I work at the intersection of ancestral memory, embodied practice, and creative healing - helping individuals and groups navigate change through practices that reconnect us with breath, body wisdom, and ancestral knowledge. I see life as an interconnected web: responsive, relational, constantly being woven and rewoven, where the past affects the present, affects the future. 

My work is grounded in doctoral research on trauma and the body, many psychotherapeutic trainings, and 17+ years of practice. I offer transformative workshops, institutional programs, and one-to-one sessions.

FOR STORYTELLERS, WRITERS AND ARTISTS 

ARE (Art, Research, Ecology)
Creative work doesn't emerge from the mind alone - it comes from something deeper, older, more mysterious. Through ancestral enquiry I offer frameworks for accessing the wisdom of the body through breath work, embodied awareness, and ecological practives creating change, magic, and hope for the future.

Whether you're working through creative blocks, seeking a deeper resonance with the world, or wanting to transform your creative practice, this work creates space for community, care and genuine transformation.

FOR  ORGANISATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS

Organisations face unprecedented disruption - AI integration, ecological crisis, staff burnout, the erosion of human connection under technological pressure. My work addresses the deeper ancestral, embodied, and relational dimensions of collective resilience that conventional approaches miss.

I offer bespoke programmes in collective trauma literacy, embodied discernment practices for the technological age and frameworks for navigating change with integrity and care.

ONE-TO-ONE SESSIONS

Individual sessions weave together therapeutic support, ancestral practice, and creative guidance for those navigating major transitions, grief, creative thresholds, or seeking deeper connection with their lineage and life's work.

What makes my approach different?

My work integrates therapeutic depth with creative practice, trauma literacy, ancestral wisdom, academic rigour and embodied knowing. I call it "embodied kinship practice", where the methodology itself is a living, responsive creative act always in flow, always shifting and changing, always in movement.

ARE is a trans-disciplinary international group of artists, writers, performers and researchers. Set up in 2018 by Anna Walker with the support of Jo Milne and Belen Cerezo, we investigate concepts of individual and collective agency from locations across the UK, Europe, Canada and Israel. We currently have 17 members, meeting once a month, online, to share our time and disseminate research.

STORYTELLING

Storytelling is a powerful tool to address complex and difficult issues. Life-stories, fairytales, myths and legends are woven into every aspect of the work I do. Performance storytelling creates a rich and sociable event in a limitless variety of spaces, a shared experience to spur the imagination. Through storytelling there is space to find a deeper understanding of each other, our pasts and ourselves.

"Working with Anna is to step through a magical portal of change and renewal – a symbiotic relationship where you both come back home to yourself and find new embodied ways of inhabiting this world. Anna is generous with her attention, care, and curiosity, in sharing her wisdom and guiding you back to your own wisdom. The sessions are gentle in their ministrations but radical in their transformation."  P. U. 2026 

"Wonderful and generous workshops, thoughtfully prepared and led with care and passion by Anna. These workshops helped me to look into the heart of stories, to connect with them in new and deeper ways and developed my skills of telling in my own authentic and rooted voice." J.S. 2024
