About Ana

Over the past twenty-five years, I have been fascinated by the roots of conflict, on both personal and international levels, and the path to peace.

In the early 80’s, I learned about the power of the breath to heal and expand consciousness. In 1982, after a lot of personal experimentation and training, I became a breath worker. I call my unique style of breath work Breath of Life.

After taking some time to have a family and raise my two children, I went back to school. My academic training is in Peace Studies (BA, Union Institute) and Dispute Resolution (MA, Pepperdine Law School). I studied the question of why human beings argue, why we so often resort to violence, and what we can do to create peace – internally and externally.

In 1996, I opened Mount Shasta Mediation Services, offering an alternative to litigation. Click here for more information about Mediation Services . Not long after that, I began offering Communication Skills classes in order to expand my clients’ peacemaking abilities. See the Client List below.

In the late 90’s, I discovered the work of Colin Tipping and Radical Forgiveness. I attended several workshops and underwent extensive training with Colin to become a certified Radical Forgiveness coach. I found that Radical Forgiveness was the perfect complement to mediation and communication skills. I’ve also completed domestic violence counselor training and 12 step work.

Over the years, I’ve developed my own style, processes and teachings, including taking inspiration from A Course in Miracles. Along with the healing power of the breath, forgiveness is an essential component in creating true peace in our world.

As a mediator and peace educator, I have worked with individuals and couples, for county government (Family Court Services), with prison inmates and at-risk families, with non-profit organizations, businesses and schools.

While working with over a thousand people in the area of peace education, I developed my own style and teachings. Everything I do with my clients is geared toward greater self-knowledge, release of fear and pain, and deepening of intuitive wisdom. I include lots of inspiration from A Course in Miracles and experiential understanding of the proper use of breathing in healing. This work involves the whole person – body, heart, mind and soul.

I am passionate about what I do, and I’m in love with the freedom that comes from combining honesty, radical forgiveness, breath and stillness. The journey is spiritual, but not religious.  It will move you into a whole new way of experiencing your life – and bring you to  true inner peace and a feeling of joy that feels natural and whole.

My dynamic mix of services includes work with individuals, couples, government agencies, non-profits, prison inmates at San Quentin Prison, schools and businesses. Our common ground is the way we walk on our clear path to peace.

Find your freedom with forgiveness.
