Anara’s approach to healing is guided by the teachings of Raman Pascha and Yasmeen Clark. She is deeply grateful to the insight and wisdom she has learned from their guidance and support. In training to be a Pascha Therapist and Pascha Therapist teacher, Anara discovered the power of self-compassion and its many faces. She also opened up to the wisdom she knew and felt as a child that while life is experienced at a very physical level, its essence is spiritual in nature. Anara believes that much of the individual and collective pain we face now is a call for us to come back to our spiritual nature. For her, spiritual equals the path of love. Self-compassion is one of its forms.

 

Anara has followed a number of career paths in the past. This has provided her with a rich history and skills to draw from when working with people. Her career has included many years of working in the field of education as a school teacher, an outdoor instructor, a Special Education Advisor, and as co-founder of Seven Oaks School. She has also worked as a mental health worker and supported behaviourally challenged youth in residential services.
