becoming Whole Again
Ann uses music as a vehicle to help people become whole again - no matter where they start. And when I hear her play, I feel the calling of my own wholeness speaking to me in my heart.

Grounded Spirituality
Ann's ability to intuitively grasp the tone of an event and to richly express its purpose through resource materials and ritual make her a valuable partner in planning and coordinating spiritual events and retreats. Well organized and attentive to every detail, she's also creative and spontaneous, attuned to the teachable moment and the potential for transformation in real time. Her musicality and grounded spirituality are gifts that enhance gatherings, bringing even the most reluctant participants into the circle.
Joy in the Moment
Music teacher Ann has created a space for both my teenagers to come and play music with no expectations other than experienceing joy in the moment.
