you come back to center, again and again, by yourself.
