THE SITUATION
You’ve always been able to handle a lot.
But lately, something has changed.
Anxiety isn’t new for you. You’ve dealt with it for years. But somehow, you figured out how to push through. You went to work, took care of your family, traveled, made plans, did the things you wanted to do. Even when anxiety came along for the ride, you found a way to keep living your life. For a long time, that worked.
Until recently.
Where anxiety used to pay you a visit here and there—maybe even stick around for a season—lately, it feels like something you just can’t shake. It’s there when you wake up. It follows you into work. Into the car. Into bed at night.
And now, panic has entered the picture.
What used to be an occasional, terrifying experience is starting to pay you a visit more and more. And every time it happens, it leaves you wondering: Why is this happening to me? What if I have another panic attack? What if this gets worse?
So now you’re not just dealing with the anxiety and panic. You’re tip toeing around the possibility of having either one showing up. And the things you used to do to manage it—pushing through, staying busy, talking yourself down—aren’t cutting it anymore.
What once felt manageable is starting to feel unbearable.
And it’s starting to affect your life. You dread things you used to look forward to. You hesitate now before making plans because you don’t know how you’re going to feel. A trip you would have booked without blinking suddenly feels like too much to manage. Even going to the grocery store can feel like a whole ordeal on the wrong day.
Your world is getting a little smaller.
And the part that really sucks? Nobody around you realizes how bad it’s gotten because you’re still working, still parenting, still showing up, still getting shit done. But you know how much harder you’re working just to do things that used to feel normal.
And that’s scary. Because if this is what life feels like now... what does it look like a year from now?
You don’t want to find out how much more anxiety and panic can take from you before you do something about it. You want to feel like yourself again.
You want your life back.
Panic isn't the whole problem.
So stopping the panic can't be the only goal.
We look at the bigger picture: what your nervous system is predicting as extreme threat, what it's already carrying, and its capacity to hold the life you want to live.
The work is about changing the conditions that keep producing anxiety and panic, while building a nervous system that can support more of the life you want to live.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
Most anxiety and panic work ends too soon.
There are a lot of legitimately helpful approaches to anxiety and panic. I’ve studied many of them, and there’s real value in learning to work with sensations differently, challenge avoidance, and create new experiences around the things your nervous system has learned to fear.
The Expansion Method™ builds on that work, but widens the lens.
We don’t only look at what happens when anxiety or panic hits. We look at the conditions surrounding it: the predictions your nervous system is making, the threat it’s already carrying, and the capacity available to meet the demands of your life.
Then we work systematically across all three—so panic takes up less and less space while life takes up more.
THE METHODOLOGY
The Expansion Method™
The Expansion Method™ works like building blocks. We resource your nervous system before asking it to take on more. Each phase creates the foundation for the next.
STABILIZE
Build your personalized Defensive Protocol™ so you can confidently navigate anxiety, panic, and significant activation when it hits.
MANAGE + BUILD CAPACITY
Reduce what your nervous system is already carrying and strengthen the systems that influence how much capacity you have available.
REWIRE
With more capacity available, work directly with sensations, emotions, and old threat predictions—giving your nervous system new experiences to learn from.
INTEGRATE + EXPAND
Bring that new capacity into your actual life, progressively returning to the experiences anxiety and panic have made harder.
And we don’t make assumptions about what your nervous system needs. We assess in real time what your nervous system actually responds to.
We establish your baseline through your Nervous System Blueprint Assessment™, then experiment, assess, and gather evidence as we go—so your protocols are built around what your nervous system actually responds to,
not what should work in theory.
THE STRUCTURE
How the 12 weeks actually work
Inner Mastery Foundations™ is a guided 12-week experience, not a self-paced course you’re left to figure out alone.
A new learning module unlocks every other week, giving you time to practice what you’re learning, gather evidence from your own life, and integrate each building block before we layer on the next.
Alongside that, you’ll work with me live every week to personalize the process, troubleshoot what isn’t working, and adjust the work based on what your nervous system needs as you move through it.
You’re not trying to learn everything about the nervous system in 12 weeks. You’re learning how to work with your own.
REAL CHANGE
What this has looked like for others
People who came to this work already high-functioning, already successful, and quietly running on empty underneath it. Here’s what our work together has led to.
“Nothing came close to the lasting progress that I achieved working together with Anne.”
Daniel had reached a point where chronic anxiety was debilitating enough that he had to take medical leave. He’d already tried breathwork, acupuncture, hypnotherapy and other approaches, but said they only provided temporary relief.
Through the work, he learned to recognize his triggers before they escalated, proactively manage his anxiety, and gradually expand his capacity.
What become possible: Daniel was able to eventually return to work within months, and described experiencing "several seismic shifts in a positive direction."
