These are the tools I've been needing my entire life. 
— Steven, Client, Videographer
Coaching sessions with Anna are designed to support the combined aspects of self. These include the:
  1. Physical body
  2. Emotional body
  3. Mental/Mind Body
  4. Energy Body
  5. Environmental / Social / Contextual Body
Anna supports and co-creates unique routes of healing and integration blending arts, ritual, non-secular spirituality, and psychology. Each session becomes an emergent creation, taking shape like a sand mandala, offering transformation, integration, or rest.  In the end it all dissolves to flow you onward, shifted just so to support you on the way. 

Sessions begin in stillness, with a gentle grounding meditation. From there we open to shares and use the tools available to us to ...
Areas of support include:
  • Foundational Relationship Health
  • Creating Conscious Relationship
  • Conscious Creation Practices
  • Healthy Boundaries & Proximity
  • Anxiety
  • Anger
  • Avoidance
  • Depression
  • Identifying & Healing from Abuse
$150 / 60 minute sessions. 
Available in person in Charlottesville VA or remotely via zoom. 
Contact to schedule. 
You do not need to identify as an artist to benefit from session work. 


​We'll use both practical and artistic approaches to:​
  • Get a big-picture view of the dynamics of your current personal world. 
  • Cultivate compassion and awareness.
  • Integrate Feminine & Masculine aspects of your Self.
  • Strengthen relationships with self and others using intention, ease and joy.
  • Expand your intuitive awareness. 
  • Track  and visually map your patterns to transform what you are ready to shift. 
  • Use image, movement and sound to safely meet and move through what arises. 
​Sessions may include: 
  • Transformative & Therapeutic Arts 
    Image making, sound, and/or somatic movement/awareness to
    1) explore your internal emotional, and mental occurring world, and your relationship to yourself and your outer world, and created world. 
    2) claim your agency to create the changes and enhancement you want to experience. 

  • Identifying your relational patterns
    Using the Right Relationship Cards to assist in identifying dynamics present in your relationships. We also use the cards to assist in charting opportunities to transform challenges into strength and/or grace.​ You will have practices to continue working with after the session. 

    Dynamic diagnosis is just that, dynamic. The behavioral patterns we exhibit can sustain, grow, transform, and evolve. This can happen consciously (with presence, intention and awareness) or subconsciously (reactive, on autopilot, without our intentional participation). Relational Diagnostics is a way of observing and tracking your current relational patterns, with the understanding that they can change.  By identifying your presenting dynamics, you can then make intentional adjustments to create the kinds of experiences you prefer to have with yourself and others.

  • Creative Empowerment
    ​Want to live as art? This is for you if you're pursuing goals and creations of any type! In these sessions we'll work my original Creative Cycle & Spiral Method to turn your life into a living creation and workshop.  You'll use the Spiral to examine your mental, emotional and relational dynamics as you navigate different creative processes. You'll learn to map areas of flow and blockage while clearing the routes toward successful creation (the way we do one thing is the way we do everything).
Anna taught me that my feminine aspect is about pace and sensitivity and being in a sensory experience in the moment.  This expansion shows up now on the canvas, it shows up in my life, it shows up in my ability to be with my fears, and in my ability to be in the unknown.

   I would recommend Anna’s keen eye to anyone who wants to release a project that comes from their heart. She’ll help you get there.
​    Anna helped me with the editing process of my picture book, and her insight was invaluable. She took the time to get to know my book project as a whole and offered elegant design and grammar edits. But her editing didn’t stop there, she reflected back to me the areas that my book wasn’t cohesive and helped me craft a better, more meaningful product that I am excited to release.

If you are feeling the urge for an artistic push, I would highly recommend receiving creative coaching with Anna Fox. I started sessions with her when I was feeling stagnant in my creativity.  When I first started my sessions I didn’t want to even stand up from my chair. Movement no longer inspired me. Anna helped me through a very transitional time in my life. She helped me shed judgements I had been placing on myself that were blocking me from being fully engaged with what I was creating. What I thought was going to be a very hard transition to make in my life ended up being a very beautiful and heartfelt transition into a new creative process.

In the year following our work, Sandra Founded & became Artistic Director of Home With Movement Dance Company
