Who am I?
I have a fascination for transformation. Life has always challenged me to dive deeper within myself. Allow me to share how I got here.
A little story about me...
Hey there, and welcome to my little corner of the digital universe! I’m really happy you found your way here. I’m Anne—lover of all things holistic, personal growth enthusiast, and passionate about helping people live their most empowered lives. I’m also on my own wild ride of self-discovery, and I’m excited to share the journey with you.
The Early Days: Searching for More
Since I was a kid, I always felt like there was something more to life. I had big questions—like, who created this world, and why is it like this? But growing up, spirituality wasn’t a part of my life, so those questions went unanswered.
By the time I hit my teens, things got even more confusing. I struggled with depression, low self-esteem, and this constant feeling of shame around my body. I couldn’t figure out why I felt this way. I thought I had a pretty good childhood, so why was it so hard for me to love myself?
It wasn’t until I started diving deep into my own healing journey that I uncovered some hidden childhood traumas. And suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense. These traumas gave me the keys and answers I had been searching for. Knowing what had happened to me allowed me to feel so much more compassion for myself. It was like, “Oh, now I get it.” That understanding became a turning point for me, helping me heal on a much deeper level.
From Festivals to Healing
Before finding my work into the world of spirituality and healing, I spent years in the festival industry. It was a blast—creative programming, interactive performances, and building a vibrant community of like-minded people. I loved every minute of it! But festival life comes with its downsides—long nights, too much alcohol, and not much sleep. After a while, I started to feel the impact of living like that. I knew something had to change.
As I traveled during the off-seasons, I found myself drawn to yoga retreats, meditation, and breathwork. Slowly but surely, the practices I picked up on my travels began to shift something in me. The more I connected with these healthier habits, the less I felt drawn to alcohol and the party scene. I started to realize that there was a deeper, more fulfilling way to live.
My travels opened even more doors. From tantra retreats to plant medicines, I found practices that helped me start peeling away the layers of pain and self-doubt. Slowly, I started to reconnect with myself. The need to numb my emotions with alcohol began to fade, and I finally started to understand what self-love really feels like.

Finding my Purpose
Breathwork, Kambo, and Retreats
The more I worked on myself, the more I realized that I wanted to help others in their healing journeys. Breathwork and Kambo became my go-to tools, both for myself and for the people I work with.
Breathwork helped me cut unhealthy habits, feel more connected to my body, and regain my energy. Kambo, with its deep cleansing properties, helped me overcome bouts of depression and reconnect with my inner fire.
But it wasn’t just the practices that transformed me—it was the power of community and retreats. I found that true healing happens when we come together, share our stories, and hold space for each other. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to creating safe, transformative spaces— whether in retreats, ceremonies, or 1:1 sessions—where people can do the deep work and find their own spark again.
Why I’m Here
I’m walking the path of self-discovery. My purpose now is to guide others on their journey to empowerment, vitality, and clarity. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, disconnected, and unsure. But I also know that there’s a way out, and I’m here to help you find it.
I’m not about quick fixes—I’m about deep, lasting transformation. Whether it’s through Kambo, breathwork, or the magic of a retreat, I’m here to support you in releasing what no longer serves you and stepping into the life you’re meant to live.
My mission
I’m here to guide people back to their authentic, healthy spark. It lights me up to help others feel more confident, balanced, and in tune with themselves so they can live a life filled with purpose and joy. My mission is to remind you that everything you need is already within you—you just have to dive in and remember it.
Divinnerty
Divinnerty isn’t just a name—it’s an invitation. As a self-proclaimed “neologist,” (yes, I made that up!) I find joy in the art of wordplay and crafting new expressions.
And that’s exactly how “Divinnerty” was born! The name is a playful blend of two powerful ideas: “Dive-In” to discover your “inner divinity”. At the heart of Divinnerty is the belief that when we tap into our inner peace and loving awareness, we unlock our true potential.
My Journey: From Self-Doubt to Self-Discovery
If you really knew me...
You’d know that I’ve been on a massive “healing quest” for the last few years—or if I’m being real, it started way back in my teens.
Sometimes, my healing journey came from pure curiosity (you know, like, “What if life could be easier?”), but more often than not, it came from the feeling of being stuck in a low, depressed space. I had pretty terrible self-esteem, shame around my body, and enough negative self-talk to last a lifetime. I drank a lot back then because I thought it made me more “fun” and “brave.” Spoiler: it didn’t. Something had to give.
When I was 19, I finally went to the doctor for help with my depression and intrusive thoughts. Guess what? A 9-month waiting list to see a psychologist. Great. When it was finally my turn, I got hit with a multiple-choice questionnaire and the offer of antidepressants. Needless to say, I didn’t go back. I mean, could I just talk to someone, please?!
I realized I had to take matters into my own hands. So, there I was, glued to my computer, trying to find something that would help me feel less lost. The only problem? I had no idea what to search for. But hey, I’m stubborn—so I kept looking.
That’s when I stumbled upon Biodynamic Therapy. It helped me reconnect with my body and made me realize how deeply intertwined the body, mind, and emotions really are. It was a game-changer.
Fast forward a few years, and things really started to shift. Breathwork, meditation, yoga, and plant medicines came into my life and suddenly, the need to numb myself started to fade. Self-love started to grow, and for the first time, I could actually feel it.
In 2021, I faced a trauma that I had been avoiding for three decades (yep, that long). It wasn’t easy. I needed every ounce of courage, but confronting it changed everything. It was like a veil had lifted, and I started to really understand the patterns and emotions that had been controlling me for years.
Since then, I’ve worked with amazing coaches, therapists, plant medicine ceremonies, retreats—you name it. Each experience has expanded my perspective, showing me just how much we are capable of as human beings. I’m still a student of life, constantly learning, and I feel called to share these tools with others.
These days, I help others discover their inner strength, boost their energy, cultivate self-love, and break free from the beliefs and habits that keep them stuck. It’s why I love organizing retreats, leading Kambo, rapé, and cacao ceremonies, guiding breathwork sessions, and even crafting Goddess & Warrior jewelry—it’s all about transformation, from the inside out.
My purpose? To help you unleash the inner warrior or goddess you didn’t even know was there, rewrite those old stories, and step into the power you’ve always had.
