My Story
I walk with women and their families through the sacred thresholds of life — in these potent times on Mother Earth.
It is my honour to support you in your journey of caretaking the sacred — to remember your innate gifts, your somatic womb wisdom, and your connection to the land that nourishes it all.
I have walked a ceremonial path of study since my teenage years, apprenticing with various indigenous grandmothers and embodied earth-based traditions — focusing primarily on women's healing and leadership.
I truly believe in the elemental forces of nature being our primary allies as human beings — ones that we urgently need to remember how to work with.
In these unprecedented times, it is crucial to sustainably nurture a sense of belonging, togetherness and right relation to our bodies, each other, and the Earth Mother.
My Story
Anna Maria was born in Sweden — always a deeply sensitive, empathic child connected to the spirit of nature.
Her curiosity for understanding the mystery of human beings fortified throughout her studies in Natural Science & Sustainable Development — top grades and Ivy League aspirations — but eventually leading her to burnout, injury, and an undeniable quest for something deeper.
In her earlier teenage years she had already explored worlds of Regression Therapy, Yoga & Meditation, and at the age of 18 she took a one-way leap of faith into the wild Central American jungle, Native American ceremonial ways, and elemental relation — where she found a long-lost sense of true belonging.
For many years she immersed deeply into the worlds of Mexica, Wixárika, Lakota, Andean & Amazonian traditional ways. Anna Maria was initiated into the depths of ceremony, sacred song, and ways of life by respected clan grandmothers and wisdom keepers.
While the shamanic Red Road remained her primary path, over the years she also combined these studies, training in other modalities including Soundhealing, Therapeutic Breathwork, Taoist Arts, and Somatic Womb Healing.
In 2015, Anna Maria founded a women's mystery school in Bali called the Earth Priestess Temple Arts. She built its sanctuary at the foot of a holy waterfall and has remained the steward of this sacred land since.
She held booked-out trainings and retreats regularly in Bali, around Europe and Central America for many years — until the call of Motherhood became stronger than anything else.
Returning to her Nordic homelands to immerse in her own ancestral roots, her daughter was born and raised under the midnight sun and the Aurora Borealis. Through these early years of motherhood, Anna María studied under the Mexican midwifery lineage of Innate Traditions, specialising in Holistic Postpartum Care and the reintegration of a family-centred culture as a pathway of thriving life on Earth.
Now based back in Bali with her Brazilian husband and their daughter, Anna Maria continues to support mothers and community through integrative ceremony, sweatlodge, and women's retreats rooted in real life.
Anna Maria is a Mother, Temazcalera, Pipecarrier, Moon- & Sundancer — but more than anything, devoted to the innate blueprint that the elemental forces orient us toward as human beings on Mother Earth.
Through her retreats, trainings and ceremonial work she has impacted thousands of people across the world to walk in beauty and in right relation to the everyday sacredness of Life.