“When I started working with Anne, I could barely leave my house. Through our work together, I rebuilt my nervous system and got my life back. Today, I’m off prescription medication, running my own company, and I’ve produced a documentary with some of the leading voices in longevity—giving purpose to everything I went through.”
Jonathan came to me after two psychotic breaks and a schizophrenia diagnosis following a plant medicine journey. He was unable to work, and we worked together over several months to progressively rebuild his foundation.
What became possible: Jonny is now the founder of The Longevity Network and producer of Beyond the Pill, now available on Amazon Prime Video.
“Working with Anne has been one of the most impactful investments I’ve made in myself. I don’t spiral or shut down like I used to. Even when things feel uncomfortable, I’m able to stay with myself, move through it, and not abandon myself in the process.”
Pamela is a resilience coach and single mom raising two adopted children, one with special needs. Despite years of personal growth work—and helping others navigate adversity herself—she still found herself spiraling or shutting down when the demands of life became too much.
What became possible: A calmer household. More patience and connection with her kids. And the capacity to move her business forward instead of getting pulled into the same cycles of overwhelm.
BOOK YOUR CALL HERE
A 45-minute conversation, one on one with me. We'll talk through what's actually been happening, what you've already tried, and whether Inner Mastery Foundation is genuinely the right next step for you. If it's not, I'll tell you that too.
WHY ME
I built this because I needed it myself.
By my early thirties, I’d built the career I spent my twenties chasing. I was leading communications for companies like Google, Yahoo, Oscar Health, and Coursera, advising executives through some of their highest-stakes moments. From the outside, it looked like I’d made it.
Inside, chronic anxiety had become a constant backdrop to my life. And increasingly, that anxiety was escalating into episodes of panic.
I relied on prescription stimulants to perform, anti-anxiety medication to quiet the activation running through my body, and sleeping medication just to get through the night. Every visit to my psychiatrist seemed to end with another conversation about medication.
And without really noticing it happening, I’d started organizing my life around what I thought I could handle.
I turned down speaking opportunities. I avoided gatherings where I didn’t know many people. My apartment became the place I felt safest. I was still working. Still functioning.
Still getting things done. But my world was getting smaller.
I remember praying one day, God, is this really the life You intended for me?
Deep down, I knew the answer was no.
I didn’t believe I was created to spend the rest of my life managing anxiety, avoiding panic, and making decisions based on what my nervous system could tolerate.
I wanted my life back.
So I went looking for a different way forward.
That search took me through breathwork, somatic therapy, and eventually deep into nervous system science and Neurosomatic Intelligence. For the first time, I began to understand what had been happening inside of me differently.
I stopped looking at anxiety and panic as isolated symptoms I needed to control and started looking at the whole system underneath them—what my nervous system was responding to, what was keeping me chronically activated, and what I needed to build so I could hold more of the life I wanted.
And as that changed, so did my life.
I left the corporate career I thought I was supposed to want and moved across the world to Bali, where I lived for three years. I traveled. I fell in love, got married, and became a mom to two boys in my forties. I built a business that allows me to share this work with clients all over the world. And I get to engage in my marriage and parenting with a level of groundedness, presence, and grace I simply didn’t have access to before.
Today, I’m off the prescription medications I once relied on. I no longer live with chronic anxiety or episodes of panic. And I no longer make my life smaller around what my nervous system can handle.
The work I developed along the way became the foundation for The Expansion Method™.
Getting free from anxiety and panic gave me my life back. But what became possible with that freedom was so much bigger. And life is only getting juicier!

THE OFFER
What's included
Twelve weeks, built around your specific nervous system, backed by a guarantee I actually stand behind.
12 weeks, working directly with me
Weekly 60 minute coaching sessions to personalize the work, troubleshoot what’s happening in real life, and adjust as we go.
The Expansion Method™ curriculum
A progressive 12-week process that builds one layer at a time—from stabilizing and managing your baseline to building capacity, rewiring old threat predictions, and expanding back into your life.
Your Nervous System Blueprint™ + personalized protocols
We’ll map your patterns, triggers, threat load, and capacity, then build your Defensive + Offensive Protocols™ around what your nervous system actually responds to.
Guided meditations + simulations
Practices to support regulation, interoception, and the deeper work of updating old threat predictions as you move through the process.
Weekly experiments + integration plans
Each week, you’ll leave with specific practices to apply to your actual life. Because this work should never just stay inside a coaching session or learning module.
THE GUARANTEE
I'm so confident in this process because I've seen what happens when people consistently apply it to their everyday lives. Meaningful nervous system change isn't about finding the perfect tool, it's about giving your nervous system repeated experiences of safety over time.
If you fully commit to the process and still don't experience meaningful progress, I'll continue working with you at no additional cost until you do.
All I ask is that you show up: complete the modules, make the coaching calls, and actually apply your protocols in real life. If you do that and it's not working, that's on the process, not on you, and I'll keep going with you until it does.
