Meet Anna

Hi, I’m Anna, your trusted Relationship Coach. I’m passionate about helping people unlock their full potential in love and relationships. With a deep fascination for the art of connection, I coach individuals (and couples) on all aspects of love, dating, relationships, marriage, and building lasting chemistry. Whether it’s authentically marketing yourself online, creating magnetic moments in real life, or picking yourself up from a recent breakup or divorce, I bring a wealth of knowledge and robust advice to every coaching session. From intimacy and sex to fostering genuine desire and lasting connection, I’m here to guide you in mastering the skills that lead to meaningful, fulfilling relationships. No one is born knowing how to be successful in relationships, and it’s certainly not taught in school. Esther Perel famously says, “The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationships.” Let’s transform your love life together.

With an extensive career spanning 18 years in Recruitment and Admissions across various sectors including start-ups, nonprofits, government, investment banks, and higher education, I bring incredibly rich experience engaging with tens of thousands of individuals to my coaching practice. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with degrees in Psychology and Political Science, I have also worked as a Senior Admissions Counselor for The Wharton School at The University of Pennsylvania. My diverse background includes studying abroad in London through UNC’s Honors Program and a summer spent teaching children in a rural village in Uganda.

I’ve lived in 8 states (2 twice!): TN, NY, GA, VA, MA, PA, CA, and NC. I grew up primarily in Franklin, TN and NYC. I had my son in Philadelphia, PA, and my daughter in San Francisco, CA. I currently reside in Raleigh, NC.

Love, family, and travel rank as my top three passions in life. Despite having my first marriage end, I am an ardent believer both in love and marriage. Dating, relationships, love, marriage, sex, and intimacy are my favorite topics of conversation.

Three years ago, I found love again in Southern California, where I met my husband Mark (actually, our initial connection was on Instagram!). Despite the distance, we nurtured our relationship across coasts for 2.5 years, commuting back and forth every other week. We exchanged vows in front of our loved ones this October in the beautiful Santa Barbara wine country, and I am thrilled to embark on this new chapter of love and companionship while continuing to support men and women on their journey to love and partnership.

As my first marriage was unraveling, I grappled with the fear that happiness might elude me forever; that I wouldn't weather the storm. I was worried I would never meet someone I’d fall in love with and that dating would be impossible. I'm here to assure you that not only can you find happiness in dating and a rich relationship, but you have the potential to craft a life even more fulfilling than your wildest dreams. I'm committed to guiding and supporting you (and possibly your partner or spouse!) every step of the way. Let’s go.
