About Ana
A lifetime devoted to the art of new life
My teaching has shifted exclusively to mentoring, alongside a small number of Baby Academies. With only 2 academies left before the program retires, these are the last opportunities to experience this format.
I currently offer 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 mentoring — and I have certified trainers located around the world who are ready to support you for 2026 training needs.
