Dress by Monique LhuIllier and Tom Ford.  Body AND Mind By Anna. 

This is Montana, getting ready for Oscar week–attending key parties like Vanity Fair. I wanted to feature her because she’s extremely dedicated to her health, fitness and self care and she’s a great role model for what’s possible, when you set your mind to something that is important to you, and accomplish it.  She makes it a point to make health her #1 priority because it’s one of her top values in life. Her secret to getting and staying healthy is she schedules her life around her daily workouts, health and self care routines…not the other way around.  As you can see, it shows!  Montana not only radiates elegance, strength and beauty on the outside…it’s WHO SHE IS ON THE INSIDE and I’m so proud of her.  

 

 

“Aw, thank you for being the best and most supportive trainer.  You are my life coach, and do a lot more than just train my body! You train my mind and spirit as well!”

Jann Stopped Running And Faced The Truth….

“I was an overweight runner, reliant on caffeine fixes to push me through the day and riding a roller coaster of energy and mood highs and lows. I needed help, and Akasha sent me Anna. I feel I am just at the beginning of a whole new life. Anna has given me the facts and the motivation that I needed to make the change.”

 

“In just two months I am already experiencing incredible benefits. I have finally given up the milk that kept my sinuses clogged and my chest wheezing, the changes to my diet that seemed like an impossible struggle, are becoming a delicious relief for mind and body, my weight and my cholesterol are down and my energy and mood are up.” 

 

“I don’t even want to think of the cost of not making these changes. I want to live a long, happy, healthy life. Working with Anna I feel I’m giving my mind and body their best possible shot. I’m in this for the long haul now.”

Edison de Mello, MD, PhD

“Anna’s passion for exercise and healthy lifestyle coaching is like no other.  She comes prepared, she delivers, she follows through – and she gets results. After having only 2 initial exercise sessions with her, I was so sold on her skills and determination that I invited her to spend time at The Akasha Center working with our staff and patients. Had she not been so busy with her growing private practice, I would have kept her at Akasha for many more months!”

Rebecca Lemke-Shneider

 

“Because of my work with coach Anna, I made several lifestyle and behavioral changes that have elevated my self love, self acceptance and self worth.  I’ve lost weight, I’m sleeping much better, and my relationship with my husband is flowing easily and is more loving.  Anna quickly helped me realize toxic, negative behaviors because the way she delivered her coaching made me feel safe and honored, hence, I easily heard and saw what my behavior was causing in my life.”

“Anna is a determined, innovative and skilled coach who can get results that many can’t.  She is truly the best trainer I have ever worked with, I found her attitude so enthusiastic and engaging.  I definitely would not have been able to set realistic goals for myself and implement them.  Anna helped me make the changes I wanted to make and supported me through the process.  She helped me to make really good decisions!  Anna helped me get to my perfect weight.  Even years later she still checks in with me and recently helped me through a difficult situation, not as a trainer or coach, but as a friend.”

 Michelle Liffman-Talbot

“Anna saved my life. She has been my personal trainer for 15 years and has helped me realized my full potential with my workouts, my nutrition, my mental health and well being that has allowed me to perform at the highest level in my career. She is phenomenal!!! I highly recommend her . She is a true gem.

Michelle Liffman-Talbot, SPHR, SHRM-SCP ~ Director of Talent Management at Paul Hastings LLP.  

 

Important side note: Michelle is an exceptional human being, who gives generously to EVERYONE in her life because she values her health and self-care.  She has learned to place strict boundaries around her care in order to perform at the highest level at work, at home and in her communities.  It wasn’t easy, but her dedication and commitment paid off 100-fold.  She quickly realized without an integrated health approach, she could not tap into her fullest potential and give back at the level she is meant to…and that meant more to her than the discomfort of changing her behaviors/habits.
