25/100 Anna Wood: Climbing the tallest trees
Listen now
Description
You will feel nothing but energy. This was Anna's nomination:  She picnics at the top of the tallest trees a person can find, she rock climbs with her dog slung around her shoulders. Movement is like breathing to Anna and she is a fearless adventurer. The best part, she takes people along with her, always teaching, encouraging and believing in them. Anna is a woman of influence because she stops to look people dead in the eye and say, 'but how are YOU?' She sees into people in a way most don't and then invites them into her world to access whatever it is they might need. A chat, community, a yoga class, an art session, a laugh, a hula hoop or fire twirling lesson, you name it. Anna has time for people and she has compassion for people. She's seen all sorts of things in life, but she doesn't discriminate between someone being upset over a spilled coffee or a significant trauma. Anna's personal philosophy is inclusion. So when she had a knee replacement recently and had to stop all movement, she thought that'd possibly break her. But in true Anna style, life has only improved since. achievements: received multiple scholarships and worked part time to support herself through school as a teenager managed to get into a uni course underage because she proved she can go above and beyond, and then she aced it a kinship carer as a teenager / young adult art therapist play therapist works with children and teenagers in multiple capacities who have experienced significant trauma  yoga teacher breath work facilitator workshops, retreats, camps, groups, one on ones Follow Anna:  https://www.facebook.com/BrisbaneBreathCollective/ https://www.instagram.com/the_breathcollective/ Welcome to The Women of Influence Podcast 100 Women in 100 Days.
