Global Hospitality & Commercial Strategy Consultant | Feasibility Studies | Market Intelligence | Brand & Concept Development
I help investors, hotel owners, developers and hospitality businesses make better commercial decisions.

My work goes well beyond hospitality operations. I specialise in feasibility studies, commercial due diligence, market research, competitor benchmarking, business planning and concept development, providing owners and investors with the market intelligence needed to assess opportunities, reduce risk and maximise returns.
Whether it’s repositioning a luxury hotel, evaluating a tourism development, creating a new restaurant brand or preparing an investor-ready business case, I combine commercial analysis with practical operational experience to deliver recommendations that can be implemented.

Hi, I’m Anna an Australian Psychotherapist and Sensitivity Coach. I support individuals who are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, emotional sensitivity, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is both gentle and strategic, grounded in the belief that deep healing happens when we feel safe, understood, and empowered to change from within.
Over the years, I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life, and my background in fulltime travel, volunteering, and teaching has given me a deep appreciation for human complexity, resilience, and the emotional layers we all carry. These experiences, along with my therapeutic training, continue to shape how I hold space for others with compassion, flexibility, and curiosity.
I specialize in subconscious reprogramming, which means I work with the deeper layers of the mind the ones that store our core beliefs, habits, emotional patterns, and early experiences. When these go unexamined, they can quietly impact how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. Together, we gently explore and retrain these inner patterns so you can create lasting shifts in how you feel and function.
I blend a range of methods, including:
• Hypnotherapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Strategies
• NLP
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Mindfulness
• Kinesiology (Currently Studying)
This work is designed to help you:
~ Identify and release limiting beliefs
~ Heal emotional wounds and nervous system patterns
~ Build emotional resilience and self-trust
~ Create grounded, sustainable habits that align with who you truly are
Beyond my clinical practice, I operate as a professional Mental Health Writer, Book Developmental Editor, and Ghostwriter. As a CPD-certified editor and proofreader, I have copyedited and proofread entire books, authored articles, and ghostwritten high-impact content in the self-help, motivational, and trauma recovery spaces. I specialize in manuscript editing, line editing, and developmental proofreading for psychological literature, utilizing my clinical background to translate complex therapeutic insights into accessible, engaging, and deeply resonant language.
Please note: While my clinical and coaching sessions are billed at a fixed hourly rate, my writing, ghostwriting, and editing project rates are flexible and tailored entirely to the scope, word count, and depth of your project.
Having personally worked through chronic anxiety, depression, and sensitivity, I know how difficult it can be when your inner world doesn’t reflect the life you want to create. That’s why I’m committed to creating a space that’s safe, clear, and empowering not clinical or overwhelming.
If you're ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and reshape the beliefs that are keeping you stuck, I’d love to support you on that journey.
Let’s connect your clarity and calm are closer than you think.
