Testimonials
“Annette’s story is a gift for the collective because it expresses the commonality of the feminine voice—the creative, compassionate voice—that yearns to be brought into our world. So many of us are saddled with a crippling theology, and we need a new theology of honesty before God, oneself, our families, and society. This kind of refreshing theology of knowing we are loved unconditionally is in Annette’s story, and she gives us a model for living it. She has known and made peace with profound suffering in her life and carries a deep spiritual sensitivity because of her journey. Besides her wonderful human quality, she is gifted shamanically and has a rich sense of humor and a practical common-sense way of living. She is an embodied mystic, and her book shows us the path.”

"Working with Annette for the past year has altered my connection with spirit and the understanding I thought I had of my life's purpose. Annette has guided me in a new direction with a more open heart and mindful acceptance of my own limited beliefs and old habits of thinking. Through tarot, my natal chart reading, and examining the wisdom in my own dreams, she has guided me to see that so many of the struggles I face, are simply due to the old paradigm I am using to observe the gifts Spirit is offering. That my Soul's journey is always FOR me and therefore to learn to live in the moment of the experience as way to more totality of understanding. I've never felt so held and laughed at! She definitely keeps it light and the more I seem to feel lost, the more joy she shows me is hidden within the pain."

“The longing and yearning of a spiritual life is to be touched by God, and Annette is touched. Through the telling of her own healing and spiritual journey, she reminds us that the poverty of spiritual intimacy and loneliness of our times is a yearning for spiritual connection with each other and all creation. Her words remind us to follow a spiritual path and to embrace the invitations wherever they may lead us. In writing about where she was led, Annette shows how this is where the richness of soul, the path of service, and the very mystery of life unfold.”

"I first went to Annette during what I would consider the most turbulent time in my life. I had recently experienced a harsh end to a relationship and was in the middle of big career and geographical changes that many of my closest friends were advising me against. Over a few sessions with Annette, I experienced joy and thankfulness (which were not especially common feelings for me at that time), as well as some very personal and mystic moments that helped me come to terms with my own needs and desires and transformed my views of rationality and the spirit world. We discussed dreams, did tarot, and journeyed; each offered insights that helped orient me in a direction which has led me to a very positive place psychologically and emotionally in my life. I can't thank her enough for her help in getting me to where I am today."
