Hi! My name is Anna and I am a 23 year old, former collegiate D1 athlete. I have always had a passion for health & wellness, but it wasn't until I stepped away from the ski circuits my junior year that I realized how far from balanced my life as a student-athlete had been. I was fed up with living the life of a D1 skier, yet still feeling I lacked the body composition, energy levels and quality of life that was automatically projected on me as a collegiate racer. As a result I battled depression, as well as a disordered mentality surrounding food. I was ready to make a change so I shifted my focus toward fostering sustainability through intuitive balance, consistency, and mindfulness. Since doing so, I have devoted myself to transforming my life from one of emptiness and restriction to one of fulfillment and balance. Looking back to the person I was four years ago, I barely recognize her. Over time, I have come to realize healthy is a life-long lifestyle, not a diet or an overnight fix. My hope is that whollybanAnna will be a hub of encouragement and community through holistic bites, yoga flows, retreats and so much more, for those who are looking to change their outlook on wellness from a word, to a world of possibility. This website was created to share my journey, and my recipe, for discovering a positive balanced outlook on life through and after recovery. It has grown into something greater than I ever could have imagined and I cannot wait to see how far we will go. xo Anna
