hailing from just north of new york city, anni is a master student, raised on the arts and spirit.
her mother, also a teacher and shaman, made sure anni was exposed to many different spiritual and medicine lineages from all around the world; building a foundation for non-dual understanding from a young age. this immersion also was the container in which many different modalities of energy work would be absorbed by anni, through osmosis, synthesizing into what would become the foundations of her own unique approach to the time-body-matrix.
anni experienced her first spontaneous kundalini awakening at age 14 in the middle of mahopac high school. despite having had multidimensional experience and claire-senses validated by her mother since she was a little kid, in the context of early aughts suburban america, she would not truly have context to understand what was deemed an ‘anxiety attack,’ until many years later.
around age eighteen, she would be exposed to ken wilber’s “a theory of everything,” karl pribram’s “the holographic universe,” as well as work from gary zukav and david bohm, cementing what would grow into a lifelong passion for the intersection of quantum mechanics and spirituality. complex adapative systems: fractals of the incredible living universe we inhabit. this was also around the first time that she considered becoming a monk.
a musician and artist herself, anni spent the majority of her first phase of life working in many facets of the entertainment industry, centered around sound, starting with high school bands to off-broadway theatre, later focusing on recording technologies and music production, after her father’s death in 2014. this event also marked the end of her time at the suny purchase conservatory of music, where she technically was a studio production major, but would often wax poetic to anyone willing to listen about how she was studying the relationship of art and consciousness through the lens of music.
catapulted into adulthood, now as a two-time college dropout with nothing but her meditation, yoga, and drug habits as coping mechanisms, anni set off as a freelance audio engineer, producer, and technician- a career that gave her an opportunity to study people and the ways which we create realities, from an incredibly intimate perspective. her work with audio technology became a container to hone her sense of psychometry- the same sense that allows her to directly experience the structures of consciousness that make up our realities.
from 2014 until 2020 anni apprenticed under mark conese at ambient recording, a true temple of transcendental human emotional expression. always having experienced sound as shape, music and its production was a way for her to learn wave mechanics through her body. an intuitive approach to a discipline usually reserved for the mind.
in 2020, the world descended into the collective dark night of the soul which commonly came to be known as ‘the pandemic.’ (or a ‘viral’ fear program initiating a collective stink and death fright conflicts, for my gnm fans out there) for many of us, this brought us face to face with ourselves, especially the parts of us that we had been trying to keep out of our conscious awareness. for anni, this meant for the first time, facing head on and publicly, the truth of her existence as a two spirit // androgynous being. this was never a big secret, but something that wasn’t spoken of.
the gospel of thomas states:
“if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.
if you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”
truer words have never been spoken, and like clockwork, anni’s essence, unacknowledged, was beginning to destroy her. she enlisted the support of her now late ex-therapist, erik muten, to support her on her continued and deepening exploration of self. along this journey, so many things once buried would come to light- a history of deep medical and sexual trauma as an infant, years of ostracization and alienation from childhood through adolescence, (think: “wHaT aRe YoU?” being asked to a kid repeatedly for years - a result of said kid refusing to be anyone or way other than they are), as well as deeply engrained karmic patterns of servitude, codependency, and violence, up until this point unaddressed in her present incarnation, neatly packaged within the drug use that allowed her to survive these experiences, with the cherry of shame on top.
all of this would also give way to her understanding of herself and unique experience as autistic, a label she does not choose to identify with, but that was a profoundly helpful tool along her way. ultimately, anni finds diagnostic identification to be a confining space: one that limits the growth of human consciousness, an experience to which she has, to this day, discovered no bounds.
an aside, erik fired her as a client in 2021, in an incredible therapeutic move, preventing anni from getting lost in self-identifying as disabled. he also introduced anni to the school of metamodernism through the works of hanzi freinacht, which she stills feels make up an excellent compendium to wilber’s take on spiral dynamics.
in february 2022, after a long process later understood to be the gift of getting to act as a death doula, a soul mate of anni’s killed herself. catapulted into grief she had never known the likes of, not even with the death of her father, and at this point without a mentor, she began once again growing into the healer she needed and could not find.
god calls. we answer.
during this time she would find herself consulting physicists and mystics, studying energy work, psychology, complexity, german new medicine…all as a means of going deeper into the one- the I AM- the lineages she was raised on.. anything she could reach for to bring some sense of order to the chaos she was experiencing.
later that year, anni was gifted by spirit a missing piece of her understanding that ignited her onto the path she finds herself on today. this came during meditation in the form of a missing link in the understanding of einstein’s famous equation e=mc^2, that allowed it to be reduced linguistically outside of the confines of linear space time. this was essentially an initiation into the numerical mechanics of GOD- the informational code out of which all we experience arises.
from this point she began what would be a two year dialog with a friend in tunisia, a devout scholar of the qu’ran, comparing and contrasting notes between what he would refer to as his religion and her science.
along with this, following her inner understanding of sacred geometry and the mechanics of our conscious universe, anni found herself drawn through keylontic science to be initiated into gnostic krystic teachings. for her this became a portal to the interfaith spiritual traditions that she explores to this day with her soul family across the world. these explorations continue to introduce her to the most wonderful collaborators and all realms of mystic tradition, ever a seeker on the path to higher consciousness.
in 2023, it became clear that this work- this great work, MUST become the center of her life. while music was always and will always be a sacred practice for her, the universe picked her up and re-oriented her towards coaching as a means of sharing her gifts with the world.
for a while, this would be an aside to work she was continuing to do in the arts, up until the beginning of 2024 when spirit finally said enough was enough (mashallah) and her old world, in a beautiful and horrible death rattle, began to crash down before her: leaving her with no other option but to begin to fulfill her destiny. (more on this story another time.. there’s a whole book in here ;))
today, anni’s primary focus is her work as a mentor and teacher, though of course she still makes a record or two.
she is also chief complexity officer at a tech startup called mozaik. mozaik is an interface for the natural human technology contained in teams and organizations. allowing complexity to self-organize: allowing the brilliance of the human psyche to do what it does best: collaborate in the creation of the future we want to inhabit.
