THE
JOURNEY
…IS THE DESTINATION :)
THE ALIENATED
Born into a challenging world, Anna's early years were marked by solitude. Raised by a struggling immigrant father, she often spent hours alone, finding solace in her imagination. To provide support, she was sent to live with her grandmother in the heart of the Vietnamese countryside. There, she adapted quickly, finding a sense of community. However, This peace was short-lived. Years later, she was unexpectedly uprooted + returned to the U.S., a stranger in a familiar land. Thrust into late elementary school, she felt like an outsider, a stark contrast to the predominantly white school. This alienation persisted, as she became a hidden stepchild within her new “family-” never truly belonging despite her physical presence. Once again, she retreated into her inner world.
Growing up in a traditional Asian household, open communication wasn't always encouraged. When emotions ran high, the atmosphere would tense, marked by either short bursts of anger or heavy silences, both equally isolating. This environment fostered a deep well of empathy within her, sharpening her ability to read people + anticipate their intentions. She became acutely attuned to unspoken cues + subtle shifts in the energetic landscape, often finding herself several steps ahead. Years of bottling up her feelings without a healthy outlet eventually took a physical toll, manifesting in recurring asthma attacks. The response at the time wasn't exactly comforting: "Use your inhaler," they'd say, a solution that seemed to ignore the emotional root of the problem.
THE ALCHEMIST
Years of pent-up emotions finally reached a boiling point in 2019, manifesting as a debilitating autoimmune flare-up. Lost + unsure of where to turn, Anna embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Daily guided meditations provided solace, offering an internal path forward. Astrology readings, like a map in uncharted territory, offered a sense of direction during uncertain times. This sparked a fascinating exploration of various healing modalities, a deep dive into her awakening.
It wasn't a walk in the park. Opening the door to her past unleashed a torrent of long-suppressed issues. Waves of depression, intrusive thoughts, + declining health threatened to overwhelm her. Yet, even in the darkest moments, Anna clung to a proactive approach to healing. Holistic solutions resonated deeply with her, offering a path to self-reliance (7 years sober + celibate as of 2025, a testament to her unwavering commitment! )
Her exploration became a vast + enriching landscape. Past life regression, hypnosis, + inner child work offered a chance to unearth the roots of her false foundation. Energy work, meditation retreats, + reiki practices aimed to restore balance + inner peace. Sound healing, bodywork, + various dietary approaches addressed the physical manifestations of her emotional turmoil. Tarot practices, mediumship counseling, + a deepening trust in faith + prayer further honed her intuition, a skill that would become increasingly important on her journey.
THE ADVOCATE
Fueled by a hopeful spirit, Anna persevered through her journey of self-discovery, forging her own path + becoming her own role model. This transformative experience ignited a passionate commitment to advocating for the underdog, making her a fierce protector against injustice + Unfuckwithable in THE pursuit of authenticity. Grounded in truth, she continues to evolve, deepening her wisdom + sharing her insights to guide others through their life cycles. Mindful of the emotional, physical, mental, + spiritual dimensions, she offers a steady presence + loving support, fostering self-compassion, intentional living, + open-mindedness.
With over 15 years of experience in hospitality marketing, Anna’s intuitive ability to connect with diverse communities shines through. She excels at understanding her clients’ desires, both spoken + unspoken, + translating them into tangible results. This approach extends to her business, “Date With Divine,” now celebrating its 5th year! Here, she offers a personalized experience that blends life coaching, personal branding, + metaphysical insights. This holistic approach fosters self-discovery, clarity, + a more meaningful life for both her clients + herself, fueling her lifelong journey of learning + exploration.
In her downtime, Anna keeps her playful spirit alive. Music of all genres fills her soul (Spotify even titled her “The Shape Shifter”!, a testament to her diverse tastes). Random road trips + detours are a must. She finds humor in the unexpected. Life’s greatest joys? Simple pleasures, lovable chaos, snuggles with her son, + their delightfully unskilled dogs. A quiet observer, Anna prioritizes her connection with the divine, the very source of inspiration for her latest endeavor: building a non-profit foundation to better serve humanity.✧˖°
