Anna Leis
Anna Leis, RYT-500, NATP, discovered the transformative power of the body through her own healing journey. As a foster and adoptive parent, she witnessed how deeply trauma can live in the body and she became passionate about somatic exercises and practices that help us process what words alone cannot always reach. This personal experience sparked her commitment to helping others find healing through embodiment.
On her journey toward wholeness, Anna dove into the study of yoga, breathwork, and the importance of interoception. She began to understand the body on a much deeper level and the bracing patterns that can keep us locked in fight or flight. She discovered what modern neuroscience now confirms: the body holds profound wisdom and is a powerful gateway to healing.
Education and Experience
Anna trained as an RYT-500 Yoga Teacher, NeuroAffective Touch Practitioner, and Integrative Trauma Practitioner with an informed background in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She understands how chronic stress affects our entire system and is passionate about helping others restore balance to body systems that have forgotten how to feel safe and regulated.
Drawing from over a decade of personal and professional experience, Anna’s work bridges evidence-based somatic exercises with intuitive, heart-centered guidance. Through one-on-one intuitive coaching, somatic workshops, yoga, and somatic bodywork, she creates safe spaces where clients can release chronic stress, deepen self-trust, and experience sustainable transformation.
Anna’s mission is to restore connection within ourselves, our families, and our communities by empowering each individual to remember that healing is not found in fixing the body, but in listening to it. She believes in helping people reclaim agency, embodiment, and belonging through the wisdom of somatic exercises and practices.
