Meet your local coordinator - Ana
Hola, Hello my name is Ana. I am half Colombian and half German. I am an Occupational Therapist with a keen interest in pain management. I am also a trained yoga and meditation teacher. I am a dog Mama to Jam, a 14 year old Whippet. I should also say that I am child free by choice. My husband and I love to travel, kayak and watch movies. I love nature, the beach and rainforest are my happy places. I am also not ashamed to say that I am obsessed with reality TV.
I was diagnosed in 2019 at age 36 with endo after almost two decades of symptoms and seeking answers from countless doctors and specialists. Learning about endo has helped me understand my body better. The endo warrior community has helped me find ways to manage symptoms and validate a lot of what I have experienced for so many years.
One of my favourite tools to use is somatic tracking.
