Anne Little, PhD(c)

Anne Little has an MA in Transpersonal Psychology, and an MA in Counselling Psychology and is currently completing her doctoral dissertation for a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology. She has been studying and practicing Holotropic Breathwork tm since 1989, she trained with and was certified as a breathwork facilitator by Dr. Stanislav and Christina Grof in 1993. Anne leads Holotropic Breathwork tm retreats and workshops in both Canada and the United States as well as guiding individuals and couples through private breathwork sessions.

Anne is studying and writing about the effects of long-term engagement with non-ordinary states of consciousness for the purposes of healing--specifically about healing ancestral and collective issues; and also about some of the ways that an awakening of kundalini can impact consciousness. She is currently involved in writing three (unpublished) works: (Healing multigenerational family patterns using non-ordinary states of consciousness; The Serpent Way: A defacto approach to relationship in a braver and kinder world; and Divine Darkness: The sacred path of female empowerment) as well as several articles.

Anne has a private practice in Vancouver with a focus in transpersonal psychology. She has 15 years of experience in the field of counselling. For the last several years, Anne has been an avid student of shamanism, and also of Tantric Buddhism and of Hindu tantra. She uses her knowledge of these areas in addition to her psychological background in her work with others. Anne specializes in helping individuals who are experiencing spiritual emergency and spiritual emergence issues, especially shamanic crisis, kundalini energies and psychic opening. She has also been a student of Western astrology since 1994 (studied with renowned writer and scholar Richard Tarnas who has linked astrological archetypes to Grof's map of consciousness). Anne's knowledge of archetypal astrology enables her to offer clients a holistic, transpersonal perspective of their psychospiritual issues and of their inner work using non-ordinary states.

Her compassion, woven with in-depth experience gleaned from her own spiritual journey, as well as a sincere desire to be of service to others, infuse her ability to assist those in need of support and guidance through life's challenges and transition periods. Because of the intensity of her own inner process, Anne is able to effectively support journeyers through any kind of process that they may encounter.
