Dear Anna,
My heart is full of gratitude for the work that we have done together during the 60 day 1-1 coaching program. Having experienced more than a year of ‘dark night of the soul’,  a sort of existential crisis causing low mood and anxiety, I now feel renewed, refreshed, uplifted and also better equipped to manage future challenges that arise. I feel as though, with your help, I have come home to myself, reconnecting to innate inner resources and to the wonder of life.

I have found you to be exceptionally articulate, perceptive, wise and gentle in your approach and combining these qualities with clarity and humour.  Gradually I was able to trust you more and go deeper in exploring past traumas and be guided into experiences of blessing and release that I think have been quite transformative. I love the fact that your work is science and evidence based yet also integrative, incorporating the best of psychology, neuroscience, hypnotherapy, spirituality and other modalities.

Thank you again for this healing and transformative work which I know will continue to ripple on through my life.

After working with you – in that one powerful session – I truly believe that a whole load of awful baggage pissed off. AND — I don’t know if I told you this — my eyesight started massively improving. Not that I can go without glasses or contact lenses if I wanted to drive — but a huge leap in my vision after year on year deterioration by 0.25 in my vision in both eyes since 2010. By April 2023, my prescription had zipped back to the 2010 level, leaving the optometrist totally baffled. When he said that my eyesight had massively improved I responded by saying ‘don’t our retinas harden with age which can lead to improvements in vision’ but the optometrist said that while that can happen, that ‘that’s definitely not at play here; the scans on your eyes show a massive improvement in vascular health etc.’  I attribute a lot of how I now feel, body and spirit, and being able to move forward with joy, down to … YOU

Working with Anna has been amazing. I reached out to her to support my Long Covid recovery, and Anna has been nothing but supportive, kind, warm and generous. Her vast knowledge and experience have been a great resource, and her blend of various techniques and approaches helped me to better understand myself and challenge and change my patterns. Anna has been invaluable in shifting my perception and perspective about so many things in my life! Knowing that she was always ready to support any questions or issues that came up in between the scheduled Zoom sessions felt like the most comforting of safety blankets. Anna is not only a great coach and mentor, she’s also a really cool and fun person and I highly recommend working with her.

Anna is incredible in what she does. She both educates on a scientific level and inspires on a spiritual level. She is encyclopaedic in her knowledge and skills. Since I’ve been working with her, I have made tremendous progress for my chronic fatigue as well as anxiety and depression. The work is still ongoing, of course, but she has taught me tools that will carry me through the rest of my life, and I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for personalized one on one coaching as well as someone who can inspire in terms of her own journey to wellness. If I had to rank her greatest attribute, I would say it is her compassion and understanding. I can tell she really does care about her clients deeply.

My life has transformed since working with Anna! Before starting our sessions, I was in desperate need for some sort of change and 8 sessions with Anna later, I’ve found that change. I’ve found me and I’ve found freedom from the things that used to keep me mentally imprisoned. I appreciated how knowledgeable and experienced Anna was when it came to working with me. I will always recommend Anna to anyone in need of a solution to the barriers that hold them back from experiencing life to the fullest. I am forever grateful and amazed with the outcome I received!

JH

For anyone going through a Kundalini / spiritual awakening Anna’s combination of talking therapy and energetic work is both very intuitive and insightful. As someone who has been in the process of integrating this experience on their own for many years, Anna brought layer of objectivity and wisdom that was refreshing and helpful, and very useful in navigating some stubborn psychological and energetic blocks’

SP

I am so pleased that I followed up on my friend’s suggestion that I meet with Anna for a few sessions. I have done a fair bit of therapy over the years but always reached the point of feeling stuck and paralysed, knowing in my mind that I wanted to move forwards but feeling that something inside wanted to sabotage that. I had a strong sense that what needed to shift in me wasn’t going to do so just through talking. Every one of the five sessions I had with Anna were different, fun and fascinating. She works very intuitively, with kindness, warmth, strength, humour and directness. I really valued working with someone so aware of what was happening in me energetically as I have not worked before with anyone who has such a good understanding of the Kundalini process. I feel that through these few sessions I have moved into a new space and I am relating to those around me differently. I am feeling more aligned and in tune with the things that matter to me and life is feeling less effortful. I can’t recommend Anna highly enough and feel really grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to work with her.

