Hi! My name is Anna. I am excited to offer my wellness-coaching program, Wellness by Anna Banana. My goal is to help clients become the happiest, healthiest version of yourself by creating the life they want to live — from the inside out.
That looks different for everyone, of course, so I focus on the three main pillars of health: nutrition, physical fitness, and emotional well being.
In my program, I work with clients for 6 weeks / twice a week, starting with:
- Assessments: We start with a conversation to set daily / weekly / monthly / and long-term goals.
- Checklists: We create checklists to determine how you’ll reach every goal, then we start taking those steps together.
- A plan of action: I set you up on a fitness and nutrition plan, and we do a workout and check-in on your progress — including helping you with mindset shifts and coping mechanisms to stay on track.
- Your partner-in-Wellness: My goal is to keep you accountable through regular check-ins to help you through rough spots, and keep you on your wellness path.
My wellness journey began when I decided to take control over my body, mind — and my life. The first step was to get control of my eating and fitness habits so I could find freedom within them.
At the time, I was a full-time nanny after graduating with a BFA in photography and film from VCUarts. I was also struggling with deep insecurity, isolation, anxiety and depression.
Then, one day I woke up and decided none of that had to be my truth. I had the power to change everything. So I did.
I basically turned my entire life and entire being inside out and upside down. I began making myself sweat every day and learned to nourish my body properly. Out of sheer will power, those new habits and became my daily routine. Within weeks, I saw a dramatic difference. I felt strong and capable. I felt powerful. I felt fit. I was no longer hungry for unhealthy food.
Soon, my body longed to sweat daily. This new wellness routine wasn’t just a routine. It was my way of life. That’s where and when the magic really began.
