About Annmarie
Annmarie is an intuitive practitioner who integrates over 25 years of professional experience and training into her work.
Annmarie practiced as a psychotherapist for 25 years with specialties in trauma and couples therapy. She was a trainer and a professor for 15 years and her desire to more effectively help her clients and students—as well as a deep desire to allow her to more intentionally live from her soul—led her to study energy medicine.
Annmarie is certified in Integrative Energetic Medicine—a modality that uses subtle attunement and the human energy anatomy to increase balance and flow in all areas of life—body, mind, and spirit and she is a Reiki practitioner. She weaves energy medicine into her Awakening Energy Sessions.
Annmarie is committed to soulful growth in her work and in her own life. Her desire is to help others live into their larger life calling by developing inner awareness and learning to listen to the voice of their soul. As client's develop their ability to listen, they are better able to engage the challenges and questions presented by life and to align their life with their larger life purpose—to live life awake in everything.
Annmarie is available for Awakening Healing Sessions with her colleague Annie Browning via Zoom. She also co-facilitates Awakening retreats as well as the monthly Staying Awake Sessions and the Your and Our Awakening Masterclasses through A Common Awakening.
She is a contributor to the Common Awakening platform with downloadable content on alignment, expanding awareness, and living awake in all areas of life. She co-facilitates free webinar Sacred Circles and introductory sessions on how to use guidance in your life and work. To receive information about these events, please sign-up for the Common Awakening mailing list.

A Bit of My Story...
As far back as I can remember, I have been interested in larger life questions: Why am I here? What is my life's purpose? As a child, I paid close attention to my dreams and questioned life events. Believing that God still spoke, the words of the Bible that I read in my room fascinated me. I just needed to learn how to listen.
Through a circuitous path that unfolded before me, childhood experiences led me to psychology as the major best suited for my professional development. During that time, I also experienced a powerful conversion experience where I heard god speak and began to trust that the world really was enchanted—there was more to life than going through the motions of living and dying.
Challenging post-college jobs in the mental health field convinced me that I needed to pursue more training. I found myself in Los Angeles obtaining a master's and doctoral degree in marriage and family therapy. I began a 10 year clinical practice where my clients taught me how to listen and walk with enormous pain and to believe into amazing transformative potential.
I became well versed in trauma treatments, couples therapy, and in-depth individual companioning. Drawn by its attention to the embodied and experiential, I moved into attachment theory and attuned myself to the dynamics of couples. Through that work, I became convinced of the power of the non-verbal implicit space of the intuitive that is now becoming more validated by neuroscience. I became a professor training future professionals. I found myself as the one that folks came to for insight and waymaking as I held certifications and specialties that allowed me to speak, train, and consult.
What I knew in my heart, however, is that there had to be more that I could offer to my clients as well as a transformative path to pursue in my life. It was not that the profession I had trained for was no longer relevant—it provides a crucial support to those who are suffering and seeking support. The difference was that I was feeling called to listen in a different way to life. I wanted to journey with others as a companion where I was finally able to integrate my soul call with my professional practice honoring my deepest sense of purpose.
I was on my sabbatical from my teaching position when I enrolled in a training outside of my profession called Integrative Energetic Medicine. My subtle energy training transformed my world, personally and professionally. IEM enriched and deepened what I knew—most essentially—to be true and allowed me to learn to trust from a new place and in a 'whole' new way. It challenged me in ways that I cannot begin to express, but the result was a re-orientation of my work and my world.
I now call myself an intuitive mystic. My life has simplified to the bare essentials as I more fully inhabit the alive space within and around me. I am in my last year of training as an herbalist at Sacred Plant Traditions. Learning the energetics of plants has allowed me to listen even more deeply to the subtle, unseen spaces around me and to join in sacred collaboration with the natural world. My days are filled with writing, reflecting, tending medicinal plants, leading trainings, classes, and retreats, and offering limited Awakening Healing Sessions. My collaboration with Common Awakening is a tangible way to offer waymaking guidance to others on the journey of awakening.
If we work together in some way, my desire is to listen deeply into how your soul is leading you and to to help you develop these skills for yourself in your life. You have the ability to listen from within your soul that is concrete and will provide direction. Together, we will listen to how life is leading you in order for you to answer your deeper soul call and walk in this world awake to the life you are most called to live.