JA

Anna is one of the most impressive people I have ever had the honour of meeting. I have many years of therapy experience behind me and I can say that I have never felt so deeply seen in my whole being by anyone as I have by Anna. I have come out of every session energised and blessed. Anna holds space beautifully and her warm, loving voice has touched my soul so lovingly that I feel very safe with her. During our work together, I have not only been on my healing journey from CFS, but also have been on my Kundalini awakening process. I had never heard of it before, and Anna’s knowledge of Kundalini energy was incredibly helpful to me. She has been a wonderful guide throughout the process, and I am so grateful to have had the knowledge and wonderful experiences through her. I can only warmly recommend everyone to work with Anna. In the 8 sessions with her, I have moved and experienced more in myself than in 9 years of therapy. Thank you Anna! I am incredibly grateful for this journey to myself and I can’t thank you enough for your support.

M.O

After nine years with CFS/ME, I felt the need for a reset and charting a way forward. Anna proved to be an empathetic and skilled companion in this journey, guiding me to embrace acceptance and surrender to my condition while providing essential tools for health optimization; for allowing flow of emotions rather than resistance/denial and to be more present in and attuned to the body. Since the first session together we co-created a healing space that allowed me to process a long-standing issue that I had not been able to acknowledge till now. At the end of our cycle of one-on-one sessions I felt much clearer on how to best manage my condition, empowered, hopeful, and feeling less alone in dealing with a complex fatigue condition’

GB

Anna was always very understanding, caring, and supportive. I always felt like she had my back, and she was great at pointing out my progress, especially when I wasn’t feeling positive. And she’s funny and enjoyable to talk to, which made working with her a pleasure!

Anna taught me a number of powerful tools, which were much more effective than anything I’d learned in other healing/brain training programs. Many of these tools had an immediate positive impact and helped me dramatically improve the challenges I was working on.

I had several significant breakthroughs while working with Anna, and I feel much better equipped to handle the challenges of healing from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Her tools are not just helpful for CFS recovery—they’re also powerful for life in general. I would highly recommend her to anyone recovering from CFS/ME or similar conditions.

Anna is a fantastic coach and hypnotherapist. Our sessions have enabled me to understand and address issues that have impacted on my healing. I have learnt new tools and skills which have become a part of my everyday practice and are a lasting legacy of the deep work that each session generated.

I chose to work with Anna because of her insight and understanding of fatigue-based conditions and her skills and knowledge of hypnotherapy. She brought all this to our sessions along with her humour, joy and love of life. I found her organic approach to the sessions enabled me to work on both current and long-standing issues helping me lighten my load and move along my healing path’.

MS

I met Anna both in person and virtually online for sessions. She’s very professional, warm and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped me become equipped with a few techniques to aid bringing pressure levels down by a few notches and help get a breather from a turbulent period. Her passion and dedication to the well-being of others shines through and makes meeting her each time a joy.

DM

I have been working with Anna to help me move forwards with Long Covid and anxiety and I can highly recommend it. Anna is an extremely skilled practitioner. She has a huge range of tools and techniques to help and very intuitively picks the right ones for your particular needs. Her depth of understanding of fatigue conditions and anxiety is huge and she brings so much wisdom and empathy to the sessions. I’ve seen many practitioners for my anxiety issues from CBT to psychotherapy, and NLP. Anna is the first person that’s helped me to reach the root cause of my anxiety which has been a hugely helpful step forwards. The benefits aren’t only within the sessions themselves as Anna teaches you techniques that you can use by yourself, and in this way I’ve been able to continue my progress once the sessions finished. I experienced shifts in both my physical health and my anxiety levels whilst working with Anna, which have continued to move in a positive direction since.

I started working with Anna in autumn last year, initially just for a few sessions to help me with joint pain, which was disturbing my sleep, having never tried hypnotherapy before. After just one session, my pain flare up ended, and I slept like a baby. I was amazed at having this kind of unexpected result and knew I wanted to keep working with her.
Since then, I have worked with her on and off on a variety of issues which have come up as I recover from chronic illness — ranging from physical symptoms, limiting beliefs, my vision for my life and future as well as feeling safety in the body. I have seen such powerful shifts, especially in my self-belief and self-confidence, which have felt effortless and have perdured over time. In fact, they have been instrumental in me having enough confidence to make some very large but necessary changes in my personal life and I am certain that I would have struggled to make these decisions without Anna’s support.

Anna’s particular talent in my opinion lies in her unique ability to distil exactly what is going for you/what particular area needs attention at any given time. She is exceptionally talented at utilising different hypnotic techniques at the right time — but will always make sure that you are in the driving seat and that any changes that arise are the result of your own inner workings. She simply allows you to access your own innate wisdom. Beyond that, she is extremely warm, kind and intelligent and is able to offer useful suggestions for supportive tools and resources outside of hypnotherapy, which I have found to be very helpful.

It will come as no surprise that I think Anna is a gem and I have personally recommended her to multiple friends who have gone on to work with her and have had similarly excellent experiences. She is able to work with such a wide range of issues that I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in exploring hypnotherapy.

