Annie discovered RIM in 2014. She recognized RIM as a safe place where she and others are able to pursue genuine personal growth and spiritual emergence together. Her dedication to mindfulness and her compassionate desire to help others led her to become a vital part of the RIM community.

Additionally, Annie has a professional counseling practice where she has the opportunity to support those encountering chronic conditions of body, heart, and mind. Annie shares mindfulness in a way that focuses on cultivating present moment awareness — using curiosity and self-empowerment rather than judgment and doubt.

Annie's past experiences and enthusiasm for helping others have inspired her not only to continue her own learning but to teach others in an open, safe environment. She focuses on deepening compassion and wisdom, something she believes will benefit the world as a whole.
