Anita currently works with PTSD, complex PTSD, and other forms of trauma — including sexual abuse and DID — at an Integrative Trauma Center, alongside her private practice. Using a somatic approach, she helps clients lower stress, regulate the nervous system, and relieve physical and emotional pain. Through Somatic Experiencing, Craniosacral work, energy healing, and other touch-based techniques, she supports clients in releasing and integrating emotions stuck in the body from past trauma — restoring a sense of wholeness and well-being. Clients frequently report feeling better equipped to handle stress.

Anita also helps clients navigating spiritual challenges and Kundalini syndrome. This specialized area of healing supports individuals in reconnecting with their authentic self to move through these misalignments.

Before 2008, Anita worked as a Radiation Therapist in Oncology for over 15 years, in both hospital and private clinical settings. She has also worked with special needs and terminally ill children through a Children’s Hospice Program.

Giving Back

Anita has volunteered at Children’s Hospital Orange County, with the homeless in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, and on a global outreach program serving underserved communities in India. She currently volunteers with the Somatic Experiencing Institute.

What Clients Say

Anita had excellent insight into my current mental state, flux and confusion, and was able to tease out different threads of negativity that needed clearing. She showed me how patterns had morphed as they descended down my family line, then offered tools and suggestions to add positivity, forward progress, light and love into my life — delivering all of it easily, kindly and soothingly.

Catherine Bresser

Anita is very talented and blessed with natural intuition — and she has crafted it. She gets to the root right away and clears it, then goes on to find anything else. She uses the time wisely: no unnecessary chit chat, just the real deal. She correctly identified things about my business and my life that she could not have known. She really nailed it.

Mary Barnard

Anita is professional, compassionate, and an empathizing listener who has made an amazing impact in my life. Her knowledge of various healing modalities meant she could customize sessions for the best results. She helped me work through and heal old patterns that would have taken far longer to process on my own. My energy level is higher and my mind is clearer. Thank you, Anita, for making such a difference in my life!

Cy Pope

A holistic session with Anita was just what I needed! Taking care of and improving my health has always been important to me. Anita was able to quickly engage me and release my body’s tension so I could relax. With the support of music and essential oils, I was soon unaware of sounds and other distractions. More importantly, I was able to concentrate on my breathing and connect with some of my past difficult experiences that were possibly blocking good health. At the conclusion of my session, I realized how much more energized and peaceful I felt. I’m ready for my next session!

Ernestine Frazier

Anita is highly skilled, intuitive, and a coach in the best sense. In less than one hour she gave me the gift of feeling comfortable in my own space — something I had struggled with for years. What a relief!

Amy Tremblay

Anita gave me tons of practical guidance to step into my true career. She has a varied background and was able to give me excellent advice from both her intuition and knowledge base that I had not received from anyone before. She also helped me clear some lifelong blocks. I feel really good about my new career now — like it’s really doable. The session with Anita was fun, inspiring, and enlightening. I would definitely love to work with her again!