Working with Anna is always such a joy. Her intelligence, intuition and child-like joy are so uplifting and encouraging that everything goes from complicated to simple in a matter of minutes. She communicates powerfully and with such positivity with the unconscious mind that shifts happen with ease. Mindscaping was a particularly memorable experience: short and simple yet so very powerful and meaningful! It was like exploring the wonderland of my mind and it allowed me to tangibly reconnect with a lost part of myself. Reconnecting with it created a serious shift in my being and body — I suddenly experienced a new sense of completeness and strength that had always been amiss and it has been with me ever since. Truly grateful!

NSD

Anna is incredible to work with! She is so intelligent, kind, attentive and genuine. I felt immediately comfortable working with her. She helped me understand some of the deeper key patterns that have been at play for me, and she used a multi-layered approach that pulled from her extensive knowledge and used different hypnotherapy techniques that supported the exact unique journey I was on. Every session working with Anna, I had ‘Aha’ moments, helpful takeaways and many powerful shifts began to unfold for me. I found a presence of clam and peace within myself. I discovered a deep inner powerful strength.

In doing Mindscaping, I was able to explore and redesign the inner landscapes of my unconscious mind, and in doing so, had a complete shift of no longer fearing the future. The shift happened so effortlessly and has continued to stick with me to this day. We did a session on releasing repressed emotions, and immediately after the session I felt so energised, happy and light. Another profound shift that I experienced is that my back pain that I had been struggling with for at least a year went away after addressing it in a session, and I have been pain-free for several months since. Working with Anna has been instrumental in my healing and life. I felt completely supported throughout the whole process and highly recommend working with Anna!

AW

Anna is one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and always makes me feel at ease. I always look forward to seeing her. I have already made some progress (in ME/CFS recovery) after only a couple of months, after not much joy with anything else. I can’t thank her or recommend her enough.

DJ

I got in contact with Anna to get some help with my anxiety. This kind of therapy was completely new to me and I was a little apprehensive at the beginning.  From the very first session, Anna made me feel at ease. She was very friendly, professional and empathetic. She has shown me some great tools that now allow me to deal with my anxiety. Thank you, Anna!

Ana

During the Covid years I suffered with everything I hadn’t taken care of over the preceding decade, from traumas to guilt, stress, chronic fatigue syndrome, Long Covid symptoms and above all, an overwhelming sense of grief.

I’d heard of hypnotherapy but had never given it a second thought until Anna introduced her Body-Mind-Spirit Summit on Facebook. I learned a lot by watching the many excellent practitioners interviewed by her, yet I knew from the start that Anna would be the person for me.

Hypnotherapy is a serious, and a delicate matter: addressing deep rooted traumas in one’s life and putting them to rest can be a tough ride. Trust is a pre-condition. My call was for a deep inner transformation and for that process I needed support.

I feel extremely lucky and grateful to have met Anna. To be guided by Anna was a blessing in every aspect. I trusted our process blindfolded as I felt in safe hands. Not only has Anna got exceptional perception and understanding, it comes with a good sense of humour as well.

Concerning my inner transformation, I will say there was movement: quite some shifts were and are going on — in the right direction. Most importantly, now there’s a cosy, safe lounge for the traumas to rest in peace.

What can I say about working with Anna?

Firstly, I felt compelled to reach out to Anna after watching her on a recorded chat with Raelan Agle and because I have ME/CFS and suffer with brain fog, I don’t recall the specifics of the conversation….just that I resonated with a lot of the ideas and language that Anna used throughout the conversation… I found myself saying ‘yes’, ‘yes’ and nodding my head a lot. (I also am a tree hugger Anna- not so secret tho’- I have been ‘caught’ many times hugging my favourite tree!)

But ultimately, there was something about safety, and connection. I felt safe just listening to Anna speak and wanted to make a connection with her, so I reached out and pretty soon we had a zoom meeting organised and were discussing how Anna could support me. I needed time to think about making the financial investment and Anna put the ball totally in my court and within a day or two I signed up.

The session topics were pretty organic, deep and powerful. I now have an array of resources (guided meditations, book suggestions) and practical tools to aid me in grounding, self-soothing and staying in the present, and I have trust in connection with myself, my unconscious, which I was not able to do before. I truly shifted some of my ‘stuff’, old patterns, (childhood issues, beliefs, values), I felt seen, I felt heard, I felt validated, I felt contained, I felt held, I felt safe. I knew that I could contact Anna at any time outside of our sessions through Voxer which added to these feelings. I have more energy than I have had in a long time — now that I recognise where I have been giving away my power.

