I am struck that the forms Ann uses seem to be universal methods that take people into profound “flow states” which unblock negative imprints from the past as well as help persons tap deep creative potential. She works from the creative source within herself and is able to translate this creative inspiration into practical, ground-breaking, and elegant training and growth for everyone she teaches.