Anna is down to earth, extremely knowledgeable, warm, funny, gentle, and not afraid to ‘go there’ with you! I highly recommend working with Anna.

I first knew of Anna through the Neurocalm summit – I was so interested to hear the depth and intelligence of her questions to those interviewed and it was a revelation to have a summit for those with fatigue that was paced and not overwhelming. I looked at Anna’s website then and was blown away by Anna’s artwork, (in which her text was embedded) – rich, complex abstract and symbolic – it spoke to me at a deep creative level – and this was aside from my conscious understanding of her words.

When I started with the 1-1 60 day coaching I had a long list of issues to be addressed – I felt despair – “we will never get through these” I thought. Yet, week by week, as I brought my issues, Anna always had the right hypnotic or neuroplasticity technique/tool at her fingertips to work with – it was a true evolving co-creation in which I felt total trust in Anna, her emotional intelligence and her skills. This sense continued as I did homework between sessions as Anna was available via Voxer to answer questions, helping me fine tune techniques and give emotional support to me if needed.

By about week 6 I realised we had worked through most of my list of issues and I had a sense that we were getting to a deeper core issue that I had less conscious awareness of – the real discomfort zone – and we did some profound work with this over the final few sessions.

During the entire time I felt totally held and supported and it was an amazing journey, I know I learned so much consciously and unconsciously. Anna was always patient, kind, generous, loving, knowledgeable and funny and held my vulnerability so tenderly.

Through having done the coaching sessions, I feel I now have a level of competence and trust in myself and an understanding of the varied tools and techniques Anna uses and so I have embarked on the one year Transformational Blueprint programme. Here I am diving deeper and further, learning more and yet even as a group programme it is still so individually held and supported. This is now proving to be another truly amazing journey.

For those looking to find greater mind-body harmony and to work with a coach who is exceptionally smart, kind, and caring, I would strongly recommend Anna Grear. She’s the real deal. She left a top professorial position at one of the leading UK universities to take forward her work in helping connect with the powerful healing intelligence in their own bodies that so many of us walk through life largely ignorant of.

Working with Anna has proved transformative for me. I came to her with insecurities/hang-ups that I’d clung to since childhood. I’d pretended those issues weren’t there, or buried so deeply that they’d have no operative effect, or passed them off as ‘ridiculous’. But all of that ‘stuff’ was there – and it was operative and toxic. These things affected everything – my work, my relationship with work, every aspect of my personal and family life, and my body.

I wanted to start building a new business and life – to enjoy a healthy relationship with work, to be a better wife, family member, friend, and person – and I wanted to have a better relationship with myself! I wanted to have a future that was full of promise and excitement – but I knew that I needed to be uninhibited by the mental baggage that had kept me treading water for so many years.

So I reached out to Anna. Initially, I was slightly embarrassed to even admit what some of my hang-ups were (they sounded so childish… [but at a guess, a lot of our hang-ups start feeding in at that point]) but Anna worked with me in a gentle, reassuring and non-judgemental way – and I believe has achieved clear and very significant results for me. I will always be so grateful to her.

Full disclosure: I should note that I had known Anna as a co-worker prior to the work that she does now – but for me, knowing her was very useful and a determining factor. I already knew what a kind and smart human being she was, and I trusted her 100%. So it was really easy for me to decide to work with Anna – I knew that whatever this amazing woman did that it would be driven by expertise, and would be grounded by her unwavering desire to help people – and in this case, me.

So that’s my post. Anna Grear is exceptional and I feel so very excited for all those that secure Anna’s help! And thank you, Anna Grear

– I have embarked upon 2024 with a level of excitement and delight that I did not even know I had in me!

Working with Anna has to have been the singular biggest and best learning experience I have ever had about myself. She has such a vast knowledge and personal experience of so many things, not just fatigue. Although fatigue was the reason for my initial contact I have come out with so much more than just how to better negotiate it. Anna empowers you to find within yourself what you need, whether that be equipping for your journey, or even finding out how and where to begin your journey! She has no judgement just pure acceptance of where you are at. It has been a wonderful journey of discovery and I have such a sense of hope and excitement for what lies ahead of me now!

I’ve been working with Anna for a few months to help with my recovery from chronic fatigue and support the brain retraining that I’m doing. I have learnt so much from my sessions with her and feel I have the tools not only to aid my recovery but to take forward into the rest of my life. Each session has been different and Anna works organically with whatever comes up. She has helped me deal with difficult past memories and has taught me lots of techniques to deal with anxiety. She is very insightful and there have been lots of ‘aha’ moments when I’ve felt things shift. When I’ve contacted her between sessions she has got back to me quickly to offer support. I feel that she has been really invested in my well-being and committed to supporting me.
